Are you heading to Disney World this summer and want to make the absolute most of your vacation? Then it’s important to know ALL the perks you can get while you’re on your vacation!
Blizzard Beach
That’s where we come in! If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, there are a lot of perks you’ll want to take advantage of, such as Early Entry and Extended Evening Hours for those staying at Deluxe Resorts. However, in just one month, another MAJOR Disney World perk comes back for ALL hotel guests, and it’s one you won’t want to miss out on.
Disney World is home to two water parks — Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. For years, only one water park was open at a time while the other was under refurbishment. Last summer, though, both water parks were open at the same time for the summer, and the same is happening this summer! From May 26th to September 8th, you’ll be able to visit both water parks, and if you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, you can get a FREE day!
Typhoon Lagoon
If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel (with the exception of the Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort), you can get free entry to one of the water parks on your check-in day from May 26th to September 8th, 2026. Now, this is only available on your check-in day, not any other day of your visit, so our recommendation is that you fly or drive in as early as you can, and spend the entire day having fun at no additional cost to you!
Blizzard Beach
This perk just started in 2025, and it’s already been confirmed to be returning in 2027 as well, though the dates are not set in stone at this time. We’ll continue to update you as we learn more, but if you haven’t already made plans for your first day of vacation at Disney World this year, this may move up high on your list!
