Walt Disney World Resort has confirmed that this year’s free water park admission offer for resort hotel guests will return for summer 2026.
Free Water Park Tickets in 2026 for Disney Resort Hotel Guests
Alongside the announcement of a free kids’ dining plan for 2026, Walt Disney World also confirmed that Disney Resort hotel guests would once again be able to enjoy free water park admission on their check-in day next summer. Full dates have not yet been shared.
This offer was first introduced this year, allowing guests to visit either Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach water park, depending on which one was in operation. Since then, Disney has announced that both water parks will operate at the same time starting May 21, 2025.
This marks the first time that both water parks have operated simultaneously in over five years. Each water park would have a brief closure during the year, but neither would completely alternate operations until the COVID-19 pandemic.
Guests can begin booking their 2026 Walt Disney World vacations starting Tuesday, April 22, for travel dates through October 31, 2026. Bookings for November and December 2026 will open at a later date.
