Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park

Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park

Slip back in time to the Surfer Beach days, and this is the theme used at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. If you are looking for one of the most unique and lush Water Parks in the Country, Typhoon Lagoon is the one you want to visit. Florida residents can take advantage of continued access by getting a year-round pass and also get a discount just for living in the Sunshine State. Typhoon Lagoon Water Park is a great addition to any Family Vacation.

What can you expect at Typhoon Lagoon?

Start by walking through the ticket booths that look like beach huts with thatch roofs. One booth even looks like the wheelhouse of am old tugboat with the old curved smokestacks towering above. Disney has created a tropical paradise with paths leading through the water park covered with magnificent trees and foliage. The shade is abundant and brings beauty through the entire location. Keeping with true Disney fashion, Typhoon Lagoon is very colorful and laid out in a way that is very appealing to adults and kids alike.

A big surprise at the Wave Pool

In the distance, crashing waves can be heard from the tremendous Wave Pool at Disney Typhoon Lagoon. The Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool acts as the central hub to the water park and is a great place to set up for the day. The Typhoon Lagoon Wave Pool creates continuous fun for all of those who enter but is also designed very differently from any other wave pools you might have seen before.

Most Wave Pools have concrete walls that create the lining and a large tank that creates the instant dumping of water that creates the wave in the pool. Although the mechanism to create the wave works the same, the appearance is very different. It is designed to make you feel as if you are in a Tropical Lagoon with rock walls and waterfalls flowing down the banks. This alone makes for an experience that you do not get at any of the other water parks.

So many Water Slides at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park

Make your way around to the different Water Slides at Typhoon Lagoon for an incredible experience. A total of 16 major water slides to fit all of the different ages, heights, and extreme thrill levels are ready for you to give them a try. Whether you are interested in the most thrilling speed slide that drops over 5 stories and hits speeds of about 30 mph or a more gentle to the bottom in a tube, the perfect water slide can be found at Typhoon Lagoon. Don’t forget to take a ride on one of the exhilarating water coasters at the Crush ‘n’ Gusher area of the park.

What happened to Shark’s Reef?

Have you ever wanted to go snorkeling but you were a little nervous to get out in the big ocean and try it for the first time? Well, up until 2016, Disney Typhoon Lagoon used to offer this as one of their signature opportunities. Unfortunately, the Shark’s Reef at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is no longer in operation. It was very special though and many people miss this adventure. Can you imagine, entering a place where you can swim in a more controlled environment with tropical fish and even sharks?. When you would enter Shark’s Reef, you would see the large capsized vessel sitting in the middle of the attraction. For those who did not want to get in the water with the fish, Stingrays, and Sharks, they could safely look on through the portholes below. If snorkeling was what you were looking for, you could put on your snorkel gear, and jump right in. There is always hope that Disney will revive this feature one day at Typhoon Lagoon. We will have to wait and see.

Learn how to surf at Typhoon Lagoon

How many times have you been to the beach and have seen people out in the water, riding their surfboard and having a blast? Have you ever thought, “I sure would like to try that but I wouldn’t even know where to start”? Well, now you have no excuse, head on over to the Surf Lessons section of Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. It costs a little more to go to “Surf School” but it will be well worth it. You will have an experience that you do not find many other places. Having the Surfing Wave Pool to yourself, along with a few others who want the same experience will be a moment to remember. You will have a professional instructor walk you through the steps of getting up for the first time on a surfboard. Sounds fun right?

Castaway Creek Lazy River

A water park would not be fun without a Lazy River and that is precisely what you get when you enter Castaway Creek Lazy River. You have probably been to a lazy river before but this one might be a little different from what you are used to. Castaway Creek Lazy River is about 2,000 feet long, which is over 0.3 miles in length. Grab a tube and jump in with some friends and family to enjoy the park at a slower pace. No matter what your speed, most everyone enjoys the simple floating and tranquility that only a Lazy River can provide.

Ketchakiddee Creek – Kids Splash area water park

Kids will certainly have a blast at the Ketchakiddee Creek section of Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. So much for the smaller ones to do with water slides built just for them. The water play area has water fountain and sprinklers to keep them happy and safe while you enjoy your day watching them play.
