Lacombe to Orlando
Typhoon Lagoon

Ahhh! Typhoon Lagoon! One of several waterparks on Disney property, this one appeared to be the biggest and best from the brochures we picked up. Now that we've visited it, there is no reason to believe it is not either. We need another trip back there to try out the others.

We spent just the morning here, leaving around lunch to finish a visit to Magic Kingdom... a place that takes at LEAST two days to see the minimum.

Things we missed: We didn't hit all the slides, but the ones we rode were great fun and had enough speed to satisfy most chicken hearts. Die hard roller coaster buffs might not find it heart racing exciting, but it popped enough veins to keep the kids and me happy!

Things we'd spend more time on: The actual lagoon with the big wave generator. Great fun. You just can't get turned over often enough by an eight foot wave bearing down on you and not come up laughing.

Ranking: 4.5 out of 5. Even though it was busy, there was still a place for our family to find a quiet man made beach on perfect sand with loungers to lie upon and soak up some clouds.


You can see this cute little guy just as you come up the rise after entering Typhoon Lagoon. He's fairly quiet, but he'll stare you down if you get too close. Take your picture and move on! There's fun up thar ahead!





Also at the beginning of Typhoon Lagoon. An easy place for a staged photgraph. That's Krystal (left), Jennifer (middle) and Alyssa (are they EVER in any other order?) trying to control their enthusiasm as we head up towards the giant wave pool.






These may all look like the same picture, but they're not. The first is the view of the Lagoon as you enter. We got here at 9:00 AM and the place was EMPTY. The second picture is from more or less the same place, but at lunch as we were leaving. Notice the increase in number of people! The third shows the wave pool sending a wave towards the fully aware, and always, screaming swimmers.


The first thing we did when we got to Typhoon Lagoon was take a ride around the park on this slow moving creek. It was GREAT fun dunking each other. You also get a good look at the park, where a good place to lay your towels is, where the bathrooms are, where the snack bars are. Do this first to orientate yourself to the park and to see what's available.
