Posted: Thursday May 1, 2025 9:15am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Typhoon Lagoon Water Park is officially open today, May 1 2025, with operating hours from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. The reopening comes as Blizzard Beach closes temporarily for a short refurbishment through May 20.

Typhoon Lagoon reopens today at Walt Disney World

During this time, Disney’s complimentary water park admission on resort hotel check-in day will shift from Blizzard Beach to Typhoon Lagoon. Guests staying at a Disney Resort can continue to use this benefit for a full splash-filled day as part of their arrival experience.

Blizzard Beach is scheduled to return on May 21 2025, with both water parks open through September 7—a first since 2019. This expanded schedule will help better manage crowds and offer more flexibility to guests during the peak season.

Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park Closing February 15, Both Parks Open for Summer 2026 https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/typhoon-lagoon/news/10feb2026-disneys-typhoon-lagoon-water-park-closing-february-15,-both-parks-open-for-summer-2026.htm

And all three were open at once believe it or not.

There was never a period where TL was the “only” water park. Before BB, River Country was still open. In fact all three parks existed at once for a few years.

For sure, if you only go three times a year and it takes away from your theme park day, it doesn’t make sense to purchase the water park add on. Unless you absolutely love mini golf or something! Selfishly I am happy that the perk will not be in place over spring break so that I can actually use my AP at the waterparks. I know that it is controversial, especially on this forum, but Disney seems to rarely make changes to improve the AP experience, and this is a significant improvement for us (though I do wish both parks were open for longer of course).

Well I don’t travel to WDW during that time. If it truely is only Memorial Day-Labor Day both parks are open looks like I’m going to save $109 on my next AP purchase. I don’t think $36 a visit is worth it, especially since this comes at the expense of theme park time, I’ll just stick to the theme parks. I miss when both parks were open spring break-Halloween. If they brought that back I would upgrade ($18 a day is much more palatable.)

All true except just due to weather, even though the theme parks are not as busy in summer as they used to be, there is still higher demand for the water parks in June July and August then Feb March and April.

A "perk" for 3.5 months out of a possible 12 months. Ridiculous. And both water parks are now open all summer??! Isn't the summer season the new slowest season? Let’s get both water parks open for Feb, March, April, you know when the parks are packed. Or again in Oct, Nov. Both time periods with heavy crowds and nice weather.

DisoneJan 05, 2026

Have they officially announced when typhoon reopens after closing in Feb? If not I think we can assume right on or immediately around may 26th.

Disney has announced dates in 2026 for the water park admission perk on check-in day - May 26 to September 8, 2026: Start your stay with a water park day! Disney Resorts Collection hotel Guests can enjoy water park admission on check-in day—included with your stay—for arrivals from May 26 to September 8, 2026.

No, probably not. Possible, but not likely unfortunately. Hopefully they announce the exact dates soon, but I think they’re waiting to see when both parks can be open simultaneously again.
