Typhoon Lagoon isn't your ordinary water park; its far beyond that. You can catch 6 foot waves in the surf pool as well as snorkel and explore the shark reef, which is home to real sharks. The whole idea of Typhoon Lagoon is quite interesting. It began during the meteorological disturbance when surf boards, along with trees and boats, were all tossed through roofs of beach houses and up into mountains. If you've ever been to Typhoon Lagoon, you'll notice that there are ships tossed on rocks. The whole theme of this park is a "ship wreck" island.
Not only is there a wave pool where you can catch 6 foot waves, but there are slides, rivers, and waterways. Every half an hour at Mount Mayday, a boat's whistle blows and you become soaked with gallons of water from a geyser. Mount Mayday is the home of many waterslides. It's a fun way to cool off while enjoying the warm summer days.
This park has an outdoor pool bar, quick restaurant service and two picnic areas. It's a very nice place to have dinner or snacks. All your troubles can be washed away here.
Epcot isn't your ordinary park; there is more to it then you think. The entertainment here continues day to day. You can see live shows, meet and greet the characters, watch fireworks, see acrobats, musicians, mimes and dancers. The coolest part of Epcot is that it represents 11 different countries, such as Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, United States, Japan, Morocco, France, The United Kingdom and Canada. Each country is set up with shops, dining halls and features unique to them. It really makes you feel like you're in a different country.
Each country provides its own form of live entertainment. In Morocco, they have belly dancers, drummers and performers. It's the coolest! In Norway, the buildings are stone and you can explore the exhibit know as "Vikings: Conquerors of the Seas." This exhibit has a collection of authentic Norse weapons and artifacts at the gallery inside the Stave Church.
You can walk the streets of each country and get a small taste of their culture. Everything about the countries are beautiful and interesting. Some countries have a medieval feeling and old cobble stone streets.
While walking through these pavilions, you'll enjoy performances by actors; some might even invite you to be in the show with them. There are also areas in each country called Kidcot. These places allow kids to create one of a kind souvenirs. Epcot is known as the "world showcase" because it consists of a cluster of different countries.
MGM is Disney's Hollywood theme park. This park features the Hollywood Tower Hotel. This beautiful hotel was struck by lightning many years ago and left abandoned and haunted. Once you enter the hotel, you're brought down to the basement and board an elevator which drops once the hotel is "struck by lighting." It's a terrifying drop down to the basement; you leave your seat and stomach in the air. It feels like your heart goes into your throat from the shock.
MGM also hosts a reenactment of Indiana Jones. Actors and actresses go running through an obstacle course where they dodge boulders, fire and explosions. Not only do you watch flames burn but, you can feel the heat. You're up close and personal in this adventure.
I can't even begin to describe the rest of the park. It's just something that you have to see. There is so much entertainment that it's impossible to get it done in one day. This park is really something!
