Typhoon Lagoon
" A furious storm once roared across the sea Catching ships in its path, helpless to flee Instead of a certain and watery doom The Winds swept them here - to Typhoon Lagoon."
Here's how the Disney Press Office describe Typhoon Lagoon. They do it far better than I ever could. By the way.... if you believe in pixie-dust, it's all true. This is a helluva water park and if you're lucky enough to have spare days when you visit Walt Disney World, put it on your " must do" list.
For as long as anyone could remember, the quaint thatched-roofed village had nestled along the shores of the sparkling lagoon, in the shadows of a great volcanic mountain. Then came the 20^th century with its cruise ships, and tourists and the Placid Palms Resort....a special little place for lucky vacationers each year. The great storm, however, changed everything...a furious, unrelenting typhoon catching a small fleet of ships by surprise, and tossing them about like toy boats for one terrifying hour. But in the storm's wake was left a remarkable scene. A surfboard had penetrated completely through a huge tree. A small boat had blown through the roof of one building. A great buoy had crashed through the roof of still another. The Placid Palms Resort was now Leaning Palms, almosts ready to topple over at any moment. A small harbour had been cut off from the sea, trapping an overturned boat and thousands of colorful fish, uh....plus a few sharks along the way. Nothing, however, topped the sight of the shrimp boat, " Miss Tilly" , impaled precariously on the peak of the great volcanic mountain. To this day, the mountain tries vainly to dislodge its unwelcome burden with an enormous geyser every half hour. Well, what nature has done is a little redecorating. The inhabitants were left with the most extraordinary assortment of waterfalls, rapids, pools, surf and all around wetness the world had ever seen. The once sleepy resort had been turned into Typhoon Lagoon.
