Blizzard Beach Water Park at Walt Disney World to Temporarily Close Due to Expected Cold Temps

Posted by: Christy Caby January 30, 2019

We have learned of various closures planned at Walt Disney World due to colder weather in the area. According to their website, Walt Disney World closed Blizzard Beach Water Park today, Wednesday, January 30th,  The water park is also currently scheduled to be closed on Thursday, January 31st.  At the time of this post, the water park is currently scheduled to reopen to guests on Friday, February 1st, 2019.  The temperatures have been forecast to be too cold to expect a large turnout for the water park attractions.  Typhoon Lagoon is already closed due to annual maintenance and refurbishment, so it is not impacted by this closure.  Currently, the Spirit of Aloha show at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is scheduled to remain open for the Thursday, January 31st shows.

The water parks typically close when the temperatures are expected to be too low to be comfortable.  Many of the pools and some attractions are heated, but moving from attraction to attraction could be quite chilly.  Disney keeps guest safety in mind as well as the operational costs.  The cold weather decreases the likelihood of very many guests attempting to come to the water park, making it a huge waste of operational resources to staff the park  for low attendance.

As always, we will keep you posted about any changes we learn with the operational schedule and the weather forecasts that may impact your stay at Walt Disney World.

Who out there actually likes the cooler temps when at Walt Disney World?

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
