ALERT! This MAJOR Disney World Hotel Perk Is Coming Back in 2026

Get ready to make a splash because this major Disney World perk is coming back in 2026!

Disney World

When you’re planning a vacation of a lifetime, you want to make sure you’re taking advantage of everything you can for your Disney World trip, and this perk is one you don’t want to miss.

Returning for summer 2026, Disney Resort hotel guests get free water park admission on their check-in day. You heard that right, totally free!

Typhoon Lagoon

On the day you check into your resort, your entire party, registered in the room, gets to head to Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach for free.

Let’s go tubing!

This free water park entry is only on the day of check-in, which is perfect since most guests don’t plan on buying a theme park ticket for a partial day.

Additional details, including specific dates, will be announced soon, but we can’t wait to take a dive in the water.

Ski Lift at Blizzard Beach

Previously, only one water park was open at a time, but from May 21st to September 7th, both Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon will be open. Double the water slide power!

Quincy and Lagoona Gator

Also coming in 2026 is another free perk! Kids ages 3 to 9 get a Disney World dining plan for free. All you need to do is stay at a Disney Resort and purchase a dining plan for other members of the party.

All the eats!

You can leave your bags at the luggage counter at your resort, enjoy an afternoon at the water parks, and end the day with dinner at Disney Springs or at your resort, all included with your Disney Dining Plan. Sounds like a perfect day to us!
