NEWS: Blizzard Beach Reopening DATE Announced for Disney World!

The Florida heat can be brutal sometimes, even in months that aren’t typically considered the usual time for warm weather. And, on those days, is there anything better than a dip in the wave pool or a trip down Summit Plummet?

Blizzard Beach

Yep, we’re talking about one of Disney World’s water parks — Blizzard Beach! The park has been closed for refurbishment since January 1st of this year, with only Typhoon Lagoon in operation. But now, Disney has finally shared when Blizzard Beach will be reopening!

Blizzard Beach will be reopening on November 13th, 2022 so we’ll be able to hit the slopes at this water park again soon!

And, there will be some NEW things at the water park! The kids area has received a Frozen makeover, and there will be some new Frozen food offerings, as well as some new beverages for the adults to sip on. The new Orange Slope DOLE Whip Swirl will be at Warming Hut and the new Red Slope Bloody Mary will be at Frostbite Freddy’s, while you can find the new Melt-A-Way Margarita at Polar Pub. There will also be brand new Cajun Shrimp and Grits as well as a Watta-Melon Passion Lemonade from Lottawatta Lodge.
