    If staying onsite in a Disney Hotel, do guests get the 30 minute early access to the water parks as well as the theme parks?

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Rebecca!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are delighted you stopped by and are honored that you have chosen us to help you plan your Disney World vacation! It looks like you will be traveling to the "Most MAGICAL Place On Earth" in just a few months...WOO HOO! We know you are going to have the most incredible time!

    This is a great question! After doing some investigative reporting, I wanted to inform you that Disney Water Parks does not offer early access for Guests staying at a Disney World property. This TIGGER-ific perk is only available for the four Disney Theme Parks. 

    As you plan for your Disney Water Park day, I have a few suggestions for you...

    1. Arrive early! I suggest arriving around 15 minutes before the gates open to claim the perfect location for your belongings. Early arrival also means shorter lines for popular attractions. The last time we went to Blizzard Beach with my family, we were able to ride many of our favorite attractions before the big crowds arrived.

    2. Don't Forget your Footwear! Water shoes can protect your feet from hot surfaces and are allowed on most attractions. 

    3. Plan Your Meals! I highly recommend not eating during the peak dining hours. You do not want to waste precious moments waiting in line. Plan to eat around 11:00 a.m. to find adequate places to sit and then head back out for more fun in the sun.

    4. Rent a Private Area! If you are looking for a special place for your group to hang out and enjoy together, I recommend booking a Polar Patio at Blizzard Beach. I know you will love it!

    I hope this information is helpful in your planning process. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way we can!

    OH, and have a Cowabunga day!
