If you’re a Disney fan (or just love a good splash in the Florida sun), here’s some exciting news that might just make you start planning that summer trip — for the first time since 2019, both of Disney World’s water parks are opening together this summer. Yep, that means Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach will be welcoming guests, along with all the other magical spots in the Disney lineup.
Let that sink in — all six parks. That’s Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Blizzard Beach, and Typhoon Lagoon. It’s been a while since we’ve seen the whole crew back in action at the same time!
So, What’s the Deal With the Water Parks?
Here’s how it’s shaping up:
- Typhoon Lagoon is scheduled to open from May 21 to September 7. If you’ve never been, imagine a tropical paradise that got hit by a giant storm — in the most Disney way possible. Think shipwrecks, surfboards, and sandy paths. Oh, and don’t miss Crush ‘n’ Gusher (basically a rollercoaster on water) or Castaway Creek, the kind of lazy river that’ll have you floating in bliss for hours.
- Blizzard Beach, on the other hand, just celebrated its 30th anniversary on April 1! It’s currently open, though it’ll take a quick breather from May 1–20 before reopening for the summer rush. This one’s got more of a “winter-meets-waterpark” vibe — snow-capped peaks, ski lodge themes, and one of the wildest water slides around: Summit Plummet. It’s tall. It’s fast. It’s not for the faint of heart.
Oh, and for families (or Frozen fans), Blizzard Beach has stepped up its game with adorable Frozen-themed touches, like Anna and Elsa’s igloo and cute little Snowgie statues. My inner child is screaming.
Why This Is a Big Deal
Since 2019, Disney’s been alternating between the two water parks — one would be open while the other took a nap, thanks in part to the pandemic and other park priorities. But this summer? We’re going full throttle. It’s the first time in years that Disney is bringing back the complete experience.
That means whether you’re a thrill-seeker, a float-and-chill type, or just trying to entertain the kids without melting in the Florida heat, you’ve got options. And let’s be real — options are magical when it comes to Disney.
What’s Next for Disney?
In even bigger-picture news, Disney isn’t stopping with just water fun. They’re reportedly investing a massive $60 billion into their parks, experiences, and products division (yep, that’s billion with a “B”).
That includes expansions to Disney Cruise Line, and some seriously cool developments in the Florida parks. Think a Monsters, Inc.-themed land at Hollywood Studios, and possibly a whole Disney Villains land at Magic Kingdom. I mean, who wouldn’t want to explore a dark, magical corner of the park ruled by Maleficent or Ursula?
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to revisit Disney World — or maybe experience it for the first time — this summer might be your moment. With both water parks finally open together, along with all the other parks buzzing with excitement and new things on the horizon, it’s shaping up to be one of the most complete Disney experiences in years.
So pack your flip-flops, your mouse ears, and maybe a poncho (because Florida weather loves a good surprise shower) — the magic is back in full swing.
