Disney’s Blizzard Beach to Temporarily Close Due to Inclement Weather
In an unusual turn of events, Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park is set to close its doors on Saturday, December 16, 2023, as Central Florida braces for strong storms. The decision comes in the interest of visitor safety, with forecasts predicting 2 to 3 inches of widespread rain and peak wind gusts reaching 35 mph.

The closure is a precautionary measure to ensure the well-being of guests and staff as inclement weather sweeps across the region. Disney is known for its commitment to guest safety, and temporary closures due to weather conditions are a standard protocol to maintain a secure environment within its parks.
The closure announcement coincides with the annual refurbishment of Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park, which is already closed to visitors during this period. This unexpected closure of Blizzard Beach provides an unusual situation where both of Disney’s iconic water parks are simultaneously out of operation, creating a unique scenario for park enthusiasts.

Blizzard Beach, themed as a ski resort that melted into a water park, offers a thrilling array of water slides and attractions. Its closure on Saturday is expected to be a temporary setback, with the park likely to resume normal operations once the weather conditions improve and it is deemed safe for visitors.
Disney officials have expressed regret for any inconvenience caused by the closure but emphasize the importance of prioritizing the safety of guests and staff. Visitors who had plans to enjoy Blizzard Beach on December 16 are encouraged to check for updates on Disney’s official website or contact Disney Guest Services for information on potential rescheduling or refunds.
As Central Florida experiences the impact of adverse weather, Disney’s decision to close Blizzard Beach underscores the company’s dedication to providing a secure and enjoyable experience for its visitors. While weather-related closures are rare, they serve as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the elements and the importance of safety in the realm of theme park operations.
