It closes every year for a few months, as does Typhoon Lagoon. (At a different time).

They are simply refurbing things and doing a bit of painting, cleaning etc.

Every year they close it for a couple months, same with typhhon lagoon, and when river country was open they closed also. They always did them at different times so one park would be open.

It is all maintenance stuff. Painting, replacing broken items, changing signage, sprinklers, etc etc.

I'd guess BB will reopen before Xmas, & TP will close sometime between January & late Feb for 6 to 8 weeks, to be finished before Spring Break/Easter.

WELL i read somewhere else that Typhoon lagoon was closed to but the disney site dosen't say anything.

Also saves a BUNCH of money on running two parks during cold weather months.

Well... you read something incorrect

Albeit with only 80-100 people venturing into Pneumonia Lagoon at the current temperature, maybe they should close it for the season.

And incase you're wondering... Blizzard Beach has scaffolding up around Summit Plummit right now.

I'm pretty sure that BB re-opens on the 7th January. Typhoon Lagoon closes on the 7th for about 6 weeks I think.

I'm getting to DW mid afternoon on the 6th so im hoping I can quickly run to TL and enjoy it for a few hours. Im pretty sure I could put up with it in its run down state :animwink:

I bet it's kept open for people visiting from much colder climates. Like those northerers with their wacky snow and ice. For people coming from single digit temps, Florida cold is like a vacation in the Bahamas. :animwink:

The current refurbishment schedule for the two Disney water parks is as follows:

Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park: Closed October 29, 2006 - January 6, 2007

Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park: Closed January 7, 2007 - March 17, 2007

Due to expected lower attendance levels during the winter months, each of the two water parks is closed during this time for an annual 10 week refurbishment. This allows each park to get the tender loving care of fresh paint and other general maintenance without disrupting the more popular spring / summer / fall months.

Each year the two parks will alternate which one will close for Nov/Dec Season and which one will remain open and be decorated for the holidays. Guest may enjoy the holiday treatment at Typhoon Lagoon this year, and come back next winter to see Blizzard Beach all decked out.
