ORLANDO, Fla. — Grab your trunks, the big waves are returning to Walt Disney World. The theme park resort said Tuesday that it will reopen its Typhoon Lagoon water park after an almost two-year hiatus.
The water park closed in March 2020 as the coronavirus started spreading throughout the U.S. While Disney World’s other theme parks reopened in the summer of 2020 with virus safety protocols in place, the water park stayed closed.
Starting on Sunday, Jan. 2, visitors to Typhoon Lagoon will be able to swim in its massive wave pool, slide down its water coaster and meander down its lazy river.
Disney's Blizzard Beach water park will be closing for refurbishment. Jan. 1 will be its last day of operation.
The same COVID-19 guidelines for Disney parks apply to water parks. Face coverings are required indoors, including all indoor attractions and are optional in outdoor areas.
