Walt Disney World Park Closed Today and Tomorrow Due to Weather Restrictions

Frequent visitors of Walt Disney World Resort are no strangers to the Sunshine State’s fickle weather. When it comes to Florida, it’s genuinely rain or shine at a moment’s notice, not to mention the mighty hurricanes that come traveling through the state every year (such as last year’s Hurricane Ian).

After all, who hasn’t gotten caught in a sudden rainstorm while visiting a theme park such as Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom?

That being said, during the winter, Florida residents and Guests visiting Walt Disney World Resort don’t have to worry about any hurricanes. However, they should keep an eye out for weather that quickly fluctuates between warm and chilly.

That’s why it comes as little surprise that Blizzard Beach, one of the Disney water Parks, will be closed today and tomorrow.

Last night, some slight showers slowly made their way through the cities of Central Florida, including Orlando. Although the weather in this region has been warm and pleasant recently, these small but mighty rainfalls have left a cold front in their wake.

According to the Weather Channel, Kissimmee’s temperatures are at a high of 67 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tomorrow (Friday, January 27th), the high will be 67 degrees again, and the low will be 48 degrees.

On Saturday (the 28th), Kissimmee will experience a high of 72, and Blizzard Beach is scheduled to reopen. As for the rest of the week, the warm weather will return once again, and the city will see highs in the 80s.

Soon enough, Guests will be able to experience the excitement of Summit Plummet (a water slide sending Guests down Mount Gushmore) the Runoff Rapids, and for the little ones, Tike’s Peak!

Although the water Park’s sudden closure can be frustrating, Walt Disney World Resort wants to keep each Guest as safe as possible. The Disney water Parks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, which is currently closed for refurbishment) experience short-notice closures more often than any other Disney Resort in Central Florida.

Conveniently, though, Blizzard Beach’s ticket policy is very lenient, and a Guest’s ticket won’t go to waste if the Park is closed due to weather restrictions. For more information about Blizzard Beach’s ticket policy, check out its official website.
