Among the blazing sun of Florida, near Orlando, there is a place where a hot day turns into a tropical adventure, and every drop of water is part of a great legend. Disney's Typhoon Lagoon, one of the two water parks of the world-famous Walt Disney World resort, impresses not only with its scale — it captivates with its storyline. After all, this is not just water attractions, but an entire world where a storm has left behind chaotically scattered boats, debris, and a ship trapped on the top of a mountain.
Typhoon Lagoon is a manifestation of the resort's idea of surviving a natural disaster. According to legend, this was once a perfect paradise island until a typhoon struck. Now, the Miss Tilly ship towers on Mount Mayday, occasionally spouting water fountains — a reminder of the storm that has passed. But instead of ruins, there is incredible beauty: palms, tropical thickets, bamboo wooden houses, "scattered" fishing gear, and an atmosphere that transports you to a cinematic adventure.
The park's main jewel — Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool, a giant wave pool where water rises up to 1.8 meters. Here, you can not only "catch a wave," but also sign up for a real surfing lesson at dawn or after sunset — a unique opportunity for thrill-seekers.
For those who love extreme sports, there is Crush ‘n’ Gusher — a "water roller coaster" with steep turns, sharp descents, and breathtaking speed. And if you are with family — an ideal option is Miss Adventure Falls: a fun group rafting with waterfalls and a moving lift, which adds adrenaline even for the youngest visitors.
For complete relaxation, there is Castaway Creek — a slow "lazy river" where you can float on an inflatable ring past caves, streams, waterfalls, and lush greenery. An ideal place to catch your breath after adventures.
And the smallest guests will find joy in Ketchakiddee Creek — a children's zone with mini-slides, fountains, and shallow pools, where safety and fun go hand in hand.
In addition to experiences, Typhoon Lagoon will take care of your comfort. Lockers, towel rentals, shaded loungers, cozy cabanas — everything so you can fully enjoy your vacation. Also, restaurants with cool drinks, snacks, ice cream, and light meals, as well as shops with beachwear and souvenirs that you will want to take home.
