While Walt Disney World has reopened its parks to guests it’s two water parks remain closed. At this time Disney doesn’t plan to reopen Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach until March 7, 2021.
What’s Happening:

- Disney says they may adjust the proposed reopening date and will let guests know what to expect in a future update.
- Since the Water Parks remain closed, Disney will be automatically issuing Platinum Plus and Premier Annual Passholders with water park access a partial refund.
Platinum Plus Passholders:
- Platinum Plus Passholder, will receive a refund amount based on the price difference between the price paid for their Platinum Plus Pass and the price of a Platinum Annual Pass prorated by the number of days left on pass prior to water park reopening, according to the details as to when partial refunds apply and how they are calculated.
Premier Passholders:
- Premier Passholder, will receive a prorated refund based on the difference between a Walt Disney World Platinum Plus pass compared to the price of a Platinum pass prorated by the number of days left on their pass prior to Water Park reopening.
- This excludes any additional extensions they may be eligible for due to the continued closure of Disneyland Resort according to the details as to when partial refunds apply and how they are calculated.
Passholders on the Monthly Payment Program:
- For those on the Annual Pass monthly payment program, they will receive a lump sum refund as noted above; however, their ongoing monthly payment will not change.
What’s Not Changing:
- The pass will still include admission to Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course.
- If Disney water parks and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex reopen before passes expire, guests can visit them too.
Good to Know:
- Refunds will be automatically processed for pass(es).
- Guests do not need to take any additional action.
