Hiya Whitney,
Welcome back to planDisney! I can’t believe summer is almost here! We have been discussing whether or not we should add a summer visit to our schedule to celebrate our oldest’s third birthday. The news that both water parks will be open this summer is definitely swaying us towards yes. My Frozen-loving toddler loves
Blizzard Beach!
Now, let’s chat about getting to Blizzard Beach! I like where your head is; starting your morning exploring
Animal Kingdom is perfect, especially if you plan to escape the heat at the water park later in the day. The great news is that you can take one of the
Disney buses from Animal Kingdom Park directly to Blizzard Beach (currently, that is the only theme park with direct service to Blizzard Beach). The buses generally come every 20 minutes, and service to Blizzard Beach begins 30 minutes before it opens and ends about 60 minutes after it closes.
My pal, Greg, has shared great info about Blizzard Beach, but I wanted to share one additional tip with you. One thing we found during our last trip was how much our toddler loved
Tike’s Peak. She wanted to spend the whole time there, which made it a challenge to experience other areas. Had we known that, we would’ve booked a
Polar Patio and requested it in the Tike’s Peak area. This would’ve allowed us to have a home base from which to explore, keep an eye on her, and store our belongings. I hope this was helpful, Whitney. Please come back and see us if you need anything else!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
