    We arrive at WDW on Sunday 3/8/26 and we are staying at the Contemporary. Do we receive ‘complementary’ entrance to Blizzard Beach on our date of arrival?

    Greetings Paul and welcome back to planDisney! 

    Are you more Finding Nemo?  Or Little Mermaid?  I lean toward Dory and just keep swimming!  That's why I love the complimentary water park benefit for Disney Resorts Collection hotel guests that will return this summer!    

    I’m sorry to say that your stay that begins on March 8, 2026, is not during the complimentary benefit which runs from May 26, 2026, through September 8, 2026.  First introduced in 2025, Walt Disney World Resort hotel guests are treated to a complimentary visit to either Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon or Disney’s Blizzard Beach on the first day of their arrival.   

    I know that's not the answer you were looking for, but you are visiting Walt Disney World during an amazing time! The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is just starting to bloom from March 4, 2026, through June 1, 2026!  The gardens and living sculptures of Disney characters are spectacular, and the food is amazing!  I also try to catch one of the Garden Rocks Concert Series when I’m in town.  I’m a yacht rock, soul, 70’s kind of guy and this year's lineup is right up my alley! 

    Paul, I hope you have a magical trip and of course enjoy a Mickey Bar or two!
