Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park

According to Disney legend, a freak blizzard blanketed the area with snow to create Florida’s first ski resort. But as temperatures soared and the snow melted, the slalom courses, bobsled and toboggan runs made the perfect waterslides. The one that'll really put the wind up you is the Summit Plummet, one of the world's tallest and fastest freefall bodyslides.

Here, smaller children can splash about on scaled-down versions of the grown-up waterslides.

Little ones can slot themselves into a rubber ring and bob about on the 1-acre wave pool at the base of Mount Gushmore.
