Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon
Typhoon Lagoon is Disney’s tropical-themed water park that tells the tale of a storm-ravaged island paradise, with shipwrecks, surfboards, and lush surroundings. It’s known for its massive wave pool and laid-back vibe. The water parks are such a fun option if you wanted a day away from the main theme parks, but still with lots of fun to be had!
Ticket Info: Separate admission is required, although with the UK Magic tickets admission is included; there is also a current 2025 offer that allows water park entry free of charge on your check-in day when staying on site at a Disney resort. For the first time this year, both Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon are open simultaneously from May 21st to September 7th for guests to enjoy! Outside of these times, the parks alternate which one is open.

Tips for Visiting
Rope Drop Strategy - Head straight to Crush ‘n’ Gusher or Miss Adventure Falls at the beginning of the day, as these get the longest lines. With the current free offer we have heard that the parks are reaching capacity so this is even more important currently!
Wave Pool Caution - The surf is strong and the waves are BIG — life jackets are free and recommended for children or weaker swimmers.
Bring Water Shoes in the summer - The pavement can get hot, and some areas are slippery.
Rent a Locker - These are essential for securing valuables. You can also get lockers that attach to your sun lounger from Amazon!
Remember Sun Protection - Waterproof sunscreen, hats, and rash guards are necessary. There is a very well stocked shop on site if you forget anything!
Towel Rentals are Available - If you are staying in a Disney resort, towel rentals are complimentary. If off site you will need to pay a fee of $2 per person for towels, or bring your own!
Use the Disney App - Check wait times, order food, and find your way around.
