This Disney World Park Upgrade Costs $49 But Is Totally Worth It

Shelling out cash for worthwhile upgrades at Disney World can occasionally be the right move.

We’re always recommending ways to save money at Disney World, but sometimes you gotta go big or go home. Disney World offers tons of upgrades, but one in particular might just be worth its price tag and more.

If you’ve ever been to either Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon at Disney World, you might have come across an uncomfortable problem — finding a spot to leave your stuff and relax isn’t super obvious!

Water parks can be tricky, as they require you to leave some stuff behind while you enjoy them. Fortunately, the Disney water parks offer umbrella/seating areas that you can rent. These areas generally cost between $49 and $99 and include perks like umbrellas, towels, lounge chairs, and sand chairs.

Blizzard Beach

We’re fans of this upgrade, as it’s wonderful to be able to leave your stuff in a dedicated area. You don’t have to worry about fighting for a spot since you’ve rented one, and you also get a nice and shaded area to have lunch and relax while you’re in between the fun of the slides and pools! The best part is that this upgrade is valid all day.

At Blizzard Beach, the polar patios are real pricey, but the Lodge Umbrellas are surprisingly affordable and can fit up to four guests. Advanced reservations are tightly recommended.

Disney World hotel perks now include water park admission on check-in day, so since you’re saving money on admission, paying for this upgrade doesn’t seem so bad on the wallet. To learn more about these rentals, visit the Disney World website.
