We are checking in mid February and don't have plans to visit the water park that day(one reason being we rarely visit the water parks and if we do, it's with our son, who is not joining us on this trip, and two - we are from NY and in February anything is warmer than what we have going on here but we don't love the waterslides THAT much!)...long story short - I just got an email today from Disney Destinations regarding a survey about our upcoming trip. There were several questions relating to the water parks on arrival day...if we knew it was included, if we would take advantage of the "perk" and why or why not, along with a few others I can't recall. Thought that was very interesting.
