Blizzard Beach Reopens as Typhoon Lagoon Takes a Break at Walt Disney World
It is snow joke, winter has officially returned to Central Florida. Disney’s Blizzard Beach has reopened at Walt Disney World Resort as of February 15, 2026, just as Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon heads into its seasonal refurbishment. If you have been craving chairlift views and a near-vertical plunge down Summit Plummet, now is your time to melt into the action.

Blizzard Beach is currently welcoming guests daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with hours subject to weather adjustments. The park’s reopening keeps at least one water park option available for guests looking to splash between park days, even while Typhoon Lagoon temporarily closes its gates. The tropical storms may be calming for now, but the snow-capped slopes are back in business.
The good news for summer planners is that this water park swap is only temporary. Typhoon Lagoon is expected to reopen in time for Cool Kids’ Summer, running May 26 through September 8, when both water parks will operate simultaneously. That window also marks the return of the free water park visit perk for Disney Resort hotel guests on their check-in day, making it a splashy way to kick off a vacation.

If you are eyeing the Disney Water Park Seasonal Pass, it remains valid at Blizzard Beach through May 9, 2026, with blockout dates from March 28 through April 5. The pass is priced at $89 for adults ages 10 and up and $83 for kids ages 3 to 9. It also includes one round of mini golf before 4 p.m. on any eligible day and 20 percent off same-day rentals of Polar Patios and Beachcomber Shacks. Not a bad way to float into spring.
For now, it is Team Snow versus Team Surf, and Blizzard Beach has the stage. Are you sliding down a snowy summit or waiting for the lagoon to make waves again?
