One of the best parts of staying at an official Disney World hotel is taking advantage of the exclusive perks reserved just for on-site guests. But if you have an upcoming vacation, heads up that one popular hotel perk is ending next week!

In recent years, Disney introduced a perk that gave guests staying at official Disney Resort hotels FREE water park admission on their check-in date, valid for select arrival windows.

The Free Water Park Entry Perk allows guests to jump right into vacation mode at either Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach on the first day of their trip, at no extra cost. It’s a popular benefit for guests who have an early arrival but are still hesitant to spend money on a park ticket for a partial day.

But if you’ve got your heart set on taking advantage of this perk, heads up — this year’s Free Water Park Entry perk is only valid from May 26th to September 8th, 2026, so it will be ending next week! Following the last day of the perk, Typhoon Lagoon will be closing for an annual refurbishment on September 9th, 2026.

Even though the perk is wrapping up for the year, Disney has confirmed that Free Water Park Entry WILL return in 2027! According to the Disney World website, “This benefit will also be available for Guests staying at an eligible Resort hotel in summer 2027, excluding the Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort.”
