Celebrate the Holidays Disney Style at Blizzard Beach
It’s time to deck the palms and dive into the season! Holiday festivities have returned to Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, blending tropical vibes with winter wonder. This reopened, winter-themed water park invites guests of all ages to celebrate the holidays with festive food, fun activities, and even a sandy Santa sighting.
Festive Fun Begins November 13
Blizzard Beach officially reopens on November 13. Along with heated waters and snowy decor, this season introduces Frozen-themed touches inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios. So, swap your ugly sweaters for swimsuits and get ready to splash into holiday cheer.
Santa in His Tropical Best
Yes, Santa Claus is making beachside appearances! Guests can meet Santa—dressed in his tropical holiday gear—at Sonny’s Sleds near the main entrance. He’ll be available daily from park open until 12:30 p.m. through December 24.

Seasonal Treats to Savor
Head to Lottawatta Lodge to indulge in a limited-time Peppermint Milkshake. For a more hands-on treat, pick up a Gingerbread Cookie Decorating Kit for $10.99. It includes two cookies, icing, sprinkles, and decorations—a fun and delicious way to create your own festive snack.
Float Into the Holidays on Castaway Creek
Take a relaxing break on Castaway Creek in a holiday-themed tube. Drift through caves, grottos, and under palm trees adorned with lights. The warm spring water and seasonal sights make it a relaxing and memorable ride.
Join the Holiday Scavenger Hunt
Explore Blizzard Beach with a festive twist through a holiday-themed scavenger hunt. Two versions are available: one through Tike’s Peak and another through Ski Patrol Training Camp. Pick up your map at the Lost Children Hut. Maps are offered Friday–Sunday through December 21, and daily from December 22–31.
