Laid-back and all-ages friendly (with a few killer slides and rides to satisfy the thrill-seekers in your crew) Typhoon Lagoon offers up the cool waters the Orlando heat makes you crave all while enveloping visitors in the Disney magic they've come to expect. In the case of this park, a tropical island village motif sets the mood. Highlights here include Shark Reef, offering visitors the chance to swim freely with leopard and bonnethead sharks, among other beautiful ocean creatures, in a safe, controlled environment and the Surf Pool - one of the world's largest -0 which cycles between small and large swells so that riders of all skill levels get a chance to hang ten.
