Disney4me Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 There are some great perks that Disney World offers to guests staying at their hotels. Grand Floridian Resort If you are staying on Disney property you get a 30-minute early entry to all of the parks. If you want to purchase Lightning Lanes and make ride reservations in advance, hotel guests get to do that 7 days out from check-in versus just 3 days out for non-resort guests. In 2025 there’s a big perk coming for resort guests and it includes 2 free tickets! Disney World has announced that in 2025, those staying at Disney Resorts (including DVC properties) will get a FREE park ticket to the water parks on their arrival day. You’ll be able to use this perk at either Blizzard Beach Water Park or Typhoon Lagoon Water Park and only on your check-in day. To use this benefit, all visitors hoping to get into the water parks with complimentary admission MUST be listed on the hotel reservation. Wilderness Lodge Sounds pretty great huh? Free water park tickets! Well, Disney also states in there that they are based on availability, meaning if the park is closed for refurbishment or cold weather, you could be out of luck. The tickets are nontransferable. Blizzard Beach Disney also notes that both water parks have annual refurbishments, but they will continue to be staggered. The website says, “Guests should be able to enjoy at least one water park experience year-round.” You also do not get anything for not using the tickets, like a credit toward your vacation or a Disney gift card. Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach If both water parks are closed due to weather, this might leave folks disappointed, especially if they plan to arrive early to take advantage of the perk. If you book an early flight or arrive early at your hotel and find out the parks are closed, keep in mind your room might not be ready yet for you to relax in. If you are traveling in the colder months or during hurricane season, you might want to manage expectations and keep an eye on the weather. Typhoon Lagoon Of course, if you do arrive early and can’t take advantage of the perk, you can always relax at the hotel instead. Bell services can even hold your luggage for you! You can also take a trip over to Disney Springs for shopping or dining. For more Disney stories and news, be sure to follow DFB!
