Hi Tanya!
Welcome to planDisney!
Water park entry is not affected by theme park reservations/entry, so you’ll be good to go to scan into the water park without scanning into the theme park first.
Just make sure you have your
park reservation made for whichever theme park you’ll be entering after your time at the water park. If you plan to go to more than one theme park that day, you’ll have to scan into the theme park where you made your reservation first.
Disney Parks Blog recently announced that
Typhoon Lagoon will reopen on May 1, 2025! So, you can plan for that water park to be open during your stay. I can’t tell you how many times my boys requested to take a lap around
Castaway Creek (the lazy river) last time we were there. While of course you can never fully predict the weather, we visited last year at the exact time of your trip and had perfect pool weather. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you get the same!
You’ll also get to experience
Epcot’s Flower & Garden Festival, which is one of my favorites! Check out all the
outdoor kitchen menus ahead of time to come up with a game plan because…WOW! The food looks incredible this year.
I hope you have the best trip! Let us know if you have any other questions.
