Walt Disney World Adds Water Park Perk for 2025 Resort Guests

  For me, nothing is better than the excitement that comes with the first day of a vacation. Here at the Walt Disney World Resort, we’re about to make those already awesome arrival days even better with a NEW perk. Start Your Vacation at a Disney Water Park       Disney Resort hotel guests arriving in 2025 can enjoy admission to one of our water parks, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park or Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park ,  on their check-in day – included in their stay. Our water parks have something for everyone: big thrills, lazy rivers, wave pools, interactive play areas for younger kids and even water slides the whole family can enjoy together. The fun can start on day one at a Disney water park when you stay in the Disney Resorts Collection! Tip: Be sure to check the water park operating hours closer to your 2025 arrival to plan your check-in day.   More Disney Resort Hotel Benefits There are so many reasons why I prefer to stay at a Disney Resort hotel.
