Need a Lift?

Every ski resort has a chairlift to ferry Guests up the mountain, and Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park is no exception! This slow-moving experience is an effortless way to access the entrance to attractions like:

  • Summit Plummet – The most thrilling waterslide at Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park, with a 120-foot long, 12-story drop.
  • Slush Gusher – A tamer, 90-foot-long waterslide for those not quite ready to take the “big plunge.”
  • Teamboat Springs – A family-style whitewater raft ride that fits up to 6 Guests per inner tube.

Beach umbrella canopies provide shade as you ride up.
