• Ice Pail Relays where teams line up and pass pails of water to one another, trying to be the first to fill a container at the end.
• A “Snowball” Toss where pairs compete in a snow-themed water balloon toss.
• Ski Pole Limbo, a snowy twist on traditional limbo—using a ski pole as the limbo bar!
• Slide Races that allow teams to race down one of the signature water slides at Blizzard Beach.

Olaf and Kristoff will be on hand, appearing on the Observation Deck near Summit Plummet to take part in the opening and closing ceremonies, and giving updates on their teams’ progress throughout the day.

The “Frozen” Games will be an all-day event that guests can sign up for when they arrive at the park entrance. All activities are included with regular admission to Blizzard Beach.

Well, Universal doesn't have Blizzard Beach. We are going for three days ONLY to visit water parks, and spending the rest of the week visiting family.

It's the kids who want to go. And honestly, we did this same thing a few years ago and the water parks were practically empty during the morning hours. Very enjoyable. And, there are PLENTY of bars at the water parks too. ;)
