Hi Shonda
Thanks for splashing by planDisney! I’m so excited to learn that you are prepping to take advantage of the Water Park benefit. Diving into the magic upon arrival doesn’t get any more magical… or refreshing!
As you know, the Walt Disney World Resort is home to two incredible water parks. They each have their own personality.
Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is a tropical paradise that feels like a storm-tossed island hideaway. It’s home to North America’s largest wave pool, where you can body surf on giant swells, and the family-friendly Miss Adventure Falls raft ride, my personal fave! You’ll also find a beautiful sandy beach perfect for relaxing between thrills.
Disney’s Blizzard Beach is a completely different vibe. A “melting” ski resort where snow meets splash. It’s the place for high-speed fun like Summit Plummet, one of the tallest and fastest free-fall body slides in the world, plus the winding Teamboat Springs family raft ride. There’s even a chairlift to take you to the top of some attractions, adding to the wintry charm.
With the
current offer of complimentary water park admission for Guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you can take advantage of this benefit on your check-in day. Fun fact, you can actually visit both on that day! That means you could start your vacation with a splash at one park in the morning, then hop over to the other in the afternoon to experience them both on the same magical day.
As for towels, I have good news! Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel can use towels at the water parks free of charge. If you’re staying off-property, towels are available to rent for a small fee, or you can bring your own from home.
Whichever park you dive into, you’re in for a day of sunshine, splashes, and smiles. I recommend checking the official Walt Disney World website or app right before your visit to confirm which water park is open, since they operate seasonally.
Wishing you waves of magic and buckets of fun,
Emille
