Hi Karine,
December in Florida is a glorious getaway! I am so excited that you are soon to be enjoying the wonderful weather, sunny skies, and the most magical season at Walt Disney World Resort. It will be here before you know it.
As you know, Guests have been enjoying one Disney water park per season for a few years now. Currently, the surf is up at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. (As our pal Crush would say, "Totally awesome, Duuuuude!") The current calendar displays opening dates through October 13, 2024, without any hints about whether we should plan to float down
Cross Country Creek or
Castaway Creek this December. We do know that, historically, the open water park has switched in the fall and spring.
I wish I had a better answer for you, Karine! In the meantime, please join me in watching out for an announcement on Disney Parks Blog or right here at planDisney about future water park opening dates.
On the bright side, you will be visiting Walt Disney World Resort during a very special season. Be sure to set aside some time to enjoy the festive offerings like the
Christmas Tree Stroll at Disney Springs,
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, or the newest celebration,
Disney Jollywood Nights. (I am so excited for this!) We love to check out the
Gingerbread Displays at select Walt Disney World Resort locations. You can't beat the aroma! It MUST be Christmas!
You will be splish-splashing the day away so soon, Karine. I hope that you have perfect weather and make millions of magical memories that you will treasure for years to come.
Adventure is out there,
Sally
