Overview
- Forecasts calling for a Saturday cold front with 30–40% shower coverage and 25–35 mph gusts raise the risk of renewed weather holds on outdoor operations.
- Blizzard Beach, which Disney lists as reopening Saturday, March 28, 2026, could stay closed if lightning, strong wind, or cool air temperatures trigger safety rules.
- Disney shut Blizzard Beach on March 17 after a fast temperature drop of about 20 degrees during a week of storms with gusts reported up to 55 mph.
- With Typhoon Lagoon closed for refurbishment through mid-May, the resort has no backup water park when Blizzard Beach is offline.
- The water-park loss has shifted thousands into Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, where lines grew longer and indoor spaces filled as guests sought shelter and alternatives.
