Staying at a Disney World hotel provides guests with numerous benefits including early theme park entry and free transportation. One of the perks that is ending soon is complimentary access to Disney’s water parks on check-in day, which runs through September 8th 2026. Typhoon Lagoon will close for annual refurbishment starting September 9th while Blizzard Beach remains open during this period. The free water park entry perk will not be available after the end of Cool Kids Summer in late September. Disney has confirmed that both water parks will reopen by spring and summer of 2027 when the perk returns. Hotel guests should plan accordingly as this benefit is temporary until the refurbishment cycle completes.
