Hi there, Krysta! Thanks for splashing back over to us at planDisney with another great vacation planning question! It looks like you're ready to make some waves on your next Walt Disney World Resort vacation by taking advantage of the
complimentary water park admission for Disney Resort hotel guests, so let's dive into the details!
Krysta, this special offer for Disney Resort hotel guests is only valid for use on the day of your resort check-in, so if you arrive at your resort late at night, unfortunately, you won't be able to use the complimentary admission on another day. I know this isn't the news you had hoped to hear, but if visiting the Disney Water Parks is a priority for you during your stay, you can look into adding the water park options like the
Water Park and Sports Option or the
Park Hopper Plus Option to your standard theme park tickets to give you some flexibility on when and how often you can dive into the fun, or you can purchase a separate
Water Park Ticket to use on one of your vacation days!
Don't forget that each Disney Resort hotel also offers a feature pool and several smaller quiet pool areas, and many resorts also offer water features like splash pads and waterslides for some onsite aquatic fun! Since you mentioned arriving at night, most resort pools operate until around 10 PM, which is later than the Disney Water Park operating hours, so even with a nighttime arrival, you might be able to jump into the magic as soon as you arrive for a few hours!
I hope this helps, Krysta! If you have any other questions before your trip, you're always welcome back at
planDisney!
Just Keep Swimming,
Alison
