    We will be arriving at WDW on Dec. 19th and can’t wait to hit the water park! Will both be open during this time of year or just one?

    Hi Hallie!

    Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with your question today about your upcoming Christmas trip to Walt Disney World. I love helping fellow Guests make the most of their Disney vacations, and you’re asking about one of my favourite topics – Water Parks! Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is one of my favourite places on earth. We even headed straight there after our Disney Springs wedding ceremony last year, guests in tow!

    It sounds like you are planning to make the most of the complimentary water park admission offer for all Guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel on check-in day. Just so you know, you’ll find this benefit listed under “Future Plans” in the My Disney Experience app.

    This summer, for the first time in a few years, both Disney’s Blizzard Beach and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon have been open at the same time, which has been brilliant. However, from 8th September 2025, Blizzard Beach will close for its annual refurbishment, and just one water park will stay open over the winter months. Disney hasn’t yet confirmed which one that will be on 19th December, but whichever is open, you're in for a great day – whether that’s racing down water slides, drifting along a lazy river, or chilling out on a sun lounger. Personally, I like to do all three (where toddlers allow!)

    To check which water park will be open on your arrival day, take a look at the Walt Disney World website around 60 days before your trip. That’s usually when the opening hours are updated.

    I hope this helps answer your question, Hallie, and that you have the BEST time at Walt Disney World this Christmas. If you have any further questions about your trip, please reach out to me. I'd love to help!

    See ya real soon,
    Matt
