Get ready to make a splash because Walt Disney World Resort is turning up the fun this summer! In celebration of Blizzard Beach’s 30th anniversary, we’ve got some splash-tastic news – both of Walt Disney World Resort’s iconic water parks will be open from 21st May to 7th September. That means twice the thrills, twice the slides, and double the fun at Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach!

For the first time since 2019, all six Walt Disney World Resort parks – four theme parks and two water parks – will be open at the same time. Whether you prefer the tropical paradise of Typhoon Lagoon or the icy-cool adventures at Blizzard Beach, there’s no better time to dive into a Walt Disney World Resort summer.

Countdown to Splash-Tastic Fun

Before Blizzard Beach reopens for the summer, it’s taking a short break for a little “melt away” time. The park will temporarily close from 1st May to 20th May, so make sure to mark your calendars for its grand return!

And if that wasn’t exciting enough, there are even more ways to make your summer holiday unforgettable, with new shows, special deals, and limited-time entertainment across the parks.
