Disney has today announced that its Typhoon Lagoon water park will reopen to guests on March 19 2023.

The Walt Disney World water park has been closed for its seasonal refurbishment over the winter months, leaving Blizzard Beach as the only operating water park. With the opening of Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach will close beginning March 19.

To celebrate the reopening, Typhoon Lagoon is offering some new treats. New additions include fruity new DOLE Whip flavors like watermelon, mango, pineapple, strawberry and raspberry available at Snack Shack; a Pineapple Upside Down Cone at Happy Landings; and a Barbeque Chicken and Grilled Pineapple Flatbread at Leaning Palms.

Plenty of traditional favorites will be available, too, such as the Moana and Hei Hei Ice Cream Cone and the iconic Sand Pail Sundae as well as savory snacks like Hand Battered Fish Tacos and Fish and Chips.

Among the new alcoholic drink offerings are the Kungaloosh Kooler, the Crush ‘N’ Gushed Red and White Sangrias and the Mayday Mojito Flight.

H2O Glow After Hours will also get started from May 20 on select nights through September 2. The glowing party allows guests to enjoy their favorite attractions under the stars for three hours (8-11 p.m.) after the water park closes to daytime guests, giving everyone easier access to their favorite Typhoon Lagoon thrills. Tickets go on sale March 3 for the limited-capacity event on the Walt Disney World Resort website.

The Typhoon Lagoon reopening date has been pushed one more day to Tuesday, March 21, due to low temperatures.

DCBakerMar 17, 2023

According to the Walt Disney World website, it appears the Typhoon Lagoon reopening on Sunday, March 19th may be delayed. The hours have been removed as the weather forecast for Sunday is unfavorable. Hours are currently still shown for Monday.

I would say the vast majority of people do not view the water parks as full-on theme parks. I know that Universal has marketed Volcano Bay as their third "park", since opening, but on the other hand Disney has never marketed their water parks as "theme parks".

Indeed not happy both won’t be open for my April trip.

Also makes the waterpark add on ticket less attractive.

Just realized that the gap between Universal and Disney will be greatly diminished in 2025 if they keep rotating which water park is open. 5 WDW Parks to Universal's 4.

Scott Gustin reporting Disney states BB will close for refurb starting 3/19...I really hope they are both open this summer.

Of note BB doesn’t have hours after this date yet either.
