food IS a theme park
If you came to Disney World this week, we hope you packed for some strange weather!
Blizzard Beach
Over the weekend, Florida was hit with a powerful storm, which isn’t particularly common this time of year. Today, temperatures will reach the low 50s! Hopefully, you brought the proper rain gear and a way to stay warm, but if you packed a swimsuit intending to enjoy a water park this week, we have some bad news for you.
Florida may be the Sunshine State, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to plan for colder weather.

Winter is right around the corner and we are already starting to see lower temps affect the parks. On colder days, Disney will advertise more hot beverages, put warmer clothes on display, and even turn off certain water features like the spitting camel in Adventureland. Occasionally, the weather has an even bigger effect on the parks. Today, for instance, if you were hoping to visit Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, we have some bad news for you.
Get ready to splash into summer with a new Disney World ticket offer!
Surf’s Up Typhoon Lagoon!
Sometimes it’s hard to combat those hot summer days in the Walt Disney World parks, and it seems like you can’t get cool no matter what you try. With Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park closed for refurbishment right now, Disney has debuted a two-for-the-price-of-one ticket offer at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, but only certain people are eligible for the deal. Find out if you qualify! [Read more…]
You wouldn’t think mid-July is the time for holiday news but apparently, it IS.
Water Slides
Disney CRANKED OUT the holiday updates this morning and we’re making sure you’re TOTALLY in the loop. With BIG news like this year’s replacement of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and smaller but still exciting news like the return of Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar, we don’t want you missing out on ANYTHING. And, there’s more news to come that you can watch LIVE.
We recently returned to a Disney water park for the first time in over a year.
Blizzard Beach
Disney’s Blizzard Beach reopened earlier this month and has been providing watery thrill since then. Plenty of Disney guests have had the chance to sip on Frozen Black Cherry Lemonade and take on Summit Plummet. But if you’re headed to Blizzard Beach this Friday, you might want to change your plans.
Just last week we had a blast making a splash at the newly reopened Blizzard Beach water park!

As we’ve explored the grand reopening of Blizzard Beach, we’ve been sipping on the Black Cherry Frozen Lemonade, snacking on a Honey-Butter Chicken Sandwich, and even refilling our own Refillable Mugs in the park today.
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!
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!
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!
