It was probably cool for Walt Disney World visitors to see Blizzard Beach reopen over the weekend, almost a full year after the Florida theme park closed its gates due to the coronavirus health crisis.
Blizzard Beach welcomed guests once again on Sunday, inviting the brave to dive down the 120-foot-tall Summit Plummet water slide and catch their breath on a real chair lift, per the Disney Parks Blog.
