As soon as you see this magical sign, you know you’re in for a good time. Whether you’re daydreaming about a trip to Disney World or have a trip (or three) booked for 2025, you’re going to want to listen up. There’s an important change going into effect on January 1st!

Earlier this year, Disney announced a brand-new perk for people visiting Disney World in 2025. Now, not everyone qualifies for this perk, but if you’re planning a trip to Disney World, this might be an important factor to keep in mind!
Disney announced a new hotel perk for 2025 hotel stays! If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel in 2025, you will get FREE admission to one of the water parks, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park or Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, on your check-in day included in their stay.

Note that this perk is only available for those with check-in dates between January 1st and December 31st, 2025. Disney also added the classic caveats, so know the perk is also subject to availability.

That said, if you’re hoping to get into the water parks with complimentary admission, it should be automatically listed on your hotel reservation. This perk is also available for Disney Vacation Club stays.

Oh, and we have one more important update for 2025. Disney has updated its cancelation policy for 2025. If you’re booking a 2025 stay, room-only reservations can be canceled without penalty until eight days before arrival. The rule was previously five days, so this is slightly less time.

Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours — two of our favorite Disney hotel perks — will be continuing in 2025 as well. Take advantage of those sweet benefits!

If you’re looking for a travel agent to help with your vacation, we recommend our friends at Mouse Fan Travel. They’re experts in the field with over 20 years of vacation planning experience, and they can help take a bunch of the stress out of the entire booking process for you!
