Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is scheduled to reopen January 27, 2027, the same day Blizzard Beach closes for refurbishment. Blizzard Beach is currently Walt Disney World’s only operating water park, and the switch keeps one park on the schedule.
We’re glad to have a date for Typhoon Lagoon’s return. The shipwrecked tropical park has been closed since September, and January 27 is when the winter water-park day finally trades Blizzard Beach’s ski slope for Typhoon Lagoon’s surf.
One wave pool in, one ski slope out
Blizzard Beach is the scheduled option through January 26. Starting January 27, it’s Typhoon Lagoon. Disney had both parks open at the same time in summer 2026, so we’d circle the January handoff if you’re counting on a particular park this winter. Disney hasn’t given a return date for Blizzard Beach.
We’d check Disney’s water-park hours close to the visit. A January cold spell can shorten hours or close the park for the day, even when the refurbishment calendar says it’s the one in season.
