It was way too crowded, too much hot pavement, the lines were too long, and the slides weren't all that fun. Worst of all, their version of the lazy river sucks -- not only was it too crowded and the water filled with crap, but you can't relax on it. Every few dozen feet, they start dumping ice-cold water on you. I like the theme okay, I guess, but Typhoon Lagoon is much better. I wish they'd build a third water park (or more likely, rebuild and reopen River Country) to siphon off the crowds. I really didn’t like Blizzard Beach.

It's the only way to get rid of that sort of mildewy feeling I get in Florida. What did you think of Blizzard Beach? I just shared <a href="http://www.wdwip.com/media/Canada%20-%20You%27re%20A%20Lifetime%20Journey.mp3" rel="nofollow">"You're a Lifetime Journey"</a> with a Canadian friend of mine (it's been in heavy rotation here since we got home), and she directed me to this, which I thought you might enjoy. You may be burnt out on all things Canada for a while, but on the other hand, it might displace some of the background music that must be lodged in your noggin pretty fierce by now: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ngTQNQwlf8" rel="nofollow">Log Driver's Waltz</a> You can kind of image it as what the Canada pavilion would look like if they installed a lazy river...

Log Driver’s Waltz

You can kind of image it as what the Canada pavilion would look like if they installed a lazy river…
