Advantages: Fun, lots to do Disadvantages: A bit pricey
The first theme park on my trip to Orlando was Typhoon Lagoon. I had last been there in about 1992 so was interested to see it again. Typhoon Lagoon is part of the Disney family and was opened in 1989. The idea behind the park is that it was created as the result of a huge storm which caused the rapids to form and the boats to be blown there from a nearby fishing village. As with everything Disney, this is another land of make believe!
LOCATION:

Driving there is very simple and Walt Disney World is signposted straight off the I4 (the main road passing through Orlando). The nearest airport is Orlando International, to which many airlines fly direct from the UK. You can get shuttles from ...

Advantages: great fun, lots of things to do Disadvantages: none
Typhoon Lagoon is one of the three water parks held in the Disney Park area. The others ones are Blizzard Beach and River Country. I have to say though this was my favourite of the two.
FOOD
Around the different areas there will be somewhere for cocktails, pastries or even hot food. When I was there I went to a food stall beside the main pool which sold hotdogs, turkey legs and drinks. It wasn't very expensive and it was nice. There was nowhere to sit though, you sat on a sunbed on the beach, or chairs.
The day I went here I prayed for it to be sunny, and I was very lucky it was one of the hottest days of my holiday.
Anyway, you go into the entrance get changed and put your items into your locker. You then usually make your way into
A-Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool-this was the pool I spent most of my day in. When I was ...
