Hi Jennifer!
Welcome to planDisney.
I think the Disney water parks are hidden gems! After the sometimes more exciting and faster-paced theme parks, something must be said about taking some time out at
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon or
Disney's Blizzard Beach (whichever is open). Yes, there's a lot of water fun, but there's also something rather lovely about relaxing on a beach chair to recharge.
Towels are complimentary at the water parks for all Disney Resort hotel guests. You just need to visit
Singapore Sal's at Typhoon Lagoon or
Beach Haus at Blizzard Beach, and show proof of residency - your MagicBand is fine. For all other guests, towels are available for rent, or you can bring your own. At the same location you can also purchase the use of a locker, and buy any essentials you may have forgotten to bring with you.
If you are spending a whole day at the water park, you can upgrade your experience. You can reserve a Typhoon Lagoon Umbrella (securing a shaded area with 4 chairs, small table and towels), or a Beachcomber Shack (a larger private shaded area with comfortable seating for more people, a locker, cold water all day, refillable mugs and an attendant to take your orders for food and beverages for an additional charge). These reserved areas can be booked online, or when you arrive at the water park, and are available on a first come, first served basis, and you can see where they are located on this useful
water parks guide map.
Similar upgrades are available at Blizzard Beach - Lodge Umbrellas and Polar Patios.
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions, and you can
send me a direct question if you wish. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation at Walt Disney World!
