The games are ‘games’ at Blizzard Beach (which are included in admission) where you can join Team Kristoff or Team Olaf to participate in a variety of activities, from Ice Pail Relays and a Snowball Toss to Ski Pole Limbo and Slide Races. Not only that, but there will be crafts, a live DJ, and for the first time in forever, a special Kristoff and Olaf character greeting location.

Frozen Summer Games begins May 26th at Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park. No end date has been announced.

A “virtual queue system” is being tested at Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon beginning today, March 28, through April 7,  2017.  According to Disney, “Virtual queuing systems are designed to enable users to reserve a place in line for an attraction without physically waiting in the queue, providing an enhanced Guest experience and more time for additional experiences.” Sounds a lot like Fastpass…

The virtual queue test will include Downhill Double Dipper, Slush Gusher, and Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach, and Miss Adventure Falls at Typhoon Lagoon.

We’ll post more information on this test of the new system as we receive it.  If you happen to experience this system in the water parks today, let us know in the comments!

With the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend happening over this time, guests should expect a heavy impact on all of the Walt Disney  World theme parks, and the closure of Blizzard will likely not help much.

Typhoon Lagoon is currently closed for its annual refurbishment.
