Welcome back to planDisney, Beth!
Oh, you must be so excited for your upcoming visit to
Walt Disney World! Because you've booked a room at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you'll be able to start your stay enjoying the
Water Park Benefit for summer 2026. That's even more magical!
Beth, you'll be happy to hear that you can head straight to either
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park or
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park on the day of your arrival--no need to stop at your Disney Resort hotel first. Check out
Tips for Your Arrival Day, and you'll see that you can access this perk by using a MagicBand,
MagicBand+, or
Disney MagicMobile Service if you have not yet picked up your Key to the World Card at your hotel.
Should you need to store your luggage prior to check-in, you can head to your WDW hotel and leave your bags with
Bell Services. Then, take
Resort Transportation from
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge to your water park of choice and enjoy a refreshing, fun-filled day. When ready to return, you can pick up your bags as you enter the hotel or you can ask Bell Services to deliver them for you. So convenient!
Beth, this seasonal perk is such a great way to start your stay off with an added dose of fun. My husband and I can't wait to do just that this summer. The only difficult thing is deciding which water park.
As you put together your pixie-dusted plans for your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, be sure to send additional questions our way. We love to help!
