Guests hoping to splash into the action at Walt Disney World Resort next week are going to want to double-check their plans. Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park is temporarily closing due to an incoming wave of colder weather in Central Florida.
According to the latest update, Blizzard Beach will not operate on Monday, February 23, or Tuesday, February 24, 2026.
Florida may be known for sunshine, but winter cold fronts still sweep through the region. And when they do, outdoor attractions like water slides and wave pools can quickly become less appealing for guests and more difficult for cast members to manage safely.
Local meteorologists are already tracking the shift. “A strong cold front, currently draped across Central Texas, is expected to approach Central Florida by Sunday morning,” said Click Orlando.
“While some spotty showers and downpours are likely, especially after 7am, rainfall totals are forecast to stay under a quarter of an inch for most areas. Most of this rain looks to head toward southern counties like Osceola and Brevard.”
Blizzard Beach is expected to reopen on Wednesday, February 25, once conditions improve.
