Hi Megan!
Welcome back to planDisney! As my friend Princess Tiana would say, your next visit to Walt Disney World Resort is
getting closer and closer every day! If you haven't stayed at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort before, I'd recommend checking out the recently
released resort tour video featuring my panelist pals
Elaine and
JoAnna. They do a great job showcasing everything this resort has to offer, so you know exactly what to expect when you arrive.
Speaking of your arrival, Megan, I'm excited to hear that you're planning to take advantage of the
FREE water park admission benefit on your check-in day! I have my own trip coming up very soon and am looking forward to starting my vacation off with a splash! With both
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park and
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park open this summer, deciding which to visit can be tough. I recently chatted with a Cast Member about this benefit, and she shared that you may be able to visit both water parks, subject to park attendance and capacity limitations. Her recommendation was to check with a Cast Member when you arrive at the water park to confirm if you can visit both parks that day.
On your check-in day, the complimentary water park tickets should auto-
magically populate in the My Disney Experience account of each registered resort Guest. You can use your
MagicBand+,
Disney MagicMobile Service, or a Key to the World Card from your resort hotel to access your tickets at the water park entrance. If you're planning to use Disney's
resort transportation to get to the water parks,
bus service is offered this summer between Blizzard Beach and Art of Animation. However, if you're heading to Typhoon Lagoon, you'll need to catch a bus to
Disney Springs before transferring to a bus for the water park. Driving to Walt Disney World Resort? You’ll be able to enjoy
complimentary standard parking at your resort hotel, the theme parks, and both water parks during your stay!
I hope this information has been helpful, Megan, and that you enjoy
all the summer fun happening at Walt Disney World this year! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney - we're all ears!
Cheers!
Kristi
