Welcome to planDisney, Chris! It looks like you have already arrived to the Most Magical Place on Earth, and I hope you're having a great time diving into all of the attractions, entertainment, and other offerings as the Walt Disney World Resort transitions from
summer celebrations to
fall festivities!
Chris, the
Disney Water Parks currently operate on a rotating basis. At this time,
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park is open to Guests while Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park remains closed for seasonal refurbishments. I checked the
Park Hours and Events Calendar to verify operating hours for August 22, and it looks like you can visit Typhoon Lagoon between 10 AM and 6 PM on that day! Of course, park hours are always subject to change, so be sure to double check online or in the
My Disney Experience mobile app before heading out for your water park adventure! That gives you plenty of time for chasing thrills like the
Crush 'n' Gusher Water Coaster or rafting with the whole family on
Miss Adventure Falls before relaxing in Castaway Creek for a few laps around the lazy river to unwind! If you're traveling with smaller guppies, they'll have a blast splashing around the
Ketchakiddee Creek water playground designed specifically with them in mind!
Chris, while there is plenty of complimentary seating around Typhoon Lagoon, if you're looking for a more VIP experience, you can look into reserving a
Beachcomber Shack for reserved cabana-style seating and dedicated service to make your day more laid back! Another option is the
Umbrella Rentals, which provide Guests with two reserved lounge chairs, two beach chairs, and an umbrella! All of these rentals also include towels, but if you are a Guest staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can also pick up complimentary towels upon your arrival at
Singapore Sal's! Just visit the counter near the entrance to request them!
I hope this helps, Chris, and I hope you continue to enjoy the magic of your vacation and your upcoming visit to the water park! If you have any other questions, come on back and let us know! You've got a friend in
me!
Enjoy the magic,
Alison
