Walt Disney World recently announced that a fan-favorite location in the park will reopen soon for the winter season. Fans of the beloved Blizzard Beach water park only have a few short weeks before they can enjoy the winter wonderland again!
Fans Love Blizzard Beach at Disney World
Blizzard Beach is one of the two water parks at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, and it’s a unique and popular destination for guests looking to cool off and have fun in the sun.
What sets Blizzard Beach apart is its fascinating backstory – it’s designed as a ski resort that melted into a water park after an unexpected snowstorm, giving it a whimsical and playful theme. This thematic immersion is part of what makes it so appealing to Disney visitors.
Blizzard Beach Attractions
One of the major draws of Blizzard Beach is its iconic water attractions. Summit Plummet, for instance, is one of the tallest and fastest freefall body slides in the world, providing an exhilarating thrill for adventure seekers.
The park also features a wave pool with a calm beach-like atmosphere, allowing guests to relax and soak up the sun. For families, there’s the Teamboat Springs, one of the world’s longest family raft rides, offering a shared experience that’s perfect for all ages.
The park’s creative theming, a mix of snow and water elements, transforms visitors into a winter wonderland despite the Florida heat. It’s a refreshing change. Fans welcome its return every winter season.
Blizzard Beach Reopening and Season Pass
Walt Disney World has announced that its Blizzard Beach water park will reopen on November 6, 2023. It will also come with some new experiences to entice guests to visit.
The theme park is offering a new Disney Water Park Seasonal Pass for the first time. For a one-time fee of $79 plus tax, visitors can head to Blizzard Beach as often as they like from purchase until May 24, 2024. Furthermore, this pass has no block-out dates or reservations required to attend the water park.
Typhoon Lagoon, Disney World’s second water park, will likely go down for refurbishment at some point during the season. This means Blizzard Beach will be the main option for the current Disney Water Park Seasonal Pass.

In addition to all the famous rides, Disney has also added Frozen-themed features to Tike’s Peak. Small Children can hang out with Olaf and the Snowgies while partaking in other Frozen fun!
Disney Water Parks in the News
Walt Disney World has been in the news due to a lawsuit regarding a serious “wedgie” injury a girl allegedly suffered on one of Typhoon Lagoon’s water slides. However, many guests love these vacation spots, and most have no issues while enjoying these attractions.
