Disney World’s Free Water Park Perk Returns in Summer 2026

A Disney World perk is returning next year on a limited basis. In summer 2026, guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel can visit a water park for free on their check-in day. The same offer is available to hotel guests throughout 2025. Here’s Disney’s announcement.

“Coming back in summer 2026, Disney Resort hotel guests can get free water park admission on their check-in day (subject to availability). Additional details, including specific dates, will be shared at a later time. ”

The popularity of the free water park perk has spurred Disney to operate both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach at the same time this summer. It sounds like we might be treated to more of the same in 2026.
