Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park Now Closed, Typhoon Lagoon Open Daily

Sep 08, 2025 in "Blizzard Beach"

Posted: Monday September 8, 2025 10:20am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park is now closed for its annual refurbishment.

The update on Disney's official website states:

"Disney's Blizzard Beach water park is currently unavailable. During this time, we encourage you to visit Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park."


Guests had their last chance to visit Blizzard Beach on Sunday, September 7, 2025, before the temporary closure began. Typhoon Lagoon will remain open daily as the only Disney water park in operation for the time being.

While past seasonal closures have typically rotated between Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, Disney has not yet shared a reopening date for Blizzard Beach or details on any refurbishment work planned during this downtime.

Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel will continue to receive complimentary water park admission on their check-in day. With Blizzard Beach closed, this perk now applies exclusively to Typhoon Lagoon.

This summer was the first time since 2019 that both Disney water parks operated together, with Blizzard Beach reopening May 21, 2025, to join Typhoon Lagoon. That dual operation continued through September 7, offering expanded capacity during the busy summer water park season.

Sadly the new DVC they are building next to the campsites is probably the first step.

I get the feeling Disney would love to do away with the campsites --probably don't generate enough revenue

I think you missed my meaning I know the campsites never close but the waterparks do

The majority of campsite guests weren’t utilizing this offer in the first place. Different demographic with different priorities than other WDW resort guests. Also the campsites don’t suffer from the same problem that inspired this offer originally. I’m not entirely sure how your vague solutions would solve the problem. Refunds at checkout? What?

Sucks to be you, Ft. Wilderness campers. You really are at the bottom of the Mickey, Goofy, Donald, Humphrey totem pole.

Except when hurricanes pass through

The campsites never close. Only the water parks close seasonally but the campsites are open year-round. ;)

Campsite guests are free to use the waterparks when they are closed ---sarcastic

Why? So actual FW customers can get the same perk everyone else does. It's not hard to identify ghost booking behaviors, nor is it extraordinarily difficult to systemize to eliminate the incentive. Give refunds at checkout.. Create minimum eligibility that makes it unattractive to do so.. lots of different ways you can make it less advantageous to abuse a perk in unintended ways.

I'm not advocating for forum users - I'm advocating for their actual paying guests they already have. The fact the company doesn't itself.. feels telling.

Why?

peter11435Apr 17, 2026

They could have but I’m sure it would not have made a difference. People here would have still complained if they singled out the campsites for a minimum number of nights.

mattpetoApr 17, 2026

I agree and thought the same thing, but probably more aggravation than it's worth.

Then they should have attached minimums to it vs excluding entire demos.
