Sylvie,
Thanks for asking me your question to planDisney!
There are a few ways to get from the
Magic Kingdom to
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. Let's explore the two best options.
Bus / Disney TransportationIf you want to use Disney transportation, your best bet is to walk from the front gates of the Magic Kingdom to
Disney's Contemporary Resort. From there you can take a bus to Typhoon Lagoon. The walk should only take about 10 minutes, as it is less than a 1/2-mile stroll (3/4 of a kilometer). The bus ride would then take you about 25 minutes. With possible wait times, you should easily arrive in less than an hour.
TaxiIf you want to use a taxi, you simply need to take the monorail around to the Transportation and Ticket Center, and from there a cab should only take about 11 minutes. All told, you have a 20 minute or so total travel time with this option, though plan on 30 minutes at least, to be safe.
BONUS TIPIf you would like to plus up your water park visit, I strongly recommend you consider booking either a
Beachcomber Shack or make a
Typhoon Lagoon Umbrella reservation. On my most recent visit I was able to tour the shacks, and they were fantastic! In both cases you get a "home base" where you can keep your belongings and give your family a place to meet up. Just call

Have a Magical Vacation!Doug
