It has been a long time coming, but those with upcoming 2025 Disney World vacations can take advantage of a brand new free water park perk! Here is everything you need to know!

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

There are a lot of benefits when choosing to stay at a Disney World hotel during your vacation. Besides being closer to all the magic that Disney World has to offer, hotel guests can take free transportation all around the property, including monorails, the Skyliner, buses, and watercraft. Plus, all hotel guests, regardless of whether they choose to stay at a Value, Moderate, or Deluxe Resort, can participate in Early Theme Park Entry, which gets you into the parks 30 minutes before the general public. Another huge benefit is that Disney World hotel guests can purchase and book their Lightning Lane selections seven days prior to their arrival, whereas everyone else can only book three days in advance.

And now, a brand new hotel perk is available for those with Disney World hotel reservations in 2025! On your day of check-in, you and the party linked to your hotel reservation will each receive FREE admission to one of Disney World’s water parks!

While this perk is a great way to wait for your room to be ready, as check-in is typically not until 4PM at Disney World hotels, we will warn you that there is a downside to this perk. Disney states in there that tickets are based on availability, which means that if the park is closed for refurbishment or cold weather, you may not be able to use this perk. It is also important to note that the tickets are non-transferable.

Both water parks also have annual refurbishments, but Disney says they will continue to be staggered. The Disney World website says, “Guests should be able to enjoy at least one water park experience year-round.” If you choose not to use this perk, you do not get anything in exchange for not going to the water parks. Now, let’s get into how you can use this free perk!

The perk will automatically be loaded into your My Disney Experience account, and when you scan into the water park, it will be able to recognize your reservation. The ticket will show up under “Tickets and Passes” in the My Disney Experience app and is called “Resort Guest Water Park Arrival Day Benefit.”

Remember, this perk is only good on your check-in day. You do not need to be checked into your room for the perk to be recognized. The only requirement is that your reservation and everyone staying in your hotel room be properly linked through your My Disney Experience account.

If you plan to use this perk, we suggest arriving at Disney World earlier in the day, as the water parks tend to close earlier than the theme parks, especially during the winter season. We also suggest packing a bag with your swim gear all ready to go so that way you can head to the water park as soon as you drop off your luggage at your resort with Bell Services if you choose to do so. You do not have to worry about packing towels, as towels are complimentary for Disney World resort guests.
