Hi Jean!
For 2025, the Walt Disney World Resort has announced that it is offering a
new perk for guests staying at
Disney Resorts Collection hotels: free admission to one of the water parks on the day of check-in. This is a fantastic way to kick off any vacation with some fun in the sun!
As a heads up, Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park operate on a rotational basis, so while one is open, the other typically undergoes refurbishments to ensure everything is in top shape for guests.
However, this exciting water park offer is exclusive to guests staying at
Disney Resorts Collection hotels. Unfortunately, the
Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort is not part of this group, so if you are staying there, you won’t be eligible for the complimentary water park admission on the day of check-in.
If you're looking for alternatives within the Disney Resorts Collection, I highly recommend considering
Disney's Pop Century Resort or
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. Both are not only affordable options but are also conveniently located along the Disney Skyliner line, providing easy access to popular parks like EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios. It’s a great way to enjoy your stay and take full advantage of the special offers available at Disney Resorts Collection hotels!
I hope that you and your family have the most magical time!
