This is the ultimate "lazy river!" There's so much I love about the one here at Typhoon Lagoon and the one at Blizzard Beach. They are both the same, but oh so different. It's just impossible for me to say which one I love more! I love them both equally!
I'm not into all the water slides as much as my daughters are. I'm perfectly content to grab a tube and float on this river all day long. Ahhhh.... total relaxation!
Disney does such a great job with all of their theming. There's so many cool things to look at and new things to see as you go round and round river. There are cold mists that randomly shoot out at you which is actually very nice on a hot Florida day. There are beautiful waterfalls to see and you even get to go through a tunnel. Very cool stuff.
This lazy river is 2,000 feet long (yep, it's a long one) and circles the entire Typhoon Lagoon Park. There are 5 different places where you can grab a tube and enter the river (or exit the river). The tubes do not cost extra and are included with the price of admission. Imagine that, something Disney doesn't charge extra for. I know... Shocker, right?!
Be careful and make sure to put on your sunscreen. With the sun reflecting off the water, you'll burn even quicker. Make sure to cover your kiddos too. They do sell waterproof sunscreen in the Park, but you'll pay dearly for it. So if you plan on coming to Typhoon Lagoon, make sure you pick some up beforehand and bring it with you. Another tip is to pick up one of those disposable waterproof cameras before you get here (unless you already own a personal one). They sell those in the Park too, but again, you'll pay dearly! read more
