Walt Disney World announces reopening of first water park
Guests at Walt Disney World Resort will be able to make a splash again from March 2021.
Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park will reopen on 7 March, Disney announced.
Blizzard Beach and the second water park Typhoon Lagoon have been closed since mid-March in response to the pandemic, and remained closed when Disney reopened theme parks in the summer.
No reopening date has been disclosed yet for Typhoon Lagoon.
"Like other areas of Walt Disney World Resort, we will welcome back guests and cast members to Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park in a responsible way, with a plan focused on health and well-being," Disney said in a website message.
Other water parks have opened in the Orlando area including Universal’s Volcano Bay and SeaWorld’s Aquatica.
Disney said it will share more details about the reopening and safety protocols nearer the time.
