    We'll have 2- 2 yr olds w/ us, which water park do you suggest for the littler ones? Do you recommend us taking the strollers to the water park or leaving them at the room? There will be times when will have to leave them unattended, like the lazy river.

    Welcome to the Mom's Panel, Nathan!  Both Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon offer great theming, exciting attractions, and are immaculate water parks!  I am a mom to twin boys and we brought them to Disney's Blizzard Beach on our first water park visit when they were two years old! We have purchased annual water park passes in the past and have spent a great deal of time at both of these fun-filled water parks! Our personal favorite is Disney's Blizzard Beach for its unique theming, Teamboat Springs (family raft ride), and Ski Patrol Training Camp. Tikes's Peak offers tots their own watery play area. A snow-castle fountain, pop-up water jets and kid-sized slides make this shallow water area a perfect place to play for little ones who are less than 48 inches tall.Although my eleven-year-old now prefers the more challenging Surf Pool at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon, I would feel more comfortable with "little ones" at the tamer Melt-Away-Bay at Disney's Blizzard Beach.You will enjoy relaxing on floats (there are even small ones for the youngest guests) on the Cross Country Creek, also known as the lazy river.You may want to consider using the complimentary life vests that are available for your "little ones" at the water parks.We have never brought our strollers to the water parks.I find the walking to be quite minimal compared to the regular theme parks.You will find areas with sand and stairs that make it more challenging to navigate with a stroller.We have never had a problem with leaving our personal belongings in our beach bag in a lawn chair. Follow this link to view all of the attractions that you can look forward to experiencing at Disney's Blizzard Beach. I hope this information helps! Please feel free to write me back with any additional questions regarding the DIsney water parks. Best wishes for a Splish Splashing Good Time, Nathan!
    Happy Planning,
    Jodie
