    Great, I was planning on using the free perk on Thursday, hopefully since it’s supposed somewhat chilly it won’t be too busy?

    This is why we need both parks open.

    Blizzard Beach has reached a phased closure and is only accepting WDW resort guests at this time. The parking lot is also at capacity and guests are being redirected to park at DAK.

    Great perk for check in days! Haha. That perk is a joke.

    It's Blizzard beach --it's supposed to be cold --this is discrimination against the polar bear club(sarcasm)
