News Walt Disney World Adds Water Park Perk for 2025 Resort Guests

[nickys]

It's frustrating because it is a perk that not every single Resort Guest can use.
Late arrivals.
Cold temperatures.
Water parks that close early.
Water parks closed for capacity.

And???

Does that mean they should only offer a perk if every guest can make use of it?

Fair enough.

Probs just bothered because I can't use it

The Disney TP ain't anything to be bragging about.

Maybe in 2026, they can imprint the $ sign in the TP for some added Magic. I understand Iger uses $20 bills since he has no use for such a small denomination otherwise.

Probably not - too thin.

This one works for us this year. We always take the first flight out to avoid delays and thunderstorms so get to the hotel by like 10am and usually do the hotel pool and dis springs. This year we have the less cool pool because we’ll be at Pop and not CBR so the kids will be excited to do a water park. I’m not a huge water park person and wouldn’t pay extra for it but it’s fun as an extra. I was also going to buy an extra day to go into Epcot on arrival and this is better for the wallet.

I’m not sure how accurate this is but, I read elsewhere that since Mousekeeping cast member numbers have dropped since Covid, it’s harder for Disney to quickly turn rooms over. So the lobbies have essentially become waiting rooms, overcrowded with people and luggage. So giving people something to do on their arrival day, instead just hanging around the lobby, could be one of factors of this perk

I didn't experience that in October nor December (both times at Pop).

In fact, I tried to stop mousekeeping. I called room services. I told a housekeeper. I physically went to the front desk. I had to waive off another housekeeper. And they still kept coming.

I was thinking it might increase traffic to Disney springs. Thinking about arrival day and it will only make sense to eat there as it’s on the same bus loop as Typhoon Lagoon.
