Blizzard Beach Closing for Refurbishment as Typhoon Lagoon Reopens This Spring
As we head into the Spring season, Disney has updated its park calendar with a significant change for water park fans. Blizzard Beach Water Park is set to close for refurbishment on May 1—the same day Typhoon Lagoon is scheduled to reopen after its own refurbishment. While this operational swap has become the norm in recent years, many guests were hopeful both water parks would remain open together through the busy Spring and Summer seasons for the first time since before the pandemic.

This news is especially surprising given Disney’s recent announcement of a free Water Park visit on check-in day for guests staying at Disney Resort hotels. With this perk increasing traffic to the water parks, many expected Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon to operate simultaneously to accommodate the additional visitors. However, Disney has yet to provide a reopening date for Blizzard Beach, and the online calendar currently remains blank through August 27—the furthest date visible at this time.
Blizzard Beach’s upcoming closure follows the park’s 30th anniversary celebrations, which will be taking place throughout April. It now appears those festivities will serve as a send-off, with the park closing for refurbishment once the month concludes.

Since the pandemic, Disney has followed a pattern of alternating its two water parks rather than keeping both open at the same time. Blizzard Beach reopened in November 2024, which was the same month Typhoon Lagoon last closed, and this latest update continues that trend. While guests looking forward to Blizzard Beach will be disappointed, those eager to return to Typhoon Lagoon can mark their calendars for May 1 when the tropical-themed water park makes its grand return.
