Hey there, Kim!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney—I’m thrilled to hear you’ve got a magical vacation coming up in just a few months! Let’s dive into some exciting details about your stay.
In 2025, Guests at Disney Resorts Collection hotels can enjoy
complimentary water park admission on their check-in day! Whether you’re making a splash at
Typhoon Lagoon or chilling at
Blizzard Beach, this perk is a fantastic way to kick off your Disney adventure. Just keep in mind that this benefit can ONLY be used on the day you check in, during the water park’s normal operating hours (typically 10 AM to 5 PM). If your current travel plans don’t align, you might consider adjusting your arrival time to soak up this awesome perk—it’s the perfect way to start your vacation while waiting for your room to be ready. Here’s a “cool” tip: If you’re doing a split stay and will checking into more than one Disney Resort during your trip, you’ll get the water park benefit on both check-in days!
The water parks operate on a rotational schedule, so when one is closed for refurbishments, the other is open. This pattern
typically runs with Typhoon Lagoon open from March through November, switching back to Blizzard Beach for the winter months.
No reservations are needed to enjoy the water parks, but if you’d like to elevate your day with special seating, like a
Beachcomber Shack at Typhoon Lagoon or a
Polar Patio at Blizzard Beach, reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance. Beach umbrella rentals are also available at both parks. Oh, and don’t worry about packing towels—Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels get complimentary towel use at both water parks!
I hope you have a “splash-tastic” time, Kim! Feel free to paddle back our way if you have any other questions.
Take care,
Eean
