Cold Snap Threatens Disney World Water‑Park Operations Next Weekend

Forecasters say a strong cold front will bring overnight lows near 47°F with gusty winds that could force temporary closures of outdoor water parks.

Overview

  • The National Weather Service and local forecasts show a strong front moving through late Thursday with the coldest air arriving for the weekend of Nov. 13–15 and nighttime lows near 47°F. Disney’s planDisney guidance and recent precedent warn that water parks and outdoor water attractions may be closed on notably chilly or windy days, creating a real risk of partial or full water‑park unavailability over the Nov. 13–15 weekend.
  • Gusty northwest winds with gusts into the 20–30 mph range will produce wind chills in the low‑to‑mid 40s, raising guest discomfort and the chance that rides such as Kali River Rapids and other outdoor water features are withheld for safety.
  • Visitors are advised to check the My Disney Experience app each morning and confirm availability with resort cast members, pack warm layers, and consider moving water‑park plans to earlier in the week when highs are forecast in the low 80s.
  • Separately, Disney has confirmed a scheduled water‑park lineup change with Blizzard Beach closing and Typhoon Lagoon reopening on January 27, 2027, while most Disney Resort hotel pools remain heated to about 82°F year‑round and may still be usable.
