Which Disney water park is open April 2023?

We assume only one water park will be open at a time going forward. Blizzard Beach was open for the holidays in 2022 and 2023, a trend we expect to continue. We expect Typhoon Lagoon to be open from mid-March to early November. We expect Blizzard Beach to be open from early November to mid-March.



In April 2023, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon was the only Disney water park open to guests. Since late 2021, Walt Disney World has followed a operational pattern where they only operate one of their two water parks at a time, allowing the other to undergo seasonal refurbishment. In the specific rotation for 2023, Disney's Blizzard Beach closed for maintenance on March 19, 2023, and Typhoon Lagoon reopened on that same day. Therefore, throughout the entire month of April 2023, visitors seeking aquatic thrills would have headed to Typhoon Lagoon to enjoy its massive surf pool and the "Crush 'n' Gusher" water coaster. This rotation continued until November 2023, when the parks switched again. For travelers in 2026, it is still common for Disney to alternate these parks, so checking the official "Know Before You Go" calendar is essential, as there is rarely a time—except during rare heatwaves or peak capacity events—when both Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon are open to the public simultaneously.
