BREAKING: Disney World Confirms Water Park Closing Down This Fall

Wait 5 sec.

If you’ve been soaking up the Florida sun and enjoying all the summer perks at Walt Disney World, you may want to keep a close eye on your plans moving forward.The theme parks are famous for their surprises—some magical, others, not so much. And this latest development is one that could catch some guests off guard.For the first time in years, both of Disney’s water parks have been operating at the same time, creating a rare window where guests could bounce between Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. But that window is about to close—and sooner than many expected.Credit: DisneyAccording to Disney’s official operating calendar, one of those two beloved water parks will be shutting down this fall, with the last day of operation scheduled for Sunday, September 7, 2025.Beginning Monday, September 8, the water park will be completely closed, with no operating hours listed at all through the end of November. And while Disney hasn’t confirmed the exact reason yet, all signs point to a routine seasonal closure.The water park affected? It’s Blizzard Beach.Yes, the frosty, ski resort-themed favorite is going back into hibernation just as the summer season wraps up. While this isn’t out of the ordinary—Disney typically rotates its water parks for refurbishment—what’s interesting is that Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon only just started running at the same time again earlier this year, something that hadn’t happened since 2019.Credit: DisneyWhat Is Next for Disney World’s Water ParksNow, the return to a one-park schedule might be signaling that Disney is reverting to its pre-pandemic water park operations.As of now, Typhoon Lagoon is still expected to remain open and, if the refurbishment takes place anything like it has been, Blizzard Beach will likely reopen around the end of this year or early 2026, and Typhoon Lagoon will undergo its refurbishment after that.And while this change might not wreck your entire Disney vacation, it could impact those hoping to visit both water parks on a single trip. For resort guests, it’s worth remembering that Disney is still offering complimentary water park admission on check-in day in 2025, which might soften the blow for those missing out on Blizzard Beach.Until Disney makes an official announcement, this remains a quiet update tucked into the resort’s online calendar. But if you were planning to race down Summit Plummet this fall, you’ll want to move those plans up—because Blizzard Beach is going offline starting September 8.Stay tuned for updates and keep an eye on the calendar—because when it comes to Disney, even the smallest changes can make a big splash.The post BREAKING: Disney World Confirms Water Park Closing Down This Fall appeared first on Inside the Magic.
