Disney’s Blizzard Beach Closing this Weekend Due to Cold Temperatures

Blizzard Beach Closure

Blizzard Beach will be closed this weekend due to cold creeping into Central Florida over the next few days. While it might be great for a snowman even Olaf is looking forward to the warmer weather. He loves warm hugs and summer!

The closure will last from January 13-15th with a planned re-opening of January 16th. It is a standard practice for Disney to issue closures for their waterparks during colder weather due to concern for guest safety and comfort.

New Theming Added

Disney’s Blizzard Beach originally opened on April 1 1995 and just recently underwent a partial retheming. Beloved characters from Disney’s popular Frozen movie were added throughout the already snowy-themed waterpark.

Blizzard Beach has several fun attractions for the youngest to the more daring.

Summit Plummet

Plunge 12 stories almost straight down, rocketing through a darkened tunnel and into a massive spray of whitewater after a 360-foot-long, high-speed descent. Hardcore thrill-seekers won’t want to miss this slide so steep, you can’t see where you’re going—until you’re there!

Discover a watery winter wonderland inspired by the Disney animated film Frozen—with scaled-down thrills to delight younger kids! Highlights include:

• Wading pools with whimsical depictions of Olaf, his Snowgie pals, and other familiar faces from Frozen
• Anna and Elsa’s igloo fortress—where kiddos can engage in playful battles with pop-up water jets
• Miniature snow-banked slides
• Side-by-side downhill slides
• A junior inner-tube ride
• Snow chutes

Runoff Rapids

Experience 3 times the thrills as you twist and turn your way 600 feet down the mountain.

Each slide offers a unique experience: 

• On the center slide, you’ll launch on a dark, fully enclosed trip to the bottom with pinpricks of light peeking through.
• On the 2 outer slides, you’ll zip over, around, and under the snaking coils of the center slide.

Disney’s Blizzard Beach is the perfect place to cool down while visiting the parks during the warmer months.

If you are visiting Walt Disney World this weekend and are disappointed by the colder weather don’t worry. Florida will be back in full operational mode with temps back in the 70s to 80s by Wednesday. Just the way Olaf likes it!
