Beloved Disney World Park to Remain Closed For Another Month – Here's Everything We Know

As warmer days return and hundreds of families continue to flock to The Most Magical Place on Earth, Disney has confirmed one key park will remain closed longer than previously expected.

According to Inside the Magic, the fan-favorite Disney water park, Typhoon Lagoon, will remain shuttered for 23 more days, with its new reopening date set for May 12, 2026.

As per the outlet, the hurricane-themed Disney water park originally closed back in February for routine seasonal refurbishments. Fortunately, as is common practice with Disney’s parks, when Typhoon Lagoon shut down, its sister property of Blizzard Beach promptly reopened that same day.

The oldest water park currently operating in Walt Disney World, Typhoon Lagoon first opened its doors way back the summer of 1989. Theming itself around a fictional typhoon that upended a luxurious tropical oasis, the park features a storm-swept water park environment that includes beached ships, fishing tackle and other beach-appropriate items thrown about the area.

As Inside the Magic reported, it currently seems that the park is experiencing some additional behind-the-scenes maintenance as part of its closure, rather than a major expansion or dramatic transformation for any of Typhoon Lagoon’s rides.

Until that time, the snow-swept heights of Blizzard Beach will remain open for guests to access, allowing visitors to escape the climbing temperatures of Florida in the earliest days of the summer.

Among the most popular and widely visited water parks in the world, Typhoon Lagoon currently has a number of slides, pools and other aquatic attractions throughout its sizable property.

At the heart of the park is Typhoon Lagoon’s famous Surf Pool, a large wave pool that conjures waves up to 6-feet tall. In addition, fans can also hop aboard equally well-loved attractions like the Crush ‘n’ Gusher water coaster, the Humunga Kowabunga speed slides or the Mayday Falls raft ride.
