Short answer: A 1-Day Disney Water Park Ticket costs $79 for ages 10 and up and $69 for ages 3 to 9, before tax, at Disney's ticket store (checked October 22, 2026). A version with blockout dates is $69 and $59. The same ticket gets you into Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach, whichever is open. Right now Typhoon Lagoon is closed for refurbishment (since September 9, 2026) and Disney has announced it reopens January 27, 2027, so through late January your water park day will be at Blizzard Beach (Walt Disney World).
Typhoon Lagoon is one of Disney World's two water parks, and it's famous for North America's largest wave pool. In 2018 it drew about 2.27 million visitors, making it one of the most visited water parks in the world. Here's what tickets cost for 2026–2027, the cheapest ways to get in, and what to know before you go.
Not right now. Disney refurbishes each water park every year and staggers the closures so at least one is open (weather permitting).
If your heart is set on Typhoon Lagoon for a spring 2027 trip, it should be open by then — see our Typhoon Lagoon reopening date guide for seasonal pass prices and tips. Still check Disney's Typhoon Lagoon calendar about six weeks before you go.
Water park admission is separate from a regular theme park ticket. A standard 1-day or Park Hopper ticket doesn't include the water parks. Here are your options (Disney's ticket store, before tax, checked October 22, 2026):
Kids under 3 are free. Some Disney pages still list older prices of $74 and $68, so go by the price you see at checkout.
When both are open, Typhoon Lagoon is the better pick for families who love a wave pool and a long lazy river. Blizzard Beach is better for thrill-seekers who want big slides like Summit Plummet. Your water park ticket works at either one, so you can pick on the day. Until Typhoon Lagoon reopens, Blizzard Beach is your only Disney water park option.

The park is built around the wave pool, with Castaway Creek looping around the outside. When it reopens, these are the attractions Disney lists:
Is Shark Reef still open? No. Shark Reef closed for good in 2016, and Miss Adventure Falls took its place.

Disney runs separate surf sessions in the wave pool outside regular park hours. They cost extra and aren't offered while the park is closed. Disney's surfing page says to check back in 2027. You can also rent lockers, umbrellas and private cabanas. Towels and life jackets are free.
Standard parking at Disney's water parks is free, first come, first served. That's a nice break from the theme park parking fee. If you're staying at a Disney Resort hotel, free Disney buses serve the water parks, though some routes may require a transfer, so check My Disney Experience for your resort. Typhoon Lagoon is also close to Disney Springs.
Typhoon Lagoon has only quick-service food, including Typhoon Tilly's, Leaning Palms and Happy Landings Ice Cream. Menus change, so check Disney's site when the park reopens. You're allowed to bring your own food and a cooler. Disney's water park rules ban glass, alcohol and loose or dry ice, but reusable ice packs are fine. Lockers are available for your bags.
$79 for ages 10 and up and $69 for ages 3 to 9, before tax, at Disney's ticket store on October 22, 2026. Blockout-date tickets are $69 and $59. Kids under 3 are free.
Not in late 2026. It closed for refurbishment on September 9, 2026, and reopens January 27, 2027. Blizzard Beach is the open Disney water park until then.
