The Cross Country Creek lazy river travels around the outside edge of Blizzard Beach. This snow family might want to get out of the sun.
The winter theme extends throughout the park. Tike's Peak includes a tube slide that looks like a bobsled run.
Tike's Peak also offers a pint-size body slide. A brave soul just plummeted down Summit Plummet.
It's a hike up to the 120-foot level of Summit Plummet. Summit Plummet is perhaps the most intense thrill ride at Walt Disney World.
The Teamboat Springs rafts make their way around the long course. Eight riders on mats compete against each other on the Toboggan Racers.
Kids navigate the iceberg walk. The Downhill Double Dipper is another Blizzard Beach racing ride.

Discovery Cove

At Discovery Cove, SeaWorld's sister park, getting up close and personal with animals has nothing to do with luck. Every guest is guaranteed hang time with dolphins, stingrays, exotic birds and other creatures.

Part water park, part SeaWorld attraction, part hands-on, real-life adventure, Discovery Cove offers a unique respite from the typical theme park frenzy. With daily attendance capped at 1000, guests are free to snorkel in the simulated coral reef, float around the tropical river and explore the lush 33-acre park without being elbowed or waiting in any lines. Groups of no more than six swim and play with the dolphins, ensuring guests one-on-one quality time with the animals.                

Discovery Cove's amenities and level of service resemble a posh resort more than a theme park. At about four times the going rate for theme park admission, the fee for all of this exclusivity is not insignificant.
