Welcome to planDisney, Carolyn! You're just a few days away from diving into all of the magic of a Walt Disney World Resort vacation, and kicking things off with your
complimentary water park admission as a Disney Resort hotel guest sounds like the best way to jump right into the fun!
Carolyn, on the morning of your resort check-in, your complimentary water park tickets will appear for each guest on your Disney Resort hotel reservation in your
My Disney Experience mobile app (from the home page, click the three horizontal lines at the bottom right and then select the "My Tickets & Passes" tile at the top left), ready to scan! To
enter the water park, you can scan in using a MagicBand, Key to the World Card, or Disney Magic Mobile Service directly on your mobile device.
I've had the opportunity to take advantage of this perk a few times in 2025; once my family headed directly to the water park before arriving at our Disney Resort; another time, we had a split stay, so we checked out of our first resort, had our bags transferred to our second resort, and caught the complimentary Disney bus over to the water park! No matter what your itinerary looks like for the day, you can easily access the water park at whatever point in the day you'd like!
Carolyn, before I let you go, here are a few tips for your day at
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park:
- You can pick up complimentary towels at Singapore Sal's once you arrive, and complimentary life jackets are also available for younger swimmers!
- If you're using complimentary resort transportation from your Disney Resort hotel, you will need to board a bus from your hotel to Disney Springs and then transfer to a second bus for Typhoon Lagoon.
- If you're driving your own vehicle to the water park, parking is complimentary!
Carolyn, I hope this helps! Be sure to take a ride on the
Crush 'n' Gusher while you're there - it's my favorite water attraction! And if you're brave enough to ride the waves of the wave pool, hold onto your glasses and your hats (trust me!)
If you have any other planning questions, Carolyn, we'd love to see you again here at
planDisney! Come back anytime!
See you real soon,
Alison
