Visiting With Kids
Lost Children
At Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, kids sometimes wander away from their parents, but the park prioritizes safety with Disney Cast Members and lifeguards stationed throughout the water park. If your child gets separated, Cast Members will promptly escort them to the Lost Children kiosk near the park entrance. There, staff engage children with games and activities to keep them calm while they quickly reunite them with their families.
Enjoy peace of mind knowing Typhoon Lagoon maintains a secure environment for families visiting this exciting Orlando water park.
Life Jackets
