Overview
- Disney confirmed a full multi-day closure of Typhoon Lagoon over the New Year due to a significant push of Arctic air across Central Florida.
- Forecasts cited lows in the 30s and 40s for Orlando, and officials shared cold-weather guidance urging guests to dress warmly.
- The official Walt Disney World calendar lists Typhoon Lagoon reopening on January 2 with operating hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Blizzard Beach remains closed for seasonal refurbishment, leaving both Disney water parks unavailable during the cold spell.
- With the water park closed, guests shifted to the four theme parks, driving up holiday crowds and pushing some waits, including EPCOT’s Cosmic Rewind, to nearly four hours on New Year’s Eve.
