Posted: Thursday January 23, 2025 4:15pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park will remain closed through Saturday, January 25, 2025, as cold weather persists in Central Florida with morning lows continuing to hover in the 30s.

The Blizzard Beach closure began on January 20 as cold and wet weather moved into the Walt Disney World theme park areas.

Blizzard Beach is now scheduled to reopen on Sunday, January 26, with operating hours from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Extended Closure Details:

  • Closed Through: Saturday, January 25
  • Reopening Date: Sunday, January 26
  • Operating Hours on January 26: 10:00 am to 5:00 pm

Reason for Extended Closure

Central Florida has experienced a prolonged cold snap, with temperatures well below average for this time of year. Morning lows remain in the 30s, making conditions unsuitable for water park activities.

Weather Outlook and Reopening Plans

The forecast for January 26 suggests a return to more seasonable temperatures, with highs reaching the mid-60s, providing a more comfortable environment for water parks.

    Great, I was planning on using the free perk on Thursday, hopefully since it’s supposed somewhat chilly it won’t be too busy?

    Blizzard Beach has reached a phased closure and is only accepting WDW resort guests at this time. The parking lot is also at capacity and guests are being redirected to park at DAK.
