Welcome back to planDisney, Caroline. It's so nice that you've made your way back to us!
If you book a
vacation package with 3 nights at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel and 4 days of
theme park tickets, you will have a theme park ticket for your arrival day, checkout day, and the 2 days in between. The
complimentary water park visit on your check-in day for Disney Resorts Collection Hotel Guests' stays in 2025 would be separate from your 4 days of theme park tickets. It's important to note that the water park usually closes earlier than the theme parks do. So, you can visit a water park earlier in the day on your arrival day and then use one of your theme park tickets later on in the day! If you'd prefer only to have 3 days of theme park tickets with your 3-night stay, you can also opt to purchase your theme park tickets and hotel room reservation separately. Just note that cancelation policies are usually different if you book your vacation this way, and you cannot add on a
dining plan if they are booked separately. I would price it all out and see what works best for your travel party and travel style!
There are a lot of things to look forward to with your 2025 visit beyond the water park! If you're coming in the summer, you may be able to check out the new nighttime parade at
Magic Kingdom Park, "
Disney Starlight." Two new shows are likely to debut in
Disney's Hollywood Studios in the summer of 2025:
a villain-inspired show and "
The Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure." Plus, you've got
a Spaceship Earth-inspired lounge in EPCOT and one inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean in Magic Kingdom Park coming too! And don't forget about
the reimagined Test Track in
EPCOT and
Zootopia: Better Zoogether in
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, both also slated to open at some point in 2025!
Caroline, best wishes with planning, and enjoy it all when it's time for your vacation.
