Best Water Park?

[OneLuckyMom]

I will be travelling with my daughter to WDW in August for our second summer vacation in a row there, just the two of us. This year I want to hit a water park one day, but I'm not sure which one is the best for us. My daughter will be 7 (probably just making a 48" height requirement), and loves thrill rides but won't go off by herself on one - I have to go on them with her. I, in turn, hate many of the more extreme thrill rides - I can tolerate the likes of Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and may even agree to ride Space Mountain this year (I've done it in the past but not liked it - if I do it again, it'll only be to make my daughter happy). Anything more than that is just too much for me and won't be happening.

Given all this, I'm leaning towards going to Typhoon Lagoon. It seems to have less "extreme" attractions, although plenty to do. Blizzard Beach sounds like a blast for thrill-seekers, but since that's just not me, I'm thinking there would actually be less for us to do there. Any opinions from those who have actually been-there-done-that??

Your assumptions are right. BB is a little more thrill, and TL is a bit more relaxed. I prefer TL, more to do there other than just slides. You have a shark reef, lazy river, and giant wave pool. Plus there are lots of slide to do together.

I'll be there in August too, and I'll definetly be hitting TL. Have fun.

TL is my family's favorite. We didn't like BB as much. We love the wave pool at TK, hated BB's. We also like the lazy river at TL better.

Personally, I prefer Typhoon Lagoon. They're both really fun, though. I do think Blizzard Beach is more thrilling, but the wave pool is pretty awesome and the shark reef is pretty cool, too.

not to mention, TL has more shade and in the summer months, your feet will thank you.
