Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park

This guide to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon in Orlando starts with the shrimp boat wedged atop Mount Mayday and the tale locals tell of Hurricane Connie tearing through the fishing village of Placid Palms in 1955, scattering boats and surfboards until an earthquake shook the volcano awake. It follows how islanders rebuilt from the wreckage into the resort now called Leaning Palms, and what still happens to the mountain every thirty minutes. Listen near the crater to catch the ship's bell before it starts.
