Walt Disney World regularly offers discounts to help guests save money on their vacations, but it does not often give things away completely for free. However, for vacations in 2025, Disney is doing just that.
Guests arriving between Jan.1 and Dec. 31, 2025, can catch a wave at one of Disney’s water parks — Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park or Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park — for free on their check-in day. Instead of waiting until the second day of your trip to start the fun, now you can start as soon as you arrive at Disney.
Tickets to Disney’s water parks usually cost $74 plus tax for adults and $68 plus tax for kids ages 3 to 9. (Kids under 3 are free at all Disney World parks.) With this special offer, a visit to one of Disney’s water parks is included in your stay.
This splashy perk is only available to guests staying at Disney Resort hotels, which includes all official Disney World hotels. However, the offer does not extend to third-party hotels like the Disney Springs hotels, the Marriott-operated Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels or Shades of Green.

Free water park admission is one of many benefits that Disney World’s on-site hotel guests can enjoy next year.
Disney Resort hotel guests can enter any of Disney’s theme parks 30 minutes before the posted opening time each day. Plus, guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts can enjoy extra nighttime hours in a specific park on select nights with Disney’s extended evening hours benefit. Disney confirmed that both of these perks will continue through 2025.
If this new perk sounds so good that you want to book your 2025 Disney World vacation today, you can: 2025 Disney World hotel bookings and theme park tickets are on sale now. You can book your stay directly through Disney’s website or use one of our trusted authorized Disney vacation planners to ensure you get the best prices. They will help you take advantage of special offers like this one.
Disney will release more details later this year, and guests with a 2025 stay will receive more information on utilizing this benefit via email before their arrival. You can view the details currently available on Disney’s website.
