Disney's Blizzard Beach Attraction List with Height Requirements

We often say that Disney’s Blizzard Beach is geared toward children with its unique theming of an abandoned ski resort turned water park. Instead of the tropical, laid-back vibes of a water park like Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach is more of a competitive, let’s hit the slopes kind of park. Adults and children alike will have several opportunities to race each other and take on some thrilling drops if they desire. However, the park has a few minimum and maximum height requirements. So, not every ride is geared toward the little ones. Below, we’ll preview those requirements.

How Disney Water Parks Operate

It’s important to note that Disney’s water parks operate on a rotational schedule. Blizzard Beach is typically open between early November and March, and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is open between March and November. You’ll want to check the exact hours and availability for your visit.
