Hello Melissa!
Wow, it sounds like you are planning for an exciting Walt Disney World vacation!
Typhoon Lagoon is a fantastic water park!
If you purchase the Water Park and Sports Option (sometimes called Park Hopper Plus), then you can have a certain number of visits to a Water Park or other Walt Disney World fun, which can include:
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex
Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course
Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course – FootGolf
Disney's Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course (before 4:00 pm)
Disney's Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course
At Walt Disney World, a water park is not considered to be a theme park but an extra option that can be used on a separate day or on the same day as a visit to a theme park. If you choose to enjoy a water park in the morning, then your first theme park will be the park you enter after you are done at the water park. You will need to make a
Disney Park Pass Reservation for the theme park you desire to go to after Typhoon Lagoon. You are not park hopping because it is your first theme park of the day, so you do not have to wait until after 2:00 pm to go to your first theme park of the day.
I typically will go to a water park when it opens in the morning and then to a theme park after I have enjoyed the water park.
I hope that your next Walt Disney World vacation is amazing!
