Cold Snap at Walt Disney World Shuts Down Blizzard Beach Water Park

Posted: Thursday November 21, 2024 7:03am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney's Blizzard Beach water park will be closed on Thursday, November 21, and Friday, November 22, 2024, because of a cold front across Central Florida and the Walt Disney World area.

The forecast for November 21 shows a high of 70°F with a low of 51°F, while November 22 is expected to be even cooler, with a high of 66°F and a low of 45°F. These temperatures fall below the comfort range for water park operations, prompting the temporary closure.

Blizzard Beach is scheduled to reopen on November 23, weather permitting. Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park is already closed for its annual refurbishment.

They could call it “Jollywood Nights, but without the rides!”

So much of a lost opportunity to have a themed hard-ticket event to take advantage of the blizzard theming and actual frigid conditions. Just get the extra hot chocolate and cookies from the Christmas party, add an exclusive limited time popcorn bucket, and some $30 cupcakes, then slap a $200 per person price tag on it, and they'll practically be printing money!

Blizzard Beach, Aquatica, and Volcano Bay remain closed today as well.

If there was any chance Orlando would get snow, none of the local weathermen would shut up about it. I haven't seen anything on any of the network affiliates here that was suggest it's likely or even possible.

I don’t think so, usually they wait until it’s colder when the average temp is colder. Usually mid 60s at the beginning/warmer part of the season and 60 degrees during the cold part of the season.

Right. You quoted me from last winter. This year should be warmer and drier in FL.

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