    We arrive on wednesday! yay! For the water park free admission, do I need to book it still in advance or can we just show up at the waterpark after dropping our things at the hotel?

    Welcome to planDisney, Megan! Thanks for swimming by with your question today; with your trip just a few days away, you must be ready to dive into the magic and embrace the fun that's waiting for you at the Walt Disney World Resort!

    Megan, as a guest at a Disney Resort hotel, one of the exciting special perks currently offered is free water park admission on your check-in day! My family loved having the opportunity to use this perk to visit Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park in July, and I'm sure you're going to have just as much fun making a splash with your family!

    Megan, Disney Water Parks do not currently require any reservations, so to use the complimentary water park admission, all you have to do is show up to the water park and tap into the magic using your MagicBand+, Disney MagicMobile Pass, or Key to the World Card. If you check the "My Tickets and Passes" tile in your My Disney Experience mobile app, you should see your water park ticket and valid admission date already loaded for use and ready to go! Remember that you can also collect complimentary towels to use while you're at the water park - just stop by Singapore Sal's to grab them when you arrive!

    I know you're going to have an epic day at Typhoon Lagoon, Megan! Whether you choose thrills like the Crush 'n' Gusher water coaster, or chills like floating the day away in Castaway Creek, there's magic around every wave and ripple! Be sure to also keep an eye out for special appearances by some Disney pals - you never know who might pop up for a visit while you're there!

    Megan, I hope this helps! I'm wishing you a wonderful vacation, magical memories, and lots of fun in the sun this week! If you have any other questions to help plan your trip, come see us at planDisney any time!

    See you real soon,
    Alison
