Disney Keeps Typhoon Lagoon Closed Until May 12 as Blizzard Beach Stays Open

Overview

• Coverage published Sunday confirms Typhoon Lagoon will remain closed for 23 more days, with reopening set for May 12 after entering its annual maintenance rotation in February.
• Blizzard Beach reopened February 15 following its own refurb cycle last fall, keeping at least one Walt Disney World water park available while Typhoon Lagoon is serviced.
• Disney’s Facility Asset Management filed the permit for Typhoon Lagoon’s work and contractor Bo-Mar Scenic & Design is handling general construction, signaling infrastructure and cosmetic fixes rather than new attractions.
• For arrivals from May 26 to September 8, Disney Resort hotel guests get free water park entry on check-in day, excluding Fort Wilderness campsites, with access to either Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach.
• Water parks need seasonal downtime because constant water, chemicals, and high-stress slide structures strain filtration systems and surfaces, so the rotation helps the parks run reliably through the summer.
