    How do we check in at the water park as a guest of a day any resort? Do we need to check in at the resort before going to a water park or is our online reservation enough to show we are guests and will be admitted into the water parks?

    Howdy, Linda! It’s so nice to see you here at planDisney, and I’m happy to help you with your upcoming check-in day plans at Walt Disney World!

    Starting your vacation with a splash at one of Disney’s water parks is a great idea. If you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you and everyone listed on your reservation receive complimentary admission to the water park that’s open on your arrival day, which is just a fun little perk to kick off the magic early!

    Once you log into your My Disney Experience account, you should see the water park day listed under your plans, along with the names of your travel party. You won’t need a separate ticket; you'll just show up at the open park, whether it’s Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach. You'll use your MagicBand or mobile device to tap into the park, just as you would when you enter the other parks. 

    If both parks happen to be open on your check-in day, that’s an extra treat! Each park has its own vibe: Typhoon Lagoon has that tropical island theme and the giant wave pool, while Blizzard Beach brings a snowy ski-resort twist with a few thrill slides that are perfect for brave adventurers. Let me know your group’s preferences, relaxation or big thrills, and I’ll help you decide which one’s the best fit!

    There's no need to stop by your Disney resort first, unless you'd like to have your luggage stored with Bell Services in case your resort room isn't ready yet. If you're driving in, you can head straight to the water park of your choice. 

    Linda, if you have more planning questions, please stop by and visit with us again. 

    Toodles,
