Hi there, Natalie!
Thank you for bringing your question to us at planDisney from all the way across The Pond! In my opinion, a summer visit to Walt Disney World Resort is not complete without quality time spent at one of its incredible water parks, so I'm thrilled you're already factoring that into your schedule!
I am happy to report that during your magical vacation, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. One of my favorite parts about Walt Disney World's water parks is how I don't feel that I need to concern myself with any scheduling while I'm there. No Lightning Lanes. No dining reservations. Just me drifting along
Castaway Creek worry-free!
Happily, you also happened to mention another one of my favorite ways to relax at Typhoon Lagoon in your question...umbrellas! Did you know that when you reserve a
Typhoon Lagoon Umbrella you not only have access to a beach umbrella but two lounge chairs, two beach chairs, a drink table, and towels as well? For obvious reasons, these umbrellas are quite popular, so it is highly recommended that Guests make advance reservations. Since you're visiting from the United Kingdom, you'll need to dial the UK freephone number for
Tours and Recreation to do so. You can also check available reservations upon arrival at Walt Disney World Resort at any
Guest Relations location, or for inquiries about same-day availability, stop by High 'N Dry once you arrive at Typhoon Lagoon.
While the Walt Disney World Water Parks provide an excellent way to cool down from the summer heat, don't overlook the magic of your Disney Resort hotel pool! I have spent many happy summer hours sliding into the pool at
Disney's BoardWalk Inn.
I hope this was helpful, Natalie, and prepared you to dive right into the magic of Walt Disney World this summer! If you have any additional questions as you plan, feel free to
stop back by. I'm always happy to help!
Hakuna Matata,
Lizzie
