As specialists in crafting magical Disney vacations, Axis Travel Group is thrilled to share groundbreaking news for families planning their 2025 getaways: Both of Walt Disney World’s iconic water parks, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, will operate simultaneously this summer for the first time since 2019, marking a historic return to full park operations. Starting May 21, 2025, guests can dive into twice the aquatic adventures alongside Disney’s four theme parks—a milestone celebration timed to Blizzard Beach’s 30th anniversary.
A Summer of Firsts: Dual Water Park Access & Extended Magic
In a surprise announcement April 1 (confirmed not an April Fools’ prank), Disney revealed that Blizzard Beach will temporarily close May 1–20 for seasonal refurbishments before reopening May 21 alongside Typhoon Lagoon. From May 21 through September 7, 2025, families can split their days between Typhoon Lagoon’s tropical shipwreck theme and Blizzard Beach’s snowy slopes—complementing their summer vacation.
“This is a game-changer for families craving variety,” said Natali Bohm, Axis Travel Group’s owner. “With both water parks open, we’re designing itineraries that let clients rotate between thrill slides, lazy rivers, and exclusive after-hours events—all while securing the best Disney resort deals.”
2025 Perks: Free Water Park Access on Arrival Day
Looking ahead, Axis Travel Group highlights a new 2025 perk for Disney Resort guests: complimentary water park admission on arrival day. Visitors can choose between Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon to kickstart their vacation, with Axis agents already booking early 2025 packages.
“Arrival day is often underutilized,” Bohm added. “Now families can head straight from the airport to Melt-Away Bay’s wave pool or Miss Adventure Falls. Our team handles dining reservations, Lightning Lane passes, and water park tickets so clients maximize every moment.”
H2O Glow After Hours: Nighttime Splash Parties & 2025 Discounts
For families seeking cooler evenings and shorter lines, Disney’s H2O Glow After Hours returns to Typhoon Lagoon May 23–September 13, 2025. This ticketed event features glow-in-the-dark dance parties, meet-and-greets with Toy Story characters, and unlimited snacks.
Pro Tip from Axis Travel Group: 2025 H2O Glow tickets include unprecedented savings, with kids’ tickets priced at $42.50 (50% off adult rates) and discounts for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members. While 2025 general sales begin on April 4, guests staying at select resorts gain exclusive early access starting April 1.
