Hi Lynsey and welcome to planDisney!
It always makes me super happy to be able to assist a fellow Brit with the planning of a trip to my favourite holiday destination -
Walt Disney World!
There is no better way to cool off from the Florida sunshine than by spending the day splashing around at one of the
Water Parks. As it looks like you'll be visiting in just a few short weeks, Lynsey, let's dive right into answering your question.
I just checked the
Park Hours on the Walt Disney World website for late March/early April and currently,
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park is showing as open from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM for dates up to and including
5th April.
At this moment in time, neither Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park nor
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park are showing operating hours beyond 5th April.
In recent years, the Water Parks have opened on a rotating basis with only one open at any given time. You typically find that when one Water Park closes, the other opens the very next day and the switch-over tends to be made around the end of March.
It looks to me as though a closing date for Blizzard Beach/opening date for Typhoon Lagoon has not been decided on yet, hence there being no operating hours available for either.
My best advice would be to keep checking the Park Hours section of the Walt Disney World website to see if operating hours have been published for the dates of your visit. I would also suggest that you stay tuned to the
Disney Parks Blog as this is where any such announcements are likely to be made.
I'm sorry that I couldn't give you a definite answer, Lynsey, but don't think we'll be waiting too much longer to find out which Water Park will be open during your stay.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
Emma
