Free Disney Water Park Tickets Make a Splash Again for Summer 2026
If your ideal Disney vacation includes a little theme park magic and a whole lot of floating around in a lazy river, get ready to soak up some seriously good news. Disney has confirmed that the fan-favorite free water park admission perk for Disney Resort hotel guests is officially returning for summer 2026, bringing back those blissful Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach days without dipping further into your budget.

This offer first made waves earlier this year, giving resort guests complimentary access to whichever water park was operating at the time. But next summer brings an even bigger upgrade. For the first time in over five years, both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach will be open at the same time starting May 21, 2025. That means more splashing, more slides, more wave pool time, and less having to choose between a tropical storm-tossed paradise and a snowstorm-themed oasis.

Before the pandemic, the two parks alternated seasons, with one always taking the spotlight while the other cooled off. Now, Disney is making it easier than ever for guests to pack swimsuits, sunscreen, and maybe a sense of adventure, because there’s going to be water park fun for everyone no matter when they visit.
