Try Parasailing, Jet Skiing and More at Walt Disney World’s Contemporary Resort

disney-world-sammy-duvall-watersports.jpgSeveral Walt Disney World resorts offer guests the opportunity to rent speed boats, pontoon boats or canopy boats to explore the lakes and enjoy the scenery Disney is famous for, but only Disney’s Contemporary Resort provides water sports for thrill seekers.  Disney guests can visit Sammy Duvall’s Watersports Centre at the Contemporary Resort and sign up to try parasailing, jet skiing or other exciting watersports.  It’s a great opportunity for families with older children or teenagers to try exciting activities in a safe environment.

In a parasailing excursion, guests are taken by boat to the center of the Seven Seas Lagoon, hooked up to a parachute and hoisted up to 450 feet in the air for ten minutes while the boat below cruises around a designated section of the lake.  When it’s time to come back down to earth, guests are reeled back onto the boat and land without ever touching the water.  It is possible for two people to parasail in tandem if they meet the maximum weight restrictions, which can vary based on how windy the weather conditions are.  There is a significant cost to parasail, but the views are beautiful, and it’s a memory that will last a lifetime for any family.

Jet skiing is another exciting water sport families can try at Sammy Duvall’s Watersports Centre.  Guests can enjoy an early morning guided tour of the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake.  This is a great time to take pictures of the Contemporary Resort, Polynesian Resort, Grand Floridian Resort and Magic Kingdom from the water.  A second option for jet skiers is called the Free Ride which gives guests the opportunity to take their jet skis into a special area on Bay Lake where they can speed through obstacles, race each other and just have fun.

Sammy Duvall’s Watersports Centre at the Contemporary Resort also offers waterskiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding and tubing.  Whether you’re a watersports novice or expert, you’re sure to have a great time. With all these water activities there will undoubtedly be something to please every member of the family including older children and teenagers.
