A major Walt Disney World attraction is about to close… but NOT for long.
During the last several years, Disney has operated their two water parks on an alternating basis, meaning that when Typhoon Lagoon was open, Blizzard Beach would be closed, and vice versa. Which in turn made the announcement that when the former reopens from refurbishment, the latter would be closing. However, that’s not the whole story this time…
While Blizzard Beach will be closing on May 1st, the park will be REOPENING on May 21s. Furthermore, according to Disney, “both Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park will be open throughout the summer!”
It makes sense that Disney would have both water parks open during the busy summer season, as this will be the first summer during which the check-in day water park perk is available to Disney World hotel guests.
Since January 1st of this year, Disney World hotel packages have included a complimentary water park admission for guests on their check-in date. Previously, the perk was available for whichever of the two water parks was open on that date. During the summer when both water parks are operational, guests will have their choice between visiting Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach.
Blizzard Beach is closing on May 1st, however, the park is reopening about three weeks later and will remain open ALONG WITH Typhoon Lagoon through the summer months! Stay tuned to DFB for more on Disney’s 2025 updates!
