Hi Cori, and thanks for splashing on over to planDisney! The water parks are the perfect mix of relaxation, fun, and Disney magic! It also makes a great rest day in between visits to the theme parks. Now, let’s talk about which water park will be open this Spring.
Currently, hours are listed for
Blizzard Beach through April 5th. Disney World hasn’t announced which water park will be open after that date, but typically the two water parks alternate their refurbishments so one is always open to welcome Mickey’s guests! In the past,
Typhoon Lagoon usually reopens in the Spring, so there’s a good chance that’s the water park that will be open in mid to late April.
I’ve also been wondering the same. I have a trip planned for that month and want to take advantage of the
free water park admission for Disney Resort hotel guests on check-in day! I’ve been keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog because that’s where Typhoon Lagoon’s reopening was announced last year in March. I'm hopeful that we'll hear more news very soon!
If Typhoon Lagoon is open in April, you’ll find me either lounging all day in the
Castaway Creek lazy river or drying off on the chairs with Green Matcha Tea Soft-serve from
Snack Shack! It’s one of the only spots at Disney World where you can find this ice cream flavor. When I’m looking for a bit more speed, I’ll head over to the family-friendly
Miss Adventure Falls raft ride. But if you’re more of a thrill seeker, you might like the
Crush ’n’ Gusher water coaster!
One last tip before I go… If you forget to bring a beach bag (or don’t have room in your luggage), I like to buy a reusable shopping bag from the gift shops. It makes for an affordable water-resistant bag that’s perfect for stowing all your swim gear!
I hope you have a magical day in the sun when you’re here in April! If you have any other questions, you’re always welcome back at planDisney.
