Typhoon Lagoon, the newest and largest of the water parks in Disney, is a great theme park for a family day out. Me and my family went their last year and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Typhoon Lagoon has a good, well thoughtout layout and it is extreamley easy to find what your looking for. The park is set around the surf pool, which I believe has a set of waves every 90 seconds and is as big as 2 football fields. If you fancy it, you can now also surf in the surf pool for 2 hours for an extra charge when the park is closed.
The first main attraction when you walk through the gates is the "Castaway Creek" lazy-river style ride which runs around the perimeter of the surf pool. It took us just under an hour to do and took us through some wonderful scenery including things like caves and rivers. You basically just relax in a rubber dinghy, going round however many times you want.
Just past this, is a man-made beach with white sand perfect for letting the kids brush up on their castle building skills! When we were there, they also had hammocks available.
If you're after the bigger rides, however, you'll have to start heading towards the back of the park where a good selection of water rides can be found such as the river rapids and body slides. Also, my personal favorite, the shark reef. Here, you can swim with the sharks and see all the fish that they eat! But, there was a minimum age of 10 years for this so some of our party had to wait outside while we went in.
Overall, a good variety of activities, very jolly atmosphere and almost perfect for everyone. I'd recommend this day out but please remember to take care or knocking yourself against the flooring in the surf pool. A member of my party actually hurt their back whilst in the wave pool, making it my only major concern with this theme park.
Hope this has been of good use to you,

If I remember rightly, and I'm sure others will correct me on this, if you buy the tickets in advance rather than on the door when you actually arrive their, you can get them for much cheaper. However, I cannot recall the exact figures but I'm sure a quick internet search should find them, paganini
