Disney's Typhoon Lagoon

Disney's Typhoon Lagoon is a water park located at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, United States.

The park opened in June 1989 and is home to the world's largest outdoor wave pool. The theme of the park is the "Disney legend" of a typhoon that wreaked havoc upon a formerly pristine tropical paradise. Ships, fishing gear and surfboards are strewn about where the storm flung them. The centrepiece of the park is "Miss Tilly," a shrimp boat impaled upon a mountain named "Mount Mayday" that erupts a 50-foot (15 m) geyser of water every half hour, right before the bells of the watch sound on Miss Tilly. The parks’ mascot is named “Lagoona Gator” who is related to Blizzard Beach’s mascot Ice Gator.

The park closes for two months each year for annual refurbishments, beginning mid-fall. This season, it will be closed from October 31, 2010 to January 8, 2011. During its closure Blizzard Beach remains open to accommodate Disney World's water park seekers.
