Hi Victoria,
It’s great to see you here at planDisney with another question, this time all about your upcoming trip to
Walt Disney World in May. I love helping fellow Guests plan their perfect trips to Disney destinations around the world, and it is extra special when they are fellow Brits!
Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park will reopen on 15th February 2026, which will see
Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park close. The great news is that during
Cool Kid Summer, both Disney Water Parks will be open simultaneously from 26th May to 8th September. As UK Guests, we benefit from the
7 Day and 14 Day UK Magic Tickets. These offer fantastic value, as they include access to all four Disney Theme Parks with Park Hopper, as well as both Disney Water Parks, Mini Golf, Memory Maker, and more. Did you know that the 7 Day Ticket can be used non consecutively over 15 days, and the 14 Day Ticket over 18 days?
If you want to make your water park day even more special, I would definitely recommend looking into a Beachcomber Shack at Typhoon Lagoon or a Polar Patio at Blizzard Beach. They are a perfect central base, offering shade, comfortable seating, a locker, and cold water included. To book one of these, Guests from the UK need to give Walt Disney World a call. You can find the number by scrolling down to your chosen water park on the
Walt Disney World website. It is a UK phone number, so there will be no international call charges. These are booked on a first come, first served basis from 60 days in advance.
I hope this helps answer your question, Victoria, and that you have the BEST time visiting Walt Disney World. If you have any further questions about your trip, please
reach out to me. I'd love to help!
Kowabunga!
Matt
