Hiya Scott!
Thank you so much for sending us your question today, and welcome to planDisney! I always love answering questions from fellow Canadians, and since I grew up in Quebec, that practically makes us neighbours, right? Plus, there is nothing better than getting to spend the cold Canadian winters in the warm Florida heat!
The water parks are the best place to spend Florida's hot summer days, so I completely understand why you would like to spend as much time as you can in the cool lazy river! Unfortunately, the Walt Disney World Resort does not currently sell Annual Passes that only include admission to the water parks. However, there are a few other options for you to spend your summer days at Disney's Blizzard Beach or Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Parks! First, you can
purchase water park tickets for your party. Second, you can buy an Annual Pass and purchase the
additional selection to include admission to the water parks. It is important to note that the sale of Annual Passes is currently paused, so make sure to keep an eye on the Walt Disney World website to know when they return. However, if you already have an Annual Pass, you may also benefit from
special offers on water parks entry. Lastly, you can also purchase theme park tickets with the
Park Hopper Plus option which gives you access to the water parks. This option can be added when buying your tickets upon checkout.
Now, Scott, you will be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort during an especially magical time. Indeed, October 1st, 2021, kicked off the Resort's
50th-anniversary celebration and so many new magical offerings. At Magic Kingdom Park, make sure to stop by Cinderella Castle to watch the brand new show "
Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire." Next, head down Main Street USA and find a good spot to watch
Disney's Festival of Fantasy Parade, which just returned to the Magic Kingdom! With its many characters, colourful parade floats and familiar soundtrack, this parade is an offering you will not want to miss! Lastly, make sure to check out the brand new fireworks shows happening at Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT.
Disney Enchantment and
Harmonious are incredible nighttime shows featuring your favourite Disney songs and breathtaking projections.
I hope this was helpful, Scott, and that you and your loved ones will have the best day ever on your upcoming Disney vacation. If you have any other questions in the time leading up to your visit, don't hesitate to reach out. It is always "ice" to "ski" you!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
