Hi Frances! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm happy to hear that you're planning a holiday to the
Walt Disney World Resort next year! Before you know it, you'll be arriving for a magical stay filled with unforgettable experiences and lasting memories.
At this time, it is unknown which of the
two water parks will be open in April next year. With the exception of this past summer, only one water park has been operating at a time. I would expect this trend to continue until we hear otherwise. I would continue to follow along with the
Disney Parks Blog for the latest information regarding future park happenings.
Regardless of which park is open during your stay, you're bound to have a blast at either one. Each park does contain similar aspects, including thrilling attractions, a lazy river, and a wave pool. However, the theming is incredibly different, and the attractions will differ from each park. With Summitt Plummet headlining the thrills at
Blizzard Beach, the Crush 'n' Gusher at
Typhoon Lagoon gives you a chance to experience the thrills alongside another Guest.
Frances, while I wish I had a definitive answer, I promise you will have an amazing time regardless of the outcome. If you have any other Disney vacation planning questions that come your way,
feel free to stop back to planDisney at any time.
