Disney World ended free water-park admission on Sept. 9 for guests staying at participating resort hotels on their check-in day. The perk ran all through 2025 but only from May 26 to Sept. 9 in 2026; Disney says it will return in summer 2027.
Visitors can still buy a one-day water-park ticket for $74 before tax if over 10, or $68 for ages 3–9. A seasonal pass costs $89 plus tax ($83 for ages 3–9) and offers unlimited admission to Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach through May 15, 2027, with blackout dates Feb. 19–21 and March 20–28.
The summer 2027 perk will exclude campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. Disney has also raised prices for 2027 single-day tickets and dining plans, and for resort stays in March 2027, while offering discounts including up to 30% off select hotel rooms for most nights from May 1 to Oct. 4, 2026.
