A Disney World Water Park Will REOPEN in November

Surf’s up, dudes!

We’ve been enjoying our summer at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, Disney’s islander water park. We’re saying cowabunga as we catch that gnarly waves. But soon we’ll have to say see ya later to Typhoon Lagoon and welcome Disney’s other water park as it opens!

Blizzard Beach

Typhoon Lagoon was closed for several months but finally opened on March 17th, 2024! Woo hoo!

However, on that same day (March 17th) Blizzard Beach closed for refurbishments. But now we know when Blizzard Beach will be reopening! The two will flip-flop again on November 4th when Blizzard Beach reopens and Typhoon Lagoon closes for the winter season.

You have a couple more months to enjoy Typhoon Lagoon before it closes and Blizzard Beach opens once again!

Learn more about Typhoon Lagoon here!

Find out what else will be closed in Disney World from September 8th through September 15th below!

Magic Kingdom

Jungle Cruise

It’s no joke, the Jungle Cruise closed in Magic Kingdom on August 26th!

The ride will be temporarily closed until October 16th. We’ll miss this punny ride while it’s closed! If you’re missing the Skippers as much as us, you can always visit them at Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom or at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. A trip to Magic Kingdom just isn’t the same without those silly Skipper jokes!

Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade

The opening day attraction, the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, officially closed on June 23rd.

This closure is to make room for a new DVC lounge that will soon be coming to Frontierland. This will be the third DVC lounge in Disney World, but we don’t have an opening date, yet.

Tomorrowland Terrace

Tomorrowland Terrace is a restaurant in Magic Kingdom that has usually only been open occasionally, generally during particularly busy seasons. However, it’s been a LONG time since we’ve seen this spot open at all.

Currently, it’s only used for Magic Kingdom fireworks dessert parties, and there’s no word on when it might serve food again.

We Are Sorry to Inform You That This Problem WILL Impact Your Next Magic Kingdom Trip

EPCOT

Test Track

Test Track closed on June 17th and we don’t have any information about its reopening date or timeline yet.  The ride is being reimagined! Disney recently released more details and announced that the ride will reopen in 2025!

We know that the ride will continue to be a partnership with Chevrolet and that they will be taking some inspiration from the original ride World of Motion.

Why EPCOT Had to Remove One of the Coolest Parts of the Festival

Restaurant Marrakesh

Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco pavilion of World Showcase is closed as the restaurant it used to be. From time-to-time, Disney will reopen it as a lounge, and now it being used as the Florida Blue Lounge for the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!

However, we’re still waiting for the full dining experience to return to this restaurant.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

The Voyage of the Little Mermaid as we know it will NOT return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s closed now, and Disney has confirmed that this show has permanently closed to make way for an updated version.

“The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure”, an all-new stage show, will replace the show in the Animation Courtyard theater in Fall 2024.

World Premiere Food Court — All-Star Movies Resort

The World Premiere Food Court was supposed to officially reopen on July 31st, however that was not the case.

Disney recently updated its website to say that the refurbishment will be ongoing until mid-October. Throughout this refurbishment the restaurant hasn’t been totally closed! You can still use mobile order to choose food items off a limited menu and seating is available at the food court and at the arcade. We’ll keep you posted on its full reopening!

Everything Pop Food Court — Pop Century Resort

Everything Pop Food Court is a surprisingly great place to grab a bite of food if you’re staying at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.

However, this food court will be getting some work done on it from July 29th until September 29th. While it’s undergoing refurbishment, Disney has mentioned that you may still order food and drinks here via mobile order on the Disney World app. Alternate entrances may need to be used, though.

Barbados Leisure Pool — Caribbean Beach Resort

The Barbados leisure pool at Disney’s  Caribbean Beach Resort is one of several leisure pools around the resort.

Starting on July 29th, this pool will be closed for refurbishment until the end of September. While it is being refurbished, Disney has mentioned that guests are welcome to check out one of the other leisure pools at the hotel
