food IS a theme park
Hey, DFB Friends! In case you missed the big news, Disney World’s Blizzard Beach reopened today after about a year of being closed!
FOOOOOOOOODDDD!
We were there LIVE, checking out some of the fun water slides, relaxing on a tube while floating down a lazy river, checking out the refillable beverage situation (it’s different here than we’ve seen in the parks), and munching on some water park food!
We’re back in Blizzard Beach during the water park’s reopening today! We’ve shared a look at some of the modified health and safety measures in place, as well as a few surprises along the way!
Ski Lifts
We’ve been splashing around in the Lazy River and taking a ride on the water slides in the park today. But, we couldn’t resist indulging in a few treats while we were there!
In case you missed it, we’ve been LIVE at the reopening of Blizzard Beach all day!
Eating at the Warming Hut!
Although we had some fun on the water slides, we also checked out some new menus, and learned about refillable beverages at the water park. All that running around made us hungry, and we gotta’ eat!
Blizzard Beach has officially reopened!
Blizzard Beach
It is the first water park to reopen at Disney World and is operating under a variety of health and safety guidelines, much like the theme parks. This includes reduced capacity, temperature screenings, physical distancing markings, and face coverings. The face mask policy is a little different than we’ve experienced in the parks, so we headed over to experience it for ourselves!
The day has FINALLY come for Blizzard Beach to reopen at Disney World, and in spite of the temperature, you better believe we’re at the water park all day, taking in the sights, the sounds, and the new flavors!

As we were walking around the park for the first time in a long time, we noticed there were refillable mugs! But there was something a bit different about this refillable mug process compared to what we’ve seen since Disney World’s initial reopening.

It’s been almost an ENTIRE YEAR since Walt Disney World initially shut down due to the global health crisis, and though the resort’s four theme parks reopened back in July, the two water parks, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, have remained closed.
Welcome back!
That all changes TODAY! It’s March 7th, which means Blizzard Beach has OFFICIALLY reopened!
When you think of relaxing and Disney, you may think of listening to the music on Main Street, U.S.A. or people watching on Sunset Boulevard.

But one of the last sounds that we would think of is the noise of a water park! However, Disney just released a video of the soothing sounds from Blizzard Beach ahead of its reopening on March 7th.
The day for Blizzard Beach to FINALLY reopen at Disney World is almost here, and by the looks of the forecast, the water park could live up to its name!

March 7th marks the official return of Blizzard Beach, and with projected temperatures in the 50s and low 60s, things could get pretty chilly.
Even though we were convinced that 2020 would last forever, we’re now three months into 2021!
