    I'll be traveling with both a 4 yr. old and 6 yr. old. I was just wondering which water park you would recommend. They both love water, but only the 6 yr. old can swim.

    Hi Patricia!

    My kids (5 and 7) love the Disney Water parks, and we ensure that we include at least one visit each trip.  Both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach have a fabulously-themed "kiddie" area for young children with mini slides, splash areas and sprinklers.  At Blizzard Beach, this area is called "Tikes Peak" and is a mini replica of the entire park.  It has wonderful, shaded areas with picnic tables and lounge chairs, and is a great place to "set up camp" for the day.  At Typhoon Lagoon, the kiddie area is "Ketchakiddie Creek".  In my opinion, there are more attractions for little kids at Blizzard Beach, however, both have plenty of options.

    Both parks also have tons of intermediate and more adventurous slides, pools and raft rides for more daring kids, that might entice your six year old.  At Typhoon Lagoon, there is a giant wave pool and an opportunity to go snorkeling with sea life.  At Blizzard Beach, there is an amazing family raft ride (Teamboat Springs) that all of you can ride as well as some fabulous slides and raft rides that are neither too "lame" or too scary!   Both parks have great Lazy Rivers. 

    Life vests are available for all guests free of charge at both parks, so be sure to pick one (or two) up if it would make you or your children feel more comfortable.  Finally, I recommend bringing your own towels for the day, as there is a fee to "rent" the water park towels.

    Have a great day splashing around!
