Hi there Nikki, and wishing you a watery welcome to planDisney!
Personally, I haven't always been the biggest water park fan and have had my share of experiences with waterslides - but it really wasn't until I tried out
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park for myself as a Disney adult when I really began to appreciate all of the fun theming elements and the joys of being able to slowly drift around in a clockwise loop to
the nearest snack location.
- As a fellow Annual Passholder, I've definitely been able to benefit from being able to upgrade my Annual Pass to include the Water Park and Sports Option (but the most important thing to remember is that you'll want to visit the water parks two or more times to really make the most of it). At the current time the pricing does remain the same but like many Walt Disney World Resort offerings, it is also subject to change at any time without prior notice and the sooner you take advantage of it the more chances you'll have to soak up some fun until your Annual Pass expiry date.
- We were able to have this upgraded when we inquired at the Guest Relations window at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and the Cast Members highly recommend speaking with them first about your plans in the event that anything has changed before you make your way in. Depending on how your admission to the water park was purchased you may be able to apply that towards the Water Park and Sports Option on your Annual Pass, but again as policies may be subject to change it's always best to check in person to avoid any disappointment.
In the event that you decide water parks aren't quite your thing, there are a number of other fun things to enjoy with this upgrade like the
Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Miniature Golf over near Disney's BoardWalk or even
Winter Summerland Miniature Golf; there are however limitations on when and how often you can play each day (one round prior to 4:00 P.M.) so be sure to plan accordingly. Here's hoping that not only will you be enticed by the alluring aquatic adventures during your upcoming visit, but that the Cast Members are able to process that upgrade for you that day! In the meantime, don't hesitate to come back to us here at planDisney for any other answers or advice and
stay tuned for any new water park updates on the Disney Parks Blog.
Here's to making a splash at the water parks this summer to beat the heat!
