Summer time is arguably one of the best times of the year to visit Disney World’s two water parks — Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.
Typhoon Lagoon
This is only the second summer in recent Disney World history where both water parks have been open at the same time. In years past, only one has been open while the other underwent refurbishment, potentially due in part to a lack of demand. Now, however, thanks to the hot weather and Disney World hotel perk that gets guests free admission to one of the water parks on their check-in day, the water parks have been BUSY. Summer does have to come to an end at some point, though, and Disney is already preparing, as they’ve just announced when Typhoon Lagoon will close for the season.
It’s officially been announced that Typhoon Lagoon will close for its yearly refurbishment on September 9th. Guests will be able to enjoy Blizzard Beach during the closure, and it’s expected that when Typhoon Lagoon reopens in the following months, Blizzard Beach will then close for its refurbishment. That way, come spring and summer of 2027, both water parks will be open again.
Typhoon Lagoon
Both water parks are popular for different reasons — Typhoon Lagoon is home to a lazy river and wave pool, and the vibes are more chill, whereas Blizzard Beach is home to some more intense water slides and may be a better fit for thrill seekers. Either way, if you’ll be staying at a Disney World hotel and have any interest in checking either of the parks out, we highly recommend taking advantage of that free check-in day deal — it’s not often you get anything for free in Disney World, so that’s a real score.
