Staying at a Disney World hotel comes with multiple different perks — complimentary transportation around the resort, Early Entry to any of the four theme parks each day, and if you’re staying at a Deluxe Resort, you can enjoy Extended Evening Hours on select dates.

Typhoon Lagoon

This summer, though, there’s been an additional perk added for anyone staying at any of the Disney World hotels, and it’s been a great way to beat the heat. If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, you get FREE admission to one of Disney World’s two water parks on the day of your check-in. The catch? You’ve only got ONE more month to use the perk before it’s gone!

This perk is available for those staying at a Disney World hotel from May 26th to September 8th, 2026, and you get the choice to visit either Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon. Every person in your group who’s on the hotel reservation will have the free water park perk, so it’s a great way to kick off your trip in a fun way that comes at no extra cost to you!

Blizzard Beach

It can only be used on your check-in day, though, which is something important to keep in mind. It’s not able to be transferred to another day, so it’s a use it or lose it situation! The perk started in 2025, and we do know it’ll make a return in the summer of 2027, though specific dates haven’t been confirmed yet. It’s also important to note that you can choose which water park to go to, unless one is closed for refurbishment — in that case, your ticket will only be valid at the one that’s open.
