Of all the Cool Kids Summer perks I experienced at Disney World, the free water park ticket on check-in day was easily my favorite!
Honestly, I think Iāve been underestimating Typhoon Lagoon.
I always thought of it as something you could do if you had an extra day. After actually spending the day there, I totally get why youād make time for it.
It gives you a completely different pace than a park day without feeling like youāre just hanging out at the hotel pool. You can spend the day getting absolutely destroyed by the wave pool š, get your thrills on all the water slides, float the lazy river, or relax with sand and sunshine with a drink in hand š¹.
And because itās Disney, you can still get some special character encounters and fun photo ops sprinkled in!
Typhoon Lagoon will be closing for refurbishment after the summer, but Blizzard Beach will still be open if a water park day sounds like your kind of Disney vacation!
I really hope Disney brings this perk back next year because I LOVED it. But offer or no offer, you can definitely catch me at a Disney water park on future trips!
