Free 1 day water park on arrival

Yes, very useful to know it extends for 3 days. The FB poster I referenced only said she was able to juggle her park days to reschedule her waterpark days and was happy.

That’s good to hear although not everyone will be able to do that now since someone could have date based tickets and the first day starts after the water park day.

It will be interesting to hear if people change their arrival day booking habits- do they book a cheap Disney hotel and then move to the more expensive one? Do they lean into a late arrival and spend the night at the airport or an off-site hotel to secure water park access? I can see that happening when the weather warms up.

Whelp, this is exactly what I just did. Booked a night at POFQ before our GFV rez in March. We'll have beignets for breakfast, check out, and head to a waterpark for the day while waiting for our GFV room to be ready. The kids love the water parks, and we haven't been able to go on the past few visits.

We would certainly use the perk, but are patiently waiting for an opening date for Typhoon Lagoon - definitely prefer to spend our day there than Blizzard Beach.

We are going in late March and it still says the water park open is BB. When we went at this time 2 years ago, they had already switched to TL. Kids love TL and the wave pool. They'll be happy to go to a water park, but a little bummed its not TL.

Our plan is to go to the wdw resort first thing in the morning, check our bags and head to the water park! Looks to work out well!

This is our plan too.
We arrive Sat at 10pm -sleep at the Hyatt Mco
Sun- drive to BC and check in/ head to water park at opening

This will be fun! I'm glad Disney has added this perk. I'm also hoping that it will free up the pool loungers a little as some like to spend the day at the pool on arrival or check out. We definitely do!

The free waterpark admission made booking a post cruise stay a no brainer, even if we just go for a few hours, I don't feel like I've lost anything substantial because it's bundled into the price.
