Disney plans to reopen Typhoon Lagoon on January 27, 2027, the same day Blizzard Beach begins a refurbishment closure. For a winter trip, choose your water-park day before choosing the park. A ticket covering Disney’s water parks does not mean both will be operating.
Which park fits your dates?
- Through January 26: Disney’s seasonal-pass page lists Blizzard Beach as the operating park. Typhoon Lagoon is currently closed for refurbishment.
- From January 27: Typhoon Lagoon is scheduled to reopen, while Blizzard Beach temporarily closes. Disney’s Blizzard Beach notice does not give a reopening date.
Check the notices on the Typhoon Lagoon page and Blizzard Beach page for your visit. Weather, capacity and refurbishment can affect operations, so keep an alternative plan for the day.
The seasonal pass has its own calendar
The advertised Disney Water Park Seasonal Pass costs $89 plus tax for ages 10 and up, or $83 plus tax for ages 3–9. It is valid through May 15, 2027, but excludes February 19–21 and March 20–28, 2027. It admits the holder to whichever of the two water parks is open.
Passes are nonrefundable and nontransferable, and the same person must use the pass on every visit. Disney currently says water-park reservations are not required, but that policy can change. Read the current pass terms before buying.
Count the visits you will actually make
Put your likely swim dates on the calendar and cross out the blockouts. Then compare the total with the admission you already have and any one-day ticket you are considering. Do not count a second visit simply because a pass makes it possible.
If your trip spans January 27, the change could let you plan around different parks on different days. That is an itinerary option, not a promise that the weather or operating schedule will cooperate. Leave room to swap a swim day with another activity.
Before you go: check the exact park’s hours, confirm your admission covers that date, and keep the plan flexible. Disney’s November 5 announcement explains the planned transition.
