Get ready to make a splash on July 28th for National Water Park Day at Typhoon Lagoon! There’s no better place to celebrate than at Walt Disney World Resort’s Typhoon Lagoon, where thrilling water attractions, delightful food, and endless fun await. Here’s how to create the coolest day of the summer with these 10 must-do activities at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon.
1. Ride the Waves in the Surf Pool
Experience the thrill of North America’s largest wave pool. Feel the excitement of body surfing and listen for the thunderous “sonic boom” that accompanies each massive wave.
2. Drift Away in Castaway Creek
Float along the 2,000-foot-long lazy river that circles the park. Enjoy refreshing cool mists, shady grottoes, waterfalls, overhead rope bridges, and lush rainforest landscapes on this gentle journey through the cavernous tunnel of Mount Mayday.
3. Seek Treasure on Miss Adventure Falls
Join the family raft-ride adventure on Miss Adventure Falls. Ascend in an aquatic elevator belt that propels you into a world of fun. Keep an eye out for treasures from Captain Mary Oceaneer, whose haul was scattered across the park by a rogue typhoon.
4. Splash Around at Ketchakiddee Creek
Kids under 4 feet tall can have a blast in shallow pools surrounded by whimsical crocodiles, squirting seals, and playful elephants. They can explore mini waterslides, splash in a cave with a waterfall, and take aim with water cannons.
5. Sip Refreshingly with a Typhoon Tilly Sipper
Enjoy a refreshing soft drink from the uniquely designed Typhoon Tilly Sipper, featuring the park icon Miss Tilly crashed atop Mount Mayday. This fun souvenir makes for a perfect social media post and vacation keepsake.
6. Slide Down Gangplank Falls
Slide through rocky caverns, under rustic wooden bridges, and past drenching waterfalls on this 300-foot-long waterslide. Spin and bank from side to side for a fun family adventure.
7. Brave the Crush ‘n’ Gusher
Kick off your adventure by taking on the 400-foot-long “water coaster.” Navigate the twists and turns of the abandoned fruit-processing plant with a partner, and choose from three exhilarating “fruit chutes” — Pineapple Plunger, Coconut Crusher, or Banana Blaster.
8. Meet and Greet with Stitch
Meet the mischievous alien Stitch, who occasionally visits the tropical oasis to greet guests. Say “aloha!” and snap a picture with the whole “ohana.”
9. Indulge in Sweet Treats
Indulge in beachy vibes with a Sand Pail Sundae at Happy Landings or enjoy the unique flavors of a DOLE Whip Bathtub Sundae, featuring pineapple and strawberry DOLE Whip and green Matcha tea soft-serve ice cream.
10. Snap Perfect Photos
Capture unforgettable moments at some of the best photo spots across Walt Disney World Resort. Pose with the iconic Mickey innertube before going on Gangplank Falls, or under the bridge below Miss Tilly for a perfect family picture.
