Hello there Christine Anne - Mabuhay and welcome to planDisney!
As a fellow Filipino who spent over a decade living and working at sea, it's so great to hear that your brother-in-law was able to benefit from the recognition that Disney Cruise Line crew receive through the
Disney Family Holiday Celebration that provides eligible Cast Members with special discounts, coupons and perks from October 15, 2023 - September 27, 2024.
From the sounds of it, you've been gifted the opportunity to enjoy
Disney Family Holiday Guest Water Park Admission Tickets at either
Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon or
Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, and according to the redemption instructions you are not required to pre-register these tickets or make any advance reservations. It is however, important to review the
Walt Disney World Resort Hours & Events Calendar to confirm the opening hours for the dates that you're hoping to visit, especially since only one of the water parks will remain open through the end of the year at the present time.
Now in my personal experience in the past, using any special passes given to me as a Cast Member required me to ensure that there were no blockout dates that would prevent these tickets to be used and may also require a Self Admission Pass or Main Entrance Pass to be scanned in conjunction with these tickets for each guest I was bringing. Since these specific details and policies are always subject to change without prior notice, I highly encourage your brother-in-law to
reach out to the Disney Family Holiday Celebration team at TWDC.Disney.Family.Holiday.Celebration@twdc.com and provide his full name and personnel number (PERNR) in order to have the most up to date information sent to him directly regarding what you'll need to know to redeem these tickets, since this resource is only available for eligible Cast Members to contact.
Now when you do make your way over here in December, I hope that you get the chance to enjoy all of the fun photo opportunities at
Winter Summerland Miniature Golf and be sure to check out
some of the latest and greatest happenings at Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park including a chance to meet Santa himself in unique vacation attire and even experience a little magical snowfall under the Floridian sun. (My personal tip: though I grew up catching snowflakes on my tongue in Canada, I definitely don't recommend trying to do so with the artificial snow at Walt Disney World Resort!)
Hope this was helpful Christine Anne, don't hesitate to come back to planDisney again soon to ask us for any other tips or advice ahead of your next Disney adventure!
Here's hoping that you'll make a splash and your upcoming vacation is a hole-in-one!
Prince
