Welcome back to planDisney, Heidi! It looks like you'll be diving into vacation mode in just a few more days, and making a splash at a
Disney Water Park is on your must-do list! I'm also a fan of the water parks; they combine thrills and chills and keep the fun going beyond the theme parks!
Heidi, at this time,
Blizzard Beach Water Park is operating daily (weather permitting) for guests to enjoy. In the event of inclement weather, including significantly low temperatures or heavy rainstorms including lightning, the park may close to guests if it is not safe or comfortable to operate. When this happens, guests will be notified on the
My Disney Experience mobile app and updates will usually be posted to the
Park Hours & Events Calendar online.
I noticed there were no hours posted for the park this weekend and confirmed with a Cast Member that, at this time, Blizzard Beach is closed tomorrow, January 4, and Sunday, January 5 due to expected low temperatures. Currently, the park is scheduled to reopen on Monday, January 6 from 10 AM to 5 PM, but keep an eye on the calendar for updates as the weather forecast predicts low temperatures in Orlando for most of next week.
Heidi, I hope this helps! It may not be the news you hoped to hear if you were looking forward to visiting Blizzard Beach, but there are some other fun extras outside of the theme parks that you can bundle up and enjoy instead! Some of my top picks are mini golf at
Winter Summerland, shopping and dining at
Disney Springs (and a boat ride over to
Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter for some Mickey-shaped beignets), and enjoying a
character dining experience at one of the Disney Resort hotels! No matter how you spend your day, I hope it is filled with magic and memories!
If you have any other questions, come back to
planDisney anytime and let us know! We're here to help you just keep swimming as you plan for your vacation!
See you real soon,
Alison
