Disney’s Blizzard Beach is no longer listed as operating on Friday, Nov. 13, and Saturday, Nov. 14, leaving Walt Disney World without an open water park for those two days.
According to operating-calendar changes reported by Disney Fanatic, Blizzard Beach had previously been scheduled to welcome guests from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both dates. Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is already closed for seasonal refurbishment, so it will not provide an alternative.
Disney has not given a specific reason for the Blizzard Beach schedule change. The dates coincide with a colder Central Florida forecast: highs near 71 degrees Friday and 67 degrees Saturday, with overnight temperatures potentially near 49 degrees. Disney notes that its water parks may close because of inclement weather and that schedules and attraction availability can change.
Blizzard Beach is currently expected to resume operations Sunday, Nov. 15, when the forecast calls for temperatures near 74 degrees. Guests with water park plans should check Disney’s official operating calendar and confirm any ticket options directly with Disney rather than assume admission will be transferred, refunded or moved to another day.

Disney has not announced closures at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios or Disney’s Animal Kingdom tied to the cold front. At Animal Kingdom, Kali River Rapids is one attraction visitors may want to monitor; Disney’s vacation-planning guidance says the water ride can close in colder weather, but no closure has been announced for Nov. 13 or 14.
