Typhoon Lagoon Reopening This Week at Disney World

Disney4me · 2025-05-01T13:00:04Z

Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park swings open its gates this Thursday, May 1, inviting guests into a tropical world that offers waves of family fun.

It’s a must-do on your list of things to experience during your Walt Disney World Resort visit because there’s something to excite everyone in the family.

Thrill-seekers can get a rush from fast-paced water attractions like Crush ‘n’ Gusher, Miss Adventure Falls and Humunga Kowabunga, while kids can spend the day splashing around in the relaxing surf pool and taking in the tropical scenery as they drift down Castaway Creek lazy river. The littlest of tots will love Ketchakiddee Creek with its shallow pools and mini waterslides.

There are plenty of ways to have a splash-tastic time out of the water. That zany character, Stitch, will often be roaming around, so be sure to snap a few selfies to show your friends. Stay cool with an assortment of fruity and tropical drinks available around the park and savor some of the best cuisine you’ll find at any water park. Some of my favorites are the barbecue chicken flatbread, the chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches and the Waterparks Sand Pail Sundae.

H2O Glow After Hours Lights Up the Night Again

H2O Glow After Hours is back starting May 23 through Sept. 13. The watery fun-under-the-sun will soon extend into the night this summer.

Neon nights transform the park into a high-energy, glow-in-the-dark experience with DJ dance parties, Disney character meet & greets and complimentary snacks.

Here’s one of the best parts: Kids get into H2O Glow After Hours for only $42.50, half the adult price of $85! It’s gonna be the place to be this summer so you better get your tickets now.

Double Your Water Park Fun

The only thing better than one water park filled with loads of family fun and entertainment is two of them! Get double the water park fun this summer when Disney’s Blizzard Beach reopens on May 21 after a brief closure starting May 1. It will be the first time since 2019 that guests can splash around at both Disney water parks during their trip.

Blizzard Beach and its wintery theming invites guests to enjoy a unique mix of frozen fun amid warm waters that includes attractions and experiences for the entire family. Get an adrenaline rush on thrilling slides like Summit Plummet and Downhill Double Dipper or relax on a float down Cross Country Creek. Take the little ones to the ‘Frozen’-themed play areas of Tike’s Peak and splash around in the heated waters of Melt-Away Bay wave pool.

Dive into either water park with a special offer that is sure to make a huge splash: Guests staying at a Walt Disney World hotel in 2025 get free admission to either water park on their day of arrival.

These splash-tastic deals and experiences are all part of a lineup of special offers, new shows and limited-time activities and entertainment coming to Walt Disney World this summer for families with kids. For more details, check out Cool Kid Summer.
