Typhoon Lagoon is officially OPEN! The Disney World water park has been closed since November 2024, but if you have patiently waited to ride down Miss Adventure Falls or Crush ‘n’ Gusher, your time has finally come.

Typhoon Lagoon is open!

Typhoon Lagoon has reopened as of May 1st, 2025, and while Blizzard Beach has now closed for a short refurb, we have some exciting news. Beginning May 21st, BOTH Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach will be open for the summer. Now you will have to choose which water park you want to go to! We still have a few weeks until that happens, but we are at Typhoon Lagoon for its grand reopening.

Typhoon Lagoon is one of two water parks at Disney World. We were there first thing this morning for its opening, and so were lots of other people! There were some pretty big crowds around opening, but they quickly dispersed once the park opened.

Waiting to go inside!

Cast Members even wrote an adorable “Welcome Back!” message by Lagoona Gator. They even drew a palm tree and a sun! We thought it was so cute.

We love it!

Stitch was even out to welcome everyone back to Typhoon Lagoon! He was looking sharp in his lei, and you know it is going to be a good day when it starts out with a Stitch spotting.

People didn’t waste anytime to take advantage of the cool water! Typhoon Lagoon offers a variety of attractions including Gangplank Falls, Humunga Kowabunga, Mayday Falls, Storm Slides, and more. You can also head to the Surf Pool or float your way down Castaway Creek. You can also grab a chair by the water and enjoy a bit of relaxation.

All of the fun in the sun and hanging out in the water is definitely going to strike up an appetite. Luckily Typhoon Lagoon has a variety of food options. Of course, we are checking out LOTS of food including the Dole Whip Bathtub Sundae from Snack Shack, a Barbecue Chicken Wrap from Lowtide Lou’s, and a Captain’s Mai Tai from Hammerhead Fred’s Bait Shop.

There is lots to explore at Typhoon Lagoon and it can be a great option for a relaxing day by the water. Those hot days don’t seem quite as bad when you can hop into some cool water. Plus, if you are staying at a Disney World hotel you can take advantage of a FREE ticket to a Disney World water park. On your check-in day, each person on your reservation will receive a free ticket to one of Disney World’s water parks. The ticket can only be used on your check-in day though, so make sure you take advantage! Typhoon Lagoon is open now, and Blizzard Beach will be opening again on May 21st.
