Hi there Brittany! It's great to see you again at the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Thanks for stopping by with another planning question.
It sounds like you're looking forward to a fall vacation at the Most Magical Place on Earth. Yay! September is a great month to visit the Disney Parks. I just love the spooktacular autumn decorations in the
Magic Kingdom Park and the culinary happenings at the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. It's also perfect swimming weather, and I'm glad you plan to cool off and dive into a
Walt Disney World Water Park.
The new
Water Park and Sports ticket add-on allows guests to make a splash at
Blizzard Beach and
Typhoon Lagoon, live out their professional basketball dreams at the
NBA Experience, or take their best swing at one of Walt Disney World's
miniature or
full-scale golf courses. The total number of Water Park and Sports admissions you receive with this option is based on the length of your theme park ticket. For example, with a 4-day ticket that includes the Water Park and Sports option, you are eligible for four visits to any of these locations. Even better, it’s flexible! You can use all admissions on the same day or repeat the same experience across multiple days.
In terms of your desired itinerary, I have good news for you! A 4-day theme park ticket with the Water Park and Sports option will be
valid for 7 days after its first use, and you ARE able to use the water park and sports options on days that you do not visit the theme parks. You can absolutely visit the theme parks during the first four days of your trip, and then end your vacation with a water park day. Hakuna Matata!
I hope that clears up any questions you had in regards to this new admission offering. If anything else comes up as your vacation approaches, or if you have trouble deciding which water park is the best fit for your family, please come back and see us again. We're all ears!
Until then, just keep swimming!
Betsy
