[@johnnicpon5783]

Yes both are great. However Typhoon Lagoon is our preference. First because of the surf/wave pool, awesome! Second because of the sand beach. We could spend all day here. Blizzard Beach is probably better for the teen set with all the great slides. Good vid, thank you.

Great video fella, really enjoyable to watch through. Surprised they haven't added Olaf to Blizzard Beach 🙃😝 The Summit Plummet looks awesome, and while the snow theme is cool and done really well, I agree about the tropical theme for a water park, nothing beats that lovely warm feel 😊

[@Art_V101]

Very solid review of the Disney waterparks,you truly cant say one is better than the other,it depends on what youre looking for and I agree with you that Typhoon is slightly better overall due to the theming and amount of trees.If what you want are thrilling slides Blizzard beach is clearly better as well as for kids.I cant talk much about food as I rarely eat at these parks but in the 90s I ate a burger at Blizzard beach that I still talk about today as it was the worst burger Ive ever had,it was a cold black hockey puck,I still cant believe how bad it was.

[@patrickfrondigoun4145]

Loved the snow theming of Blizzard Beach. Think it was because it was the first one I went to, and the fact my only previous experience of water parks was Waterwold in Stoke-on-Trent, why it was my favourite of the Disney water parks, and the fact that there was a wasp infestation in the drinks machine and a snake on the loose when I went to Typhoon Lagoon

[@deborahryder7521]

It so sad they don’t open both at the same time now. Way back when I can remember going to both during a trip now we only ever get to go to Tythoon Lagoon because of the time of year we go 😢

[@pwa30]

Both water parks look fun but if I had to choose one to go to for the first time, it would be typhoon lagoon. The wave pool there looks like so much fun!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Agreed!

[@marlzbarlz9783]

One thing I don’t like about typhoon is that it can pull you in. I was only little when this happened: I was just playing in the water like a normal person and then after a wave, it pulled me in closer so I held onto the wall, which the employees didn’t like me doing for some reason, and I worked my way back to the sand

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah the wave pool can be scary!

I was last there in 1995 when blizzard beach was new. We spent the entire day at Typhoon Lagoon and I could have spent another day there.

I love your videos ❤️. I currently live in Scotland and have my Disney world holiday booked for September 2021 (was meant to be February 2021). When do you think the UK will be able to travel to Disney World again ? I understand it’s hard to predict

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Hi Shaun, appreciate that! Yeah it’s really tricky, but I would guess that late August/September is when we might see flights, possibly sooner. The number of cases etc are continuing to fall quite substantially. It is possible though that due to variants they decide they don’t want people travelling in summer holidays, and so might delay flights until September. Who knows, but I’m optimistic. Hope you have an awesome trip, hopefully in September 🤞

Hey FB , can again comment on videos 😀. Slick , fair and correct conclusion . Typhoon lagoon best for Disney water park. Blizzard beach all a bit dated for me . However with everything Disney everyone should go to ALL parts a least once ( make your own mind up ) . Fair and impartial balance between the reviews . Content great as always . If really honest unless you are an absolute Disney fanatic better water parks are available Volcano Bay and Aquatica . But that’s just my view . Going by your subscribers , you are on point and from those early reviews to now . Think you have got this channel sorted . Well done 👍

[@Idk-r5m]

I went to both and I would say typhoon lagoon is a 2/10 it was dull but blizzard beach 15/10 so fun and gave me a doughnut the size of my head

[@PixPete]

Not only do Disney need to get Typhoon Lagoon open again but its high time they built a 3rd water park, we are long overdue. Also think they need a 5th theme park as well. The competition are really catching up and it feels like Disney are no longer expanding in Florida like they used to. What was it, 1995 for Blizzard Beach and 1998 for Animal Kingdom? It's been 23 years since a new park opened!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

100% agree. Feels like they’re going to continue to lose market share to Universal unless they invest in a 5th gate. I would love them to do an ancient history park: Egypt, Rome, Greece, Prehistory (dinosaurs) etc.

@@TheFrugalBrit That's one hell of an idea! I would love to see a Disney park with ancient history themed areas. Image the fun Imagineers could have dipping in to Greek Mythology as well! Ancient Alien pyramid rides in Egypt too haha!

Typhoon lagoon wave pool has an extremely rough bottom and the waves WILL knock you down! Be warned you will get scraped up. I much prefer Blizzard Beach, although Summit Plummit will give you the mother of all wedgies!!! it is great fun. The family slide is also great fun. Blizzard Beach is the way to go. Universal recently opened up a water park but I have yet to visit there.

[@thedisnerd4296]

If you're a stronger swimmer, you need to go deeper for the large waves and you can choose to "ride over" them, or get tossed "in" it. You'll never touch the ground if you're in the deeper water. Far superior pool, imo. If you don't like the larger surf wave; the bobbing waves alternate throughout the first 1/2 of the day :).

as someone who pretty much only went to blizzard beach as a kid, i have to say that typhoon lagoon is better. i like the theme more, the food more, and when they had it, swimming with sharks was pretty dang cool. blizzard beach, since it's covered in white, it's really noticeable when things get a bit mucky and dirty from age and use. i am also a bit biased, since it rained pretty much every single time we went to blizzard beach, whereas it was always sunny days at typhoon lagoon, and as someone who lives near ski areas, tropical is far more desirable a theme, haha

Totally agree, tropical theme is much more satisfying. I was the opposite as we only did TL when I was a kid, likely one of the reasons I prefer it.
