Walt Disney World Welcomes Back Blizzard Beach Water Park Today!

As the sun rises on a new day, we are delighted to welcome back Blizzard Beach Water Park to Walt Disney World.

Disney's Blizzard Beach has been closed since January 2022, and today, after extensive refurbishment, Blizzard Beach is finally back!

The reopening of Blizzard Beach has been a long time coming, but from today guests can once again experience one of the most uniquely-themed water parks in Florida.

Blizzard Beach will open from 10 am until 5 pm today, and will continue with theses hours until the end of the year.

During the water park's multi month closure, the frozen gang have moved in, with Disney adding cue new Frozen theming in the Tike’s Peak kids’ area, including statuettes of Olaf and his Snowgie pals in the warm wading pool, as well as Anna and Elsa and an igloo castle.

The kids can splash, slide and play in front of Anna and Elsa's icy igloo castle with "Frozen" characters like Olaf and his adorable friends, the Snowgies.

The water park, which features heated water throughout the park, will also have an enhanced holiday atmosphere.

This year there will be limited-time holiday offerings through Dec. 31 that include holiday-themed treats, snowfall and festive inner tubes. Guests can even meet a tropical-dressed Santa for the ultimate Florida holiday experience.

Popular attractions and features once again await guests, everything from slushy and slippery ski jumps to bobsled and toboggan runs to polar play spaces for every member of the family.

Blizzard Beach is home to some serious thrills and record-holding attractions.

Guests brave enough to tackle Summit Plummet — a 120-foot-tall, ski-jump-themed waterslide — can reach speeds of up to 65 mph. That's equal to the top speed on Epcot's Test Track!

Among the favorite attractions at Blizzard Beach:

Summit Plummet is one of the tallest, fastest freefall body slides around. The heart-pumping attraction plunges guests down Mount Gushmore in a near vertical drop and rockets them into a darkened tunnel. It’s an attraction made especially for thrill-seekers!

Teamboat Springs is one of the world’s longest group whitewater raft adventures, where up to six riders can take an epic and unpredictable whitewater journey down a mountain.

Toboggan Racers is a unique attraction where guests use a mat to compete in a thrilling race downhill on an eight-lane slalom-style waterslide.

Cross Country Creek is a scenic lazy river that takes guests on arctic adventure gliding through mysterious caves, illuminated grottoes and bask in Mount Gushmore’s refreshing spring water throughout polar paradise.

Runoff Rapids offers a choice of three distinctly different inner-tube waterslides, where guests twist and turn down an adrenaline-filled trip down Mount Gushmore.

The food and beverage options will also be a huge draw for guests again. The water park offers several spots where guests can chill out and try mouth-watering culinary creations, such as new Frozen-themed menu items. Returning popular sweet and savory snacks like the Earidescent Ice Dream Cone, 50th Ice Dream Sand Pail Sundae and Walt’s Chili Nachos can also be found at various dining locations throughout the water park.

Adults can complement their flavorful bites with chilling new beverage offerings like Orange Slope DOLE Whip Swirl at Warming Hut. There’s also a Red Slope Bloody Mary at Frostbite Freddy’s and a Melt-A-Way Margarita at Polar Pub.
