Hello, Katharine! Welcome to planDisney, and thanks so much for stopping by to see us! You must be so excited to be visiting Walt Disney World around the
holidays!
My family also loves to add a
Water Park day to each of our vacations, and it often happens to be the most memorable, laid-back day for us! One of the Disney Water Parks is luckily open year-round, but one may be closed at that time, and it is not yet possible to know which one. However, both
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park and
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park have so much to offer that you can’t go wrong!
Regarding your
Park Ticket options, I would suggest that if you do not plan to
Park Hop at other times during your trip, you simply purchase one-day Tickets to the Water Parks. You can do this at the Park entrance or in advance if you wish. This way, you can avoid adding the Park Hopper Option to your
Theme Park Tickets if you will not need it!
As you continue planning, Katharine, make sure you take time to review the
Experience Updates pages to familiarize yourself with all the newest policies and offerings around the Disney Parks. Also, check out the
Disney Parks Blog for updates, as there are frequent changes on the horizon!
I hope you enjoy your holiday visit, and please know that we are here for you during any part of your planning process! Don’t hesitate to come back and see us again soon!
