Disney's Blizzard Beach water park will be closed on Thursday, November 21, and Friday, November 22, 2024, because of a cold front across Central Florida and the Walt Disney World area.

The forecast for November 21 shows a high of 70°F with a low of 51°F, while November 22 is expected to be even cooler, with a high of 66°F and a low of 45°F. These temperatures fall below the comfort range for water park operations, prompting the temporary closure.

Blizzard Beach is scheduled to reopen on November 23, weather permitting. Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park is already closed for its annual refurbishment.

I don’t think so, usually they wait until it’s colder when the average temp is colder. Usually mid 60s at the beginning/warmer part of the season and 60 degrees during the cold part of the season.

Right. You quoted me from last winter. This year should be warmer and drier in FL.

Is there a specific set temperature below which Disney always closes the water parks?
