Typhoon Lagoon closed 4th October or 25th October?!

[rosh]

Hi, currently planning out our itinerary for our visit starting 21 October and there is conflicting information around when Typhoon Lagoon is closed for is winter rehab. Disneyworld.com shows opening hours up to the 24th and then closed after the 25th but other sites (inc undercover tourist) are showing that the closure is from the 4th.

Anyone have any ideas?!

This is very interesting, we will be there from 10/15-10/20 and wanted to go (it's our favorite water park), but have read that it will be closed during our stay. If it is indeed opened, I am going to have to rethink our touring schedule a bit. I'm hoping someone else will come along to help clarify this.

The date of 10/4 is from a 'Disney Travel Agency Calender' that's typically sent out well before official dates are released.

It's a preliminary look at [advanced] dates showing operation hours, nighttime events, parades, Extra Magic Hours, etc.

This year's (and last's) October calendar showed Typhoon Lagoon closing 10/4. In recent years, and since I can remember... a water park has never closed that early for refurbishment.

Like many things... nothing is official until 'Disney says so'... Typhoon Lagoon will close 10/24... and is currently scheduled for refurbishment 10/25 - 11/30.

Thank you typhoonlagooner for the info. DH and I were so bummed when we saw that it would be closed during our stay (kids don't know we are going yet). As of right now I have it planned that we will be spending the morning that we were originally going to TL to AK then onto DTD, but after your explanation, I will be on the lookout for Disney's official word and if TL will indeed be opened when we are there, I will most definitely change our plans .

Last year it closed Oct 26th so unless the schedule has changed alot Oct 25th seems more likely

I would trust the Disney World site.

https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/calendars/2015-10-25/

It states that it is closed from October 25th - November 30th.

I was hoping it would be open on the 25th but I guess I can move my date.

Thank you all so much and I am so sorry to the OP, I really didn't mean to hijack your thread .

Bummer. We were going to try TL this trip as we have never done a DW Water park. Is it worth it to try Blizzard Beach? My kids will be 12 and 14.
