Disney World to Close Blizzard Beach Indefinitely After Sept. 7

The decision ends a rare summer of dual water‑park operations, restoring the usual rotation with only Typhoon Lagoon open.

Overview

  • Disney says Sept. 7 will be the final day for Blizzard Beach, with operations ceasing Sept. 8 and no reopening date announced.
  • Typhoon Lagoon will remain available as the resort returns to its post‑pandemic practice of operating a single water park at a time.
  • From May 21 through Sept. 7, both water parks ran simultaneously for the first time since 2019, allowing guests to visit all six Disney World destinations in one trip.
  • Disney previously added a 2025 perk granting Resort hotel guests water‑park admission on their check‑in day, as outlined by the Disney Parks Blog.
  • The compressed dual‑park window coincided with Universal Orlando’s May 22 opening of Epic Universe, a development Disney leadership framed as complementary to its long‑term investments.
