And anyone heading to Disney World next year will be able to visit both of the waterparks without paying a penny.
The Orlando theme park is home to two - Typhoon Lagoon Water Park and Blizzard Beach Water Park.
Both of the waterparks are the most visited in the world, only behind Chimelong Water Park in China.
Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel will be offered free admission to either of the waterparks, no matter what kind of room or suite they book.

The offer is for anyone staying between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025, and can be booked from February 27 this year.
Tickets can cost as much as $69 (£55) per person, so families could save as much as £220.
The only catch is you have to visit on the day you check into your hotel - so make sure to have your swimming costume at the ready.
Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, which first opened in 1989, is set to reopen on March 17 this year after closing last October for refurbishment.
