After nearly two years, Disney World has finally reopened their fan-favorite water park, Typhoon Lagoon!

For a long while, the water park looked untouched, drained, desolate, and abandoned. There was no work being done, all water was gone, and it was clear that a refurbishment was needed. Luckily, we soon saw scaffolding in place with active work being done. This reassured Guests that Typhoon Lagoon would eventually return! Now, with Blizzard Beach closed for its annual refurbishment, Typhoon Lagoon is the only option available for Guests at the moment. With the water park reopening, it seems Disney is giving Annual Passholders some incentive to go and visit.

Disney World Annual Passholders can now save $20.00 on their Typhoon Lagoon ticket, so long as it is used by the end of the year. Disney announced:

When the water park reopened, Disney noted:

The 50th anniversary magic continues at Walt Disney World Resort as Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park prepares to reopen Jan. 2, 2022. Offering tropical family fun for all ages, the park’s reopening will mark the return of favorite attractions and the debut of new menu items and other commemorative culinary features.

Known for its immersive storytelling, thrilling water attractions and family fun, the Typhoon Lagoon tells the fabled tale of a rogue storm and its ensuing tidal wave that wreaked havoc on a formerly pristine waterside paradise. From topsy-turvy architecture and storm-strewn nautical gear to the stranded shrimping ship, Miss Tilly, impaled upon the summit of Mount Mayday, each detail brings the legend to life for guests in different ways.

The Return of Favorite Typhoon Lagoon Attractions

Popular attractions and features will delight guests, including exhilarating slides, flumes and wet and “water-ful’’ play spaces for every member of the family. Among the favorites:

Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool, America’s largest outdoor wave pool where guests can “hang 10’’ while bodying surfing on the perfect wave every time.

Miss Adventure Falls, a fast-paced family raft attraction created, as the story goes, when Captain Mary Oceaneer – a seafaring treasure hunter – got her haul caught years ago in a rogue typhoon, scattering her treasure across this tropical paradise.

Crush ‘n’ Gusher, a thrilling water coaster featuring three 400-foot-long tube slides named for the various fruits they once transported.

Castaway Creek, a scenic lazy river encircling the entire water park, offering gentle passage past shady grottoes, gushing waterfalls, overhead rope bridges and lush rainforest landscapes.

Humunga Kowabunga, offering a choice of three adrenaline-filled body slides set against the steep inclines of Mount Mayday.

Disney also just released massive summer savings that Guests can enjoy! Combine that with a discounted day at Typhoon Lagoon, and you have yourself a pretty magical vacation!
