Disney Extends Blizzard Beach Closure, Leaving No Water Parks Open This Weekend

A cold front and Typhoon Lagoon’s seasonal shutdown prompted the move, and Disney says a weather-dependent reopening is planned for Monday.

Overview

  • Disney updated its operating calendar Friday to add Sunday, November 15, to Blizzard Beach’s closure, expanding an initially two-day shutdown to cover the full weekend.
  • Typhoon Lagoon has been closed for seasonal work since September 9, so the extended Blizzard Beach closure leaves no Walt Disney World water parks available through Sunday.
  • Forecasters reported a cold front with overnight lows near the 40s and gusty northwest winds, conditions that Disney cited as the reason swimming and water attractions would be uncomfortable.
  • Disney currently lists a possible reopening for Blizzard Beach on Monday, November 16, but says the plan is weather permitting and urges guests to check the official calendar or My Disney Experience for changes.
  • Other theme parks at the resort are expected to run normal schedules, so visitors should shift plans to indoor or dry attractions, bring warm layers, and prepare for itinerary changes.
