Hi Ryan! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy! Your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort is fast approaching! Before you know it, you'll be arriving at the
Most Magical Place on Earth ready to start an amazing trip! With the theme parks getting all of the attention, Disney Water Parks can sometimes be overlooked. I'm happy that you may be incorporating a day or two at these locations.
There has not been an official announcement on a reopening date for
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park just yet. You can however enjoy
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park since it has reopened a few months back after its lengthy refurbishment. Even though the theming is vastly different at each park, they come packed with all levels of fun! Blizzard Beach may have one of the all-time thrill rides for a water park with Summit Plummet. It is a straight 12-story drop-down that will have even the biggest daredevil questioning whether they should ride it. But Typhoon Lagoon has one of the largest wave pools in the world! You can even sign up for surfing lessons while you are there! Each park also has a fantastic kids' play area if you happen to be traveling with little ones.
Since your visit is still a few months away, there is still a chance that Blizzard Beach is back up and running by then. I would continue to check the
Disney Parks Blog for any updates and announcements. If you are looking for any other fun outside of the four theme parks, check out the miniature golf courses that Walt Disney World has to offer.
Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Miniature Golf and
Winter Summerland Miniature Golf are both themed to perfection and are a great change of pace to your trip!
Ryan, I hope you have some pixie dust fly your way and both water parks are open for your enjoyment! Have a magical holiday!
See ya real soon!
