We enjoyed river country much more for our 2 year old compared to Blizzard Beach. I also find it much more relaxing and less crowded. Our 6 six year old also enjoyed it more because he could go on the tube rides over and over without waiting in much of a line. Also the day we were there Goofy was there most of the day, in the water, fooling around spashing people and just being "goofy". It was actually one of the highlights of our trip.
