Hi Lisa!
Thank you for visiting planDisney. Your question brought a smile to my face because, like you, I’m a Florida resident and an Annual Passholder. Just last week, I renewed my pass and added the Water Park and Sports Option for the first time, and I’m excited to try it out this weekend!
The
Water Park and Sports Option is a fantastic addition to your
Annual Pass, offering even more magic at Walt Disney World Resort. With this option, you’ll get access to Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water parks, as well as other fun activities like the 9-hole Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course, FootGolf, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex (when events are scheduled), Disney’s Winter Summerland and Disney’s Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Courses (before 4:00 p.m.), and Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course (9-hole walking course).
Regarding blockout dates, the Water Park and Sports Option generally doesn’t share the same blockout dates as your Annual Pass. However, it's a good idea to check availability for some experiences during peak times on the Walt Disney World website or through the My Disney Experience app.
I also recommend considering adding
Disney PhotoPass Downloads to your pass. This option allows you to download all the photos taken by Disney PhotoPass photographers during your visits, including attraction photos and those special character moments. It’s a wonderful way to capture and keep all those magical memories without having to worry about taking your own pictures.
If you’re looking to add more variety and fun to your visits, I think you’ll love the Water Park and Sports Option as much as I’m looking forward to it! And with Disney PhotoPass Downloads, you’ll have all the memories of your adventures beautifully captured. I hope this helps with your decision, and I wish you many magical days ahead at Walt Disney World Resort!
Best Wishes,
~Yael
