It's a great benefit for me. I have the Pixie Dust pass and usually check in on Sundays. Something I can do since I'm blocked out of the parks over the weekend.

Haven’t they been doing this for about 2 years?

Yeah, this is a great perk. Only downside is the water parks will probably be busy now haha.

It's been planned for that long.

Water “park”

There is never more than 1

It's a perk for a very small segment of their customers (which is why they offered it). If too many people take advantage of it, the perk will go away.

It will never work for us, because we fly down after the school day is over.

It would never work for us, because we also fly and don't take 5am flights, nor do we drive. Nor are we local and can show up at 8am to check in.

It's also an excellent perk for the split-stayers, but it's overall it's not very practical.

With is par for the course for almost every discount or perk they try to get people to stay in the bubble

Not the way it used to be

The “non-perk” perks is indicative of the “brave new world” strategy since roughly 2018

I'm just reacting to @wdwmagic's post from today.

So if you check in after 4pm, you’re basically out of luck. Good to know.

Well, since every person going to Orlando is going to EU. People can begrudgingly add a day or two for WDW. And when they move from EU to WDW in the morning, they'll get a free water park day!!

Who says they are going to move resorts. If my vacation is mostly Universal I'm staying at a Universal resort and driving over to WDW for a day or 2.

Thinking of doing a quick trip with my youngest, probably just two nights and doing an after hours event and think this could be a good extra thing to do for our arrival day.

Looking at July and water park probably open until 8pm so even if we wind up not getting to the water park until 3 or 4pm still a few hours which is probably plenty of time.

Would just hang at the hotel or go to Disney Springs most likely anyway so a couple of house is just a bonus anyway

It's not something that would motivate doing a trip but something I could see us moving to a slightly earlier flight to take advantage of

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Also doing a parents only trip for Destination D23 and hoping to do a short stay at Universal before hand to do a day at Epic, so could see taking advantage on this on our transfer day from Universal to Disney property

That’s why I’m confused…wonder why the long lead time?

Anyone else think they might fly in a day earlier and stay offsite for a night to get this perk? Original plan was to fly in on a Saturday morning and not go to the park that day. New plan might be fly in Friday night. Stay at a cheap hotel near Disney World. Hit the water park around noon on "check in" day?

A hotel for an extra night costs more than the perk.
