New Resort Perk for 2025 applies to DVC stays
Disney has announced a new resort stay benefit for 2025 bookings. Disney is offering complimentary water park admissions on guests' arrival day at a Disney resort. This perk will also apply to DVC member reservations on arrival day.
There is currently no indication how this benefit would be affected by a split stay at different resorts, or even at the same resort in a different room category.
More details will be available “later in 2024” according to the Disney website. 
Note that extra parks hours were also extended through 2025, including the deluxe evening hours which will still be available to DVC guests.
