Hi Heather,
Welcome to planDisney! I see you’re planning a Disney getaway, and mid-April is a perfect time to dive into all the fun at Walt Disney World’s
Water Parks. Whether you’re braving the waves at Typhoon Lagoon or sliding into thrills at Blizzard Beach, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. And here’s some excellent news: for 2025, Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel receive
complimentary water park admission on their check-in day. Duuuuuude, give me some fin!
Regarding your question about
Typhoon Lagoon’s availability by mid-April 2025, we can look at past trends for guidance while the official schedule hasn’t been released yet. Typically, Disney water parks alternate their annual refurbishments to ensure one is open while the other undergoes maintenance. Over the past few years, Typhoon Lagoon has reopened for spring, usually around March, following its winter closure. Although nothing is guaranteed, this pattern suggests it’s likely to be open for your trip. I recommend keeping an eye on the Walt Disney World Water Parks page, following the
Disney Parks Blog, or checking back with us closer to your travel dates for the most up-to-date information.
If Typhoon Lagoon is open, don’t miss a stop at the
Let’s Go Slurpin’ bar near the surf pool! I highly recommend trying the Piña CoLAVA or the Banana Cabana—both refreshing and fun choices. Over at
Blizzard Beach, if it’s open, check out the
Polar Pub, where the Grapefruit Margarita is always a good choice. For an elevated experience at either park, consider reserving a private cabana, part of the
Enchanting Extras Collection. They provide shade, personalized service, and a home base for your water park day, making it even more relaxing.
Thanks for stopping by planDisney, Heather! If you need help planning anything else for your vacation, from dining reservations to Lightning Lane strategies,
