We have learned of various closures planned at Walt Disney World due to colder weather rolling through. According to their website, Walt Disney World is expecting to close Blizzard Beach Water Park on Thursday, January 10th and Friday, January 11th due to the cooler temps.  At this time the water park is currently set to reopen to guests on January 12th, 2019.  The temperatures have been forecast to be too cold to expect a large turnout for the water park attractions.  Typhoon Lagoon is already closed due to annual maintenance and refurbishment, so it is not impacted by this closure.  Currently, the Spirit of Aloha show at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is scheduled to cancel the 8:15 PM show on Thursday, January 10th only.

The water parks typically close when the temperatures are expected to be too low to be comfortable.  Many of the pools and some attractions are heated, but moving from attraction to attraction could be quite chilly.  Disney keeps guest safety in mind as well as the operational costs.  The cold weather decreases the likelihood of very many guests attempting to come to the water park, making it a huge waste of operational resources to staff the park  for low attendance.

As always, we will keep you posted about any changes we learn with the operational schedule and the weather forecasts that may impact your stay at Walt Disney World.

Who enjoys the cooler temps while at Walt Disney World?

 

 

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
