Beachcomber Shacks at Typhoon Lagoon

Normally, we're a Blizzard Beach kind of family. On our first family trip to the Walt Disney World, we tried Typhoon Lagoon, and to be honest, it was a little too "rough" for the young ones on our family. (Mainly the wave pool.)

But today on Twitter, I see @DisneyParks posted a link to their newly announced "Beachcomber Shacks." It's a semi-private area that you can rent for the day, and looks like a really nice place to camp out. Speaking from experience (we LOVE waterparks, and spend about 10-15 days a year in a waterpark), having a place to regroup & relax would be great. Not to mention, if you've ever gone to a Disney waterpark, you either get there at park open to get seats, or forget about it.

From the link:

...“premium spaces” that provide shade and comfortable seating for six people, all-day drink mugs, an ice chest stocked with bottled water, towels, locker, and a service attendant to bring food and beverage orders. All-day rentals are $250 plus tax and can be booked in advance by calling 407-WDW-PLAY..."

There you have it... now it does seem a little spendy... we get a Cabana at Zoombezi Bay for $125, similar spec, but I suppose, for Disney, you're gonna expect to drop a little more.

We might give it a try on our next trip, and if we do... we'll post a full report right here.

Hey Disney, if you're listening, how about "Igloo Blocks" over at Blizard Beach... if you build 'em, we will come!

Have a magical day.
