Walt Disney World said this afternoon that it has decided to offer free admission to travelers stuck in Orlando, as flights to and from Europe continue to be canceled because of an erupting volcano in Iceland.

Disney said it will offer one-day park hoppers on both Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The complimentary passes will also include admission to Disney’s two water parks.

Guests seeking the ticket will have to show a canceled plane ticket or expired boarding pass and a photo ID. Disney says it will also waive its $14-per-day parking charge.

Disney follows SeaWorld Orlando, which began offering free tickets to stranded travelers on Sunday. The International Drive water park Wet ‘n Wild is also offering free admission.

UPDATE: In addition, Universal Orlando is offering free one-day admission to both of its theme parks through Wednesday. The resort is also offering guests currently staying in one of its three on-site hotels the chance to remain at their rooms at 50 percent off the regular rates. And Universal says it is not charging cancellation fees for those who booked through Universal’s in-house vacation package company and whose planes have been disrupted by the ongoing eruption.

Disney World also says it is offering Florida Resident discount hotel rates to travelers impacted by the volcano.
