Disney’s Blizzard Beach Will Reopen Next Month

Blizzard Beach is opening just in time for the coolest time of year in Orlando.

Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park will reopen on Nov. 6 – just in time for the coolest weather we have in Orlando.

The water parks are often closed from November - January due to low temperatures

But assuming we have decent weather in Orlando, it will be great to have Blizzard Beach back.

Blizzard Beach reopened after COVID but then closed shortly after. It then reopened briefly only to close once again - and it remained closed for several months.

Disney never officially listed Blizzard Beach as under refurbishment and there was little news about why the park was actually closed.

Workers could be seen inside the park and a massive crane was onsite for several weeks.

A new Disney World Water Park pass is available and allows guests to visit Disney Water Parks again and again now through May 24, 2024 for just $79 plus tax.

The seasonal pass has no block out dates and no reservations are required. Plus, guests will receive free parking while at the water parks.

Dozens of trailers have arrived at Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park. It’s unclear as to what they are doing there or if they have anything to do with the construction taking place.

We observed trucks backing up to the trailers and hauling them away. Others arrived with trailers, parked them in the lot, then drove off.

Cast Members at Winter Summerland said the trailers began arriving in the lot about 2 weeks ago.

Blizzard Beach, one of two Disney World water parks has been closed since March of 2023. Disney has not provided many details on why the water park has been closed but large cranes have been spotted as well as a numerous work vehicles.

The Walt Disney World website does not list a reopening date for Blizzard Beach, other than it is “closed.” However, the Disney Parks website hints that it might reopen in late November.

“Currently, Typhoon Lagoon is the only water park open and there haven't been any announcements so far indicating when Blizzard Beach will open for the season.  Last year, it reopened after refurbishment in November, so that could be an indication of a general time we can hope for it to open this year.”

Typhoon Lagoon might be reopening for summer ‘21

While we don’t yet have an official reopening date for Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park, I have spotted some help wanted ads online where Disney is looking to hire college-program lifeguards.

According to the postings, college students are invited to, “Spend a summer by the pool and work as a lifeguard! Disney Water Parks-Typhoon Lagoon is hiring lifeguards to manage safety in and around the pool for our members and guests. “
