Hi Nicola!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm happy to hear you're planning a visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort next year! Before you know it, you'll be arriving for a magical visit filled with countless family memories and exciting experiences.
Beyond the theme parks, Disney has
two water parks that are open at select times throughout the year. Unfortunately, no information has been released about which one will be open when you visit in March. Over the past few years, Walt Disney World has done a good job of rotating openings and closures for each one. Once one closes for a refurbishment, the other will open back up for Guests. I would follow along with the
Disney Parks Blog for any announcements about a possible schedule.
For the first time in several years, both
Disney's Blizzard Beach and
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon are open for a few months over the summer. This change allows Guests to visit multiple water parks during their visit or have a choice between the two. While there are similar aspects that each one shares, there are plenty of unique attractions at both water parks. The theming is drastically different, which helps make each one stand out on its own. While I am a fan of Typhoon Lagoon, I understand why Blizzard Beach is your favorite. There is something fascinating about the idea of a winter-themed water park that creates an added layer of creativity to the park.
Nicola, I'll keep my fingers crossed that Blizzard Beach is open when you arrive. It was operating this past March when I visited, so I hope the same stays true for next year.
Have a magical time planning for your stay!
Greg
