Blizzard Beach, the newer water park at Disney World, is known for its multiple thrill rides and incredibly detailed theme!

Star Tours: The Adventure Continues has received a complete overhaul during its time out of commission. Guests will have a completely new experience with this revamped and reimagined 3D adventure that includes a new pilot, new droids and new excursions into space.
