Disney water parks?

Kids are 5 and 10. Also, is there a less crowded day of the week or time of day to be at those water parks? TIA!

Both are terrific, but if you think you time is better elsewhere then skip it. You can't do everything at Disney.

Blizzard Beach is my favorite for err kids that age.

if you're staying at Beach Club, with its Stormalong Bay pool area, I can't imagine any reason you'd want to spend extra and go to Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach. You basically have your own water park included at Beach Club.

Stormalong Bay has 3 ACRES of water park stuff. Just steps from your hotel room at Beach Club you'll have 1) a lazy river 2) a huge water slide 3) a zero-entry pool with a sandy beach 4) kiddie pool + slide 5) 3 spas, 3 separate pools. And all of it is for Beach Club and Yacht Club guests only. No way I would waste time going to Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach.

There are a few things they can do but if they have to be wearing the life vests all the time, that will limit what rides they can do. At least this is how it was when I guarded there. Disney only allowed their approved life vests and if you were wearing one there were many rides you couldn't go on. I think everyone would have fun but I don't think it would be worth the extra money. Your kids would probably be happy at one of the hotel pools.

Not true. We asked disney and they allowed us to bring our own life vest.

My kid can swim but isn't the strongest swimmer and I got worried about a few of the big slides. Also I made sure we all stayed close to the "shore" in the wave pool.

However they don't let any kids in over 48" so keep that in mind.

OP, I don't mean this to be snarky, but you really should work on both your kids swimming abilities. Just for safety reasons.

Agree, if you are at Beach Club and don't have strong swimmers, I'd skip the water parks.
