How are the crowds at the water parks now that they are both open?

The free waterpark entry on arrival day resulted in the it reaching capacity back in April and people turned away. I’m wondering, with both water parks open, are the waterparks still reaching capacity? And are the lines miserably long in the afternoon? TIA!

People were not turned away if they arrived via Disney transportation. The parking lots, however, did fill to capacity and if you drove in, you were turned away. We won’t be there til the end of August so can’t answer how busy it’s been with both open.

There were days that hotel guests were turned away at entry, not at parking, but that was before both water parks were open.

For example:

But my question is more general. How are crowds at the waterparks now that both are open? Would love to hear from those who have been there in the past few weeks when Disney opened up both BB and TL. And curious to find out if they are both equally full.

We were just at TL on Friday and didn't feel it was too crowded. We waited maybe 10 minutes for most of the slides. Miss Adventure Falls might have been slightly longer. We had no issues finding chairs and no problem with food lines being long or having to wait in the changing areas/bathrooms. I wish they were keeping this perk into 2026!

Thank you! That sounds very promising!

Disney has announced that this check-in day perk will be available in 2026 but limited to a Summer run vs starting in January 2026. They have not yet defined the specific date range so stay tuned for details.

When did you arrive at TL?
