Hi Anna! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm happy to hear you are considering a visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort! Before you know it, you'll be arriving for an unforgettable stay filled with magical experiences and lasting memories!
Guests staying in a Disney Resort hotel during 2025 have been able to enjoy admission to the water park on their check-in day. This added perk is included with their stay for no additional cost and has allowed Guests to add a little extra fun to their arrival. Walt Disney World has announced that this benefit will make a return in 2026, although it will only be during the summer. Official dates have not been announced just yet, but I suggest following along with the
Disney Parks Blog for the latest updates.
Anna, if you're flexible with your dates, you may be able to take advantage of this during your stay next year. During this summer, both
Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon were open and welcoming Guests each day. I'm curious to see if Disney decides to run this back for next year, since it helped out with crowds at each park and also gave Guests the option of which park they wanted to visit.
During my stay this past April, we were able to visit Blizzard Beach on our check-in day. It was a great way to get the trip started since we were not planning to begin using our park tickets until the next day.
I hope you have a wonderful time planning your stay for next year! Stop back and
see us any time at planDisney with any additional questions that come your way!
