      We didn’t go to this park .

      Trusted Customer reviewed Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park 20 Jun, 2026

    • 5 stars:

      This is my favourite Disney park but Disney was a bit disappointing this time as my disabled best friend who can’t walk very well. She didn’t get the fast pass this year but we did 4 years ago. This time she struggled with heat and walking it took the magic away for us all. She had to wait in slinky 110 mins in the heat. Disney did offer her a Que return for just her +1 which meant she had to stand by with one person nearby until we were at the front then had to text her and she can come and join but it was extra walking and stress for her. It’s like they don’t care about disabled and told her to just get a wheelchair 🦽
