food IS a theme park
We know when we’ll be sliding through a Disney World water park once again!

Back in September, Disney announced that neither Disney World water park would reopen until at least March 2021. Now, we know which water park will reopen on March 7th!
The Disney World water parks closed earlier along with the rest of Disney World. But now, even after much of Disney World has reopened, the water parks remain closed, at least until March 2021.

Several months ago, Disney sent an email to Annual Passholders about receiving a partial refund on their passes due to the water parks’ extended closure.
It’s no secret that Disney World is constantly changing.
Walt Disney World Resort
Between decor, new attractions, and construction, Disney continually adds magic to its parks. Since 2020 was a year full of closures and a worldwide pandemic, Disney has had to adapt and make changes. But, what are the biggest changes as we head into the year 2021? Let’s find out!
2020 sure has been a year, huh?

Honestly, we’re totally ready for it to be the NEW YEAR, which will bring plenty of exciting things to Walt Disney World.
The Disney World water parks closed alongside most of the resort back in March. Until today, they remain closed with no news of reopening.
Typhoon Lagoon
Now, Disney has announced that Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon will not reopen until at least March 7th — almost a full year of closure. Due to this fact, some Disney World Annual Passholders will be receiving partial refunds.
While the theme parks in Disney World are now open, both of Disney’s water parks — Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park — remain closed.

Now we’ve got an update from Disney in terms of when we’ll potentially be able to take a splash at those water parks again.
All four Disney World theme parks have now welcomed back guests, but some parts of the Resort still remain closed!
Typhoon Lagoon
In the initial phase of reopening, some Disney World attractions and experiences will remain unavailable. So, if you’re headed to Disney World in the near future, prepare yourself for the lack of parades, fireworks, select attractions, restaurants — and water parks! Both Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Disney’s Blizzard Beach are still closed, and Disney has yet to announce a planned reopening date for either park.
Though the Disney water parks remain closed, that hasn’t stopped Disney from working behind the scenes to enhance the experience at a water park!
Typhoon Lagoon
Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon both have some awesome tube slides, and the lines can get pretty long. Well, Disney’s new water slide BRAKE technology could mean shorter lines in the long run!
All of a sudden, we’re learning LOTS of new details regarding Disney World’s phased reopening plan!
Fantasia Mini Golf Course
Some of the news has been really exciting (a new Flower & Garden and Food & Wine Epcot festival mash-up!) and some not-so-good (Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party got canceled!). Disney also shared lots of information regarding the new reservation system.
There’s a LOT we know about Walt Disney World’s plans to reopen in the coming weeks, but there’s a lot we DON’T know yet.
Entering Walt Disney World Resort
