You can't buy a day at Evermore. The resort's FAQ says Evermore Bay is for registered overnight guests of Evermore and the Conrad Orlando beside it, and that day passes are not available. Guests rent the cabanas and beach daybeds around the bay for an extra fee. A non-guest can book dinner at Twin View or the Conrad's restaurants, a tee time at Grand Cypress Golf, or a treatment at the Conrad's spa. ResortPass sells a manicure and pedicure with spa access there from $215 for adults, plus a 22% service charge, which gets you a hot tub and a cold plunge and none of the lagoon.

The bay isn't heated, if you were weighing a night there for it. Evermore gives the water as mid to upper 60s from December through March, the 70s in April, May and November, and the 80s from June through October.

If it was the sand you wanted

The Dolphin and the Swan share a white-sand beach, and ResortPass sells a White Sand Beach pass there from $40 for adults and $25 for children. It also opens the resort's six pools, among them a grotto pool with waterfalls and a slide. Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress has a half-acre lagoon pool with 12 waterfalls and a swim-through grotto, and its day-pass page describes a white-sand beach on a 21-acre lake. Adults pay from $40 there and children 3 to 12 from $15.

Forty-two of the 69 hotels we looked up on 8 October 2026, on their own sites and on ResortPass and Dayuse, will sell a non-guest a pool day. Several hotel sites blocked us, and for 10 of the 69 we couldn't get an answer either way. ResortPass shows a starting price, and that's what we quote, so expect to pay at least that on the day.

The water-park days

Gaylord Palms sells Cypress Springs through ResortPass from $40 for anyone 13 and over and $20 for children 4 to 12. That covers the Crystal River Rapids, two Tamiami racing slides, a three-level tree house with four small slides, and both pools, which are heated. The park opens 8:30am to 10pm, but the slides stop at 6pm. Gaylord's own page on Marriott's site calls Cypress Springs an amenity exclusive to resort guests, which doesn't square with ResortPass selling it. Ask the front desk whether they'll honor a pass before you promise anyone slides.

The Grove in Winter Garden sells its own Surfari water park day on its booking site: $40 for 12 October when we looked, against ResortPass's from-$50 adult price. That gets you a 695-foot lazy river, two slides, a heated zero-entry pool and a splash pad, with self-parking free. Bring towels, because it doesn't hand them out, and the FlowRider costs extra.

JW Marriott Grande Lakes has a quarter-mile lazy river, the three-slide Headwaters tower, a heated lagoon pool and the Splash Cove play area. ResortPass prices adults 18 and over from $89 and children 3 to 17 from $69. The Family Pass for two adults and two children is from $275, Monday to Friday only. The slide tower runs 11am to 5pm. ResortPass puts parking at $42 a car to self-park and $58 for valet, so a family weekday here starts above $300. The Ritz-Carlton next door shares the water park, but its ResortPass Pool Pass, from $89 for anyone 13 and over, lists only the Ritz's own Solaire pool.

CoCo Key sells water-park tickets on its own website for well under the from-$40 price ResortPass shows for it. A weekday pass was $17.99 on 8 October for anyone 36 inches or taller, and children under 36 inches go free. The weekend after ran $23 to $26, and the resort adds $15 a car for parking. You get 14 slides and rides in a 54,000-square-foot park, about half of it under a canopy.

Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate has what ResortPass calls Orlando's only resort wave pool, with an 850-foot lazy river beside it. A day there is from $40 for anyone 13 and over and $20 for children 3 to 12. The afternoon pass from 4pm is from $25 and $15, but ResortPass says the wave pool and the family pool's slide close at 7pm and doesn't list the wave pool among what the afternoon pass includes, so ask before you buy it for the waves. ResortPass lists free self-parking with both passes.

Lazy rivers for $30 or less

Hilton Orlando's Family Pass, from $75 for two adults and two children, is $13 less than four single tickets, and it gets you an 892-foot lazy river with free tubes and a main pool with a winding slide. Single passes are from $25 for anyone 13 and over and $19 for children 3 to 12, good from 10am to 11pm. Anyone 18 or over can also use the adults-only pool. The listing says only that parking is available for a fee.

Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace has the Float Lagoon, a river you walk into like a beach. Overnight guests get inner tubes with the resort charge, but the ResortPass listing doesn't say a day guest gets one. The hotel's FAQ says the pool is kept at 82 to 85 degrees. A pass costs from $30 for anyone 13 and over and $15 for children. Skip the Family Pass. At $130 for two adults and two children it costs $40 more than buying the four tickets separately. ResortPass prints $35 a car for parking, and the hotel caps how many people it lets in and turns away coolers.

Signia by Hilton at Bonnet Creek sells its lazy river and waterslide from $40 for anyone 13 and over and $20 for children, on a day pass that runs 9am to 6pm. An Afternoon Pass covers 4pm to 10pm from $20 and $10, with parking at $25, but ResortPass says the slide's hours are subject to change, so ask what's open after 6pm before you pick it. Children can ride the slide from 40 inches in a life jacket, and from 48 inches without one.

Pool days from $15

At Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista a day costs from $15 a person, adults and children alike, for two pools that are heated in season and a kids' splash pad, open 7am to 11pm. There's no river. Buy the Family Pass, from $50 for two adults and two children, because it includes parking, while the single pass's page lists both free parking and $35 a car.

The cheapest single ticket into the Swan and Dolphin's six pools is the Dolphin Lap Pool pass at the Dolphin: from $20 for adults and $5 for children 3 to 17, slide and grotto included. Two adults and two children do better on the Family Pass, from $45 against $50 in singles. The Dolphin Lap Pool, Cabana Pool Deck and Family Pass pages knock parking down to $15, and without a pass the Swan and Dolphin bill a visitor $40 plus tax every time you drive out.

DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Theme Park Resort, the old DoubleTree at SeaWorld, sells a day from $25 for adults and $15 for children with parking included, and a Daycation for four from $80 that takes 15% off at the pool bar. Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld sells its pool and the R Aqua Zone splash park from $20, two days in a row from $30, and two adults and two children from $65. ResortPass also sells a shaded daybed there with four day passes from $99.

ResortPass lists at least 17 more Orlando pools at $15 to $30, mostly mid-size hotels around Lake Buena Vista and Kissimmee, and a handful from $40 to $85, the Waldorf Astoria's $70 day among them. Read Rosen Shingle Creek's from-$25 pass twice: ResortPass shows free parking, and Rosen's own site charges anyone parked on the property $36 plus tax.

Who won't sell you a day

None of Disney's own resorts sells a pool day. Disney's own planning site answers that only registered resort guests may use the pools, and that covers the volcano pool at the Polynesian and the beach pool at the Grand Floridian. The Four Seasons keeps its pools and the Explorer Island water park for registered guests, except for its private residents and golf and sports club members on select dates. Drury Plaza by Disney Springs keeps its amenities for registered guests and the people staying with them.

We found no day pass at any of Universal's hotels, Cabana Bay and Helios Grand included, on their own sites or on ResortPass or Dayuse. Their pages do publish day-guest parking, $53 plus tax at Cabana Bay and Portofino Bay and $125 plus tax at Helios, but none of them says a day guest can use the pool.

When the hotel and ResortPass disagree

At three resorts the hotel's own site says outright that its pools are for guests while ResortPass sells a day there anyway. Gaylord Palms is the first, above. ResortPass sells a day at Fantasy World in Kissimmee, with its 789-foot heated lazy river, from $20. The resort's FAQ says its amenities are for registered resort guests only. At Wyndham Grand at Bonnet Creek, ResortPass sells a Limited Day Pass from $30 that leaves out the lazy rivers, the splash pad, the pirate ship and the other pools, while the hotel's FAQ says only registered or Club Wyndham guests with wristbands may use the pools. The JW's and the Ritz-Carlton's own pages lean the same way without saying it. We can't tell you which way the front desk will go. Call before you pay, and keep the confirmation.

What a family of four pays

Two adults and two children at Hilton Lake Buena Vista pay from $50 on the Family Pass, parking included. The same four at Buena Vista Palace pay from $90 in tickets plus $35 to park, $125 in all, for the Float Lagoon. At the JW the Family Pass and self-parking come to $317 before lunch, and that's the weekday floor.

Hilton Lake Buena Vista's Family Pass is the one we'd buy with children. For the Float Lagoon, Buena Vista Palace on single tickets beats its own family deal. CoCo Key is the slide day, at under $20 a head on a weekday, and The Grove is the one with a river and slides for $40 with parking free.

A night at Evermore or the Conrad beside it is still the only way onto the bay. For a cheaper room near the parks, start with tonight's Disney World area deals. Tampa Bay and Miami have day-pass lists of their own.
