After nearly a yearlong closure, Walt Disney World s Blizzard Beach Water Park will welcome visitors back on March 7, 2021, the park announced this week.
Although Disney s other parks like Magic Kingdom, Epcot have been open since July, its water parks have remained closed since the shutdown in March.
Current tickets that include a Park Hopper Plus option or the Water Park & Sport option can be modified, canceled or used with the amenities currently open at Disney World. Unused, unexpired water park tickets can be extended through Dec. 31, 2021 by calling customer service before March 7.
Disney will resume selling water park annual passes and one-day water park admission “at a later date.”
NBPA donating $50,000 to keep Disney World union food bank running By Erin Walsh | Last updated 12/23/20
After spending their summer on Walt Disney World property, NBA players have decided to give back to the cast members who made their stay in Orlando great.
According to Gabrielle Russon and Roy Parry of the Orlando Sentinel, the National Basketball Players Association is donating $50,000 to a local, union-run food bank for laid-off Disney World employees. The food bank has been in danger of closing due to lack of funds, but the NBPA s donation will keep it running for at least another month.
Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic, who is entering his ninth season with the franchise, applauded the donation.
