I figured maybe in April Blizzard Beach would open (I went to TL the day before it closed for the season, lucky enough) and I was checking online to see when Blizzard Beach would open, but the Disney site lists their hours as 10AM to 5PM from now all the way through March (at least). Typhoon Lagoon is still listed as closed for the season, that makes sense. So is Blizzard Beach actually open right now? And will it be next February or March? I figure on the rainy days it'd be closed, but is it actually open in the winter?

If it rains you can count on getting wet even when not in the water. Only lighting closes the park. All bets or off if the economy takes an even worse nose dive, and WDW decides to cut back even more entertainment.
Originally Posted By SteamboatPhillie OK, then a follow up question I have (out of curiousity) is why Typhoon Lagoon has been closed two years in a row while Blizzard Beach has (I am assuming) been open the whole time. Just curious.
Originally Posted By MPierce Speculation only on my part as I don't have any inside information. TL wave pool is broken, and needs to be fixed. Also I believe there could be some serious structual issues.

Originally Posted By bloona they usually both close for two months each, the big wave machine for surfing waves is broken at TL. The other waves were fine when we were there two weeks ago.
Originally Posted By MPierce They use to alternate closings in Jan. TL one year, and BB the next. I think BB will have to remain open at least until TL complets a major rehab. That could be right up to Spring Break.
Originally Posted By bloona theyve just had their re hab at BB havent they? it was closed when we arrived in Orlando, ando re opened on the 26th of Oct.
