In 2025 (and now also in 2026), Disney hotel guests get a free ticket to one of the water parks on the day they check in. This is a great deal because it is FREE and this summer, both water parks will be open together! It’s been a long time since we’ve seen both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach open at the same time, but from May 21 to September 7, 2025, they will both be open. But, before you grab your bathing suit and sunscreen, there are some things you should know.

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

1. Extra Costs 

While your ticket is free, you’ll need to buy food and drinks while there. Trust us, there are some great snacks to be found here. You might also need to purchase other items ahead of time like bathing suit, sunscreen, water shoes, etc. Thse are things to keep in mind when you are planning to use this perk.

2. Disney Transportation Issues

If you are taking transportation from Disney hotel to travel to the water parks, you’ll likely have to transfer buses. While there are a few hotels with direct buses, most of them you will have to take one bus somewhere else and then grab another bus to head to your final destination. For example, you might head to Disney Springs for Typhoon Lagoon and Disney’s Animal Kingdom for Blizzard Beach.

3. Full Capacity

The water parks can hit capacity and we have actually seen this happen. If it does you might need to pivot on your plans. This summer while both water parks are open, it is less likely to happen, but we won’t be surprised if it does.

4. Weather

With summer approaching, that means that daily storms is right around the corner. The summer storms could close down parts of the water park. While it is far away, when it gets into colder months, the water parks can close. If the parks due close due to weather, the ticket cannot be transferred to another date.
