Is there a specific set temperature below which Disney always closes the water parks?

That might be true. I haven’t visited many other waterparks, but I do visit the Disney water parks a couple times a month. The temperatures vary greatly from day to day, but water rarely feels cold to me. At the Boardwalk tonight, though a resort and not the waterparks, the water was definitely 80° or so. The pools had significant steam coming off of them. The lighting didn’t allow me to get a photo of the actual pool, but the slide had a similar amount of steam as the pool. The waterparks heat seems to vary depending on: 1. If the heater is broken (TL breaks down a lot for the wave pool) 2. Expected crowds (Heating is pretty expensive for that much water) 3. Who is/was working
