When in Orlando be sure to check out Typhoon Lagoon water park. Slow and steady wins the race! Or at least in the case of Castaway Creek, one of the many attractions at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon. Float aimlessly along the 2,000 foot river from the comfort of your personal inner tube. Sit back, relax and admire the scenery ranging from exquisite waterfalls to picturesque rainforests. However, if a thrill is more your forte, Humunga Kowabunga will be right up your alley! Face your fares of the dark while holding onto your hats as you whizz down the 214 foot slide at a 60-degree angle.
Are you stuck with a sweet tooth? Grab a shovel and some friends and head over to Happy Landings for a pail, (yes we mean a bucket) filled with soft serve ice-cream! Go nuts on the Coconut Crusher, one of three fruit themed waterslides or grab a raft and brace yourself to be propelled by jets through dips, twists and turns until you land in Hideaway Bay. Then have a bite to eat at Typhoon Tilly’s - we hear their Barbecued Pork Sandwhich is to-die-for!
All aboard! Take the family for a group ride at Gangplank Falls, a 300ft waterslide featuring massive waterfalls, wooden bridges and rocky caverns. You’re sure to get wet as the four-person inner tube spins and knocks you gently along the sides of the falls. If you’re more into soaking up the rays, rent one of the Beachcomber Shacks, a reserved area for you and five pals to relax from the comfort of cushioned seating with refillable mugs and a fully stocked cooler.
Go for a dip in Typhoon Lagoon’s Shark Reef and swim along side exotic sea creatures such as bonnethead sharks, stingrays and reef fish. Perhaps you’ll meet Finding Nemo’s Dory amongst the schools of blue tangs. If you’d prefer to go deeper, stop by Hammer Head Fred’s Dive Shop and get suited up with a Supplied-Air Snorkeling system.
Hang loose as you shred the waves in the world’s largest outdoor wave pool. You and twenty-four other guests will have the opportunity to show off your gnarly surfing skills during your surf session! Wave pool creates weaves which may reach to heights of six feet! Don’t miss out on this opportunity for a wet and wild day!
