    I went on a Sunday and I had a blast. The lines moved at a steady and smooth pace even when busy. I also had an issue with my ticket and guest services did an amazing job of helping me get it sorted. There's plenty of food options and beverages for everyone to enjoy. There's also a little bar area that I was tempted to visit. Parking is very organized and free which was amazing. The wave pool is so fun but be prepared as it is NOT gentle. There isn't much shade anywhere so be sure to bring your sunscreen!

    Typhoon Lagoon is Disney's water park in addition to Blizzard Beach. Both are worth experiencing since they're so unique. Typhoon Lagoon is shipwrecked tropical island themed with the biggest wave pool in the country. The waves reach 6 feet high and are intense enough to slide a bikini down (so I've heard). There are slides for 2+ so you can adventure together. Lazy River is pretty spacious and has floaty chairs -game changer. Not sure how I can go back to a standard tube after that. Loungers, chairs and picnic tables were available first come first serve. The reserved areas were booked up but we found the perfect location for all five of us. Sun and shade with the nearest bartender just a few steps away. The Mai Thai and Rum Runner were absolutely delish. Was happy to see hard cider available. Disney's magic is keeping the park clean and beautifully landscaped all day long. The water was always that perfect cool and refreshing temp, and crystal clear. Cast members always remind me why Disney is the best.

    What an amazing perk. Free waterpark day on resort check in day! We had a blast! The wave pool is incredibly fun. Beware it will launch you several feet lines were not more than 15 min for the slides and the lazy river had plenty of tubes. We had lunch at typhoon tilly's a d an ice cream snack. Restrooms are clean and the changing rooms have showers with soap!

    We were able to enjoy Typhoon Lagoon, one of Disney World's two water parks, using the benefit for Disney resort guests (free water park admission on check-in day). It was easy to enter using the My Disney Experience app, as it already had the tickets under my account, and it was also a quick bus ride from Disney Springs. Towels are complimentary, and lockers have a small fee. Changing rooms are located near the front of the park, and are reasonably ok considering how many people go through them. The floor is paved but pretty hot to walk on, so I still recommend wearing waterproof footwear. Waterproof phone holders are probably the #1 most useful item to bring here, other than sunscreen. There was a surprisingly large amount of people here on a Monday; pretty much all the chairs were taken around the wave pool, and there were scarce empty spots in the humongous body of water with equally gigantic waves. They're not waves for babies or beginners at all - they knock you down and drag you far, even where you think you're far enough, which is pretty rad. While a lot of people were crawling around the park, the wait times weren't too bad. The lazy river, Castaway Creek, was chill. There were people around us all the time, but enough space to still feel comfortable. I was amazed at how long the river went on for, and at how much varied scenery they detailed through the course. I also loved and hated the surprise waterfall you're forced to go under at the base of the mountain. I wasn't able to get through as many rides as I'd hope because of a brewing storm that eventually rained everyone out of the park. There are attractions for people of all thrill levels, though they seem more family-friendly than catered to daredevils. The rides are easy to get on, too - you just walk up, grab an available tube, and wait in line. There are also convenient refreshments littered at all ends of the roundabout park. The theming around the park is fantastic, including the iconic Miss Tilly atop Mount Mayday. Lagoona Gator both welcomes and waves you off at the entrance of the park.

    I wanted to rate this a 5 BUT the only reason it's not is because they got rid of the snorkel attraction but didn't replace it with anything else, they just covered it up and made it another lounging section with beach chairs...pretty lame if you ask me. Putting that aside though, this is a fantastic water park. Great slides, especially Crush n Gusher, world class wave pool, fun shipwreck theming, and DOLE WHIP! I'm not sure if they're still selling the Hei Hei Cones anymore, but if they are you gotta try one! It'spretty much pineapple and raspberry dole whip. Be warned, if you're not a strong swimmer, be careful in the wave pool... this one isn't for the faint of hearts, it gets pretty intense, I once got a black eye in that pool as a kid.

    We are spending time at this park today so that we can enjoy the water park mainly. It's been hot here this week and this will be so relaxing. My daughter and her friends are going on the water tube but I will pass on those due to past injuries (not from water rides). The Lazy River is more my speed these days. I love them! There was a lot to see and do here but mainly we were interested in the water park itself. My daughter was enjoying herself at all of the attractions. The Lazy River ride around the main Typhoon Lagoon takes about 20-30 minutes to complete. It was so much fun! I would do it again. There were also cute little food huts with ice cream, ice shaved desserts, burgers, chicken fingers, fries, sodas and Toledo for steak & seafood. Our friends enjoyed the entire park so we are all content. Today is our last day.

    Typhoon Lagoon has the largest wave pool in North America. It also has the largest lagoon man-made that is used for surfing in the United States. This is a mammoth waterpark that offers water attractions for kids and adults of all ages. It's a phenomenal opportunity to come and spend a great day at a waterpark, including the lazy river, the giant wave, pool, and a host of rides which are family friendly and some that are even a bit daredevil. We recommend it if you have the opportunity to go and would know that if you stay at a DVC resort or on Disney property at one of the hotels here, you should check into the opportunity to attend one of the evening activities like midnight, madness, or on the day of check in at Disney properties you also have free entrance to either of the two water parks, if they're open that day.

    I got to come here for my birthday. I did not think I would ever visit a Disney water park but this was my second one on this trip and it was a lot of fun. From our hotel we had to get to Disney Springs to get the bus to come here. It was so hot, and there were so many people on the bus I was not sure if this place would fill to capacity, but luckily we made it. Like the other park, there are plenty of reasonably priced lockers near the entrance and complimentary towels. The theming here is fun, but typical of a water park, unlike Blizzard Beach, which I found the winter theming to be more unique, but still they have a fun gator to go with Ice Gator. We made our way to find a nice spot to put our stuff and on to the first slide. I dumped my shoes with our stuff but by the time we got back the ground was so hot I burnt the bottoms of my feet and had to wear the flip flops the rest of the day. They really need more sprinklers on the ground. For some reason Blizzard Beach and Volcano Bay both had enough to make it bearable to walk around shoeless. Still we went on the family raft, that was fun. We did the lazy river which reminded me of being on the Jungle Cruise but swimming in the water instead of being on the boat. This park was really crowded compared to the other one. I am not sure if it is more popular, but it was harder to get a raft. More people in line for food and longer lines for the slides. We did enjoy the food here. It was similar to Blizzard Beach, but they changed up the ingredients a bit to make each park unique. Here, I got an upside down dole whip pineapple cake cone and it was so good I am still dreaming of it. The guess the biggest draw for this park is their incredible wave pool. those waves are no joke and knock you down then under the water. Yes, I would love to have that feature at our parks back home, it was the most intense wave pool we have been in besides the actual ocean. I liked their gift shop, it is always fun looking around but Disney needs to bring back package delivery to the hotels and look to Universal for what they are doing well right now, there is a lot of competition. We spent several hours here, and they had descent changing rooms since you need to take the bus back to Disney Springs, which we did in order to get some dinner. It was overall a great time and I think I would return if I had the chance.

    We visited Aquatica Orlando using our annual passes on July 30, 2026. Despite a rainy afternoon…read morethat caused more than half the park to clear out, we stayed, the weather passed, and we ended up having a great time. The park itself is fun, clean, and once the rain stopped the lines were much shorter. I was also happy to see that the hot water in the showers was finally working again. The last few times we visited there was no hot water, so that was a nice improvement. One area that really needs attention is the bee problem. They were everywhere. My daughter was stung, although I do want to give a huge thank you to the First Aid team. After I removed the stinger, they quickly brought numbing medication and ice, which helped tremendously, and she was able to enjoy the rest of our day. Aquatica should seriously consider investing in professional bee management, including traps or other safe methods to draw bees away from heavily populated guest areas. My biggest concern, however, was employee professionalism. Around 7:44 p.m., outside the Aquatica exit near the employee entrance, I observed what appeared to be an employee rolling what looked like a marijuana joint in plain view. If security cameras cover that area, management should review the footage. In addition, several employees at the food registers seemed more interested in asking girls for their phone numbers than helping the customers who were standing there trying to order food. The park is clearly staffed primarily by teenagers and young adults, which is understandable, but customer service expectations and professionalism need to be reinforced. Overall, we still had a fun day, especially after the weather improved, and the attractions continue to make Aquatica worth visiting. I just hope management addresses the employee conduct issues and the bee problem because both take away from what is otherwise a great water park. Oh also, if you normally use the green life vests, they did do away with those. That's the adult large. They only have XS, medium and xxL. I will add, the coffee at scoops ice cream area was very good. I got an vanilla latte

Staff had great energy throughout the night, and there is a good mixture of thrill / relaxing rides for all ages. Personally, you can always find me at a lazy river. I loved how they have your classical slow moving river vs fast moving river for people who want a lil thrill (my fave). The park follows a tropical theming which was enjoyable to experience, and has thoughtful details that make your experience more fun / immersive. Throughout the park, there are buttons that trigger cannons to squirt water at people. Similarly, buttons placed in the pools also trigger a bubbling effect-- even as an adult I found myself enjoying these little details. Throughout the night, there were also special character meet and greets for photo opps (Trolls, Shrek, HTTYD) + unlimited snacks (churro /popcorn) + freestyle cup were just a nice bonus Volcano Bay is definately worth a visit for anyone who loves water parks. I would definately recommend visiting if an after hours event is offered

Gift cards can only be used on site and can not be redeemed online. (I was also able to pay for parking at Universal with one of the gift cards.) Lockers are, of course, available for rent. It was 7 of us so we got a family locker. That didn't work. We had to rent another family locker to hold all our stuff. The family lockers are not big enough if you have multiple bags. Some of the staff are cool. We encountered one team member who greeted almost everyone in the Kopiko Wai Winding River (lazy river). Every time we winded back around to where he sat overlooking and safeguarding the river he spoke. His attitude was hospitable and refreshing.

There was shrimp and grits, seafood paella Chicken paella, chicken asada, grilled churrasco steak with chimichurri, maduros, yucca fries. There was a prepared salad and water already placed at your assigned table. I did not eat the salad and as surprised that salad was even being served with the current health issue related to various fresh produce. I saw a lot of people not even touching their salads. Beverages were included like soft drinks, tea, lemonade, etc. Dessert included 3 options pineapple upside down cake, tres leche, and jumbo chocolate cupcake. I had the chocolate cupcakes it wasn't that sweet and was just ok. I really enjoyed my meal it was warm and tasty. All parties were sat with their perspective guests so it was nice to have your own table for just you and whoever you came with. Each table had a waiter/waitress that refilled our beverages, brought napkins and straws, cleared our plates, and cleaned our table. The show was nice and took place at sunset. The finale was the best part! The show was broken up into 3 segments kind of like beginning, middle, and end. It was an open and semi covered pavilion with 3 stages. The performances rotated among the 3 stages but were predominantly performing around the center stage. The show was based on the principles of earth, air, water, & fire. There was a drummer, dancers, and aerial performers. The finale was awesome there was an actual fire dancer. He juggled, twirled, tossed rolled over and jumped over fire sticks it was great!

Why am I withholding a fifth star? First, the cost for lockers is ludicrous; $16 for the smallest unit, IIRC.

What makes this even more tedious is that there are no towels provided so you have to get all that stuff yourself through the park. The chairs were a bit run down. Only one food booth with limited options and they weren't accommodating at all when I accidentally ordered the wrong fountain drink. I doubt I will come back. The hotel pool is more fun.

    I had a bad experience regarding a laptop that my daughter left in our room. When we returned and…read moreasked at the Front Desk, they contacted the Housekeeping department and told us that nothing had been found and that no items had been left in the room. After insisting and requesting to speak with both the Housekeeping Manager and the Front Desk Manager, the laptop suddenly appeared. It was an uncomfortable situation because it creates a very negative impression and raises concerns about how lost items are handled. Other than that incident, we had a very good experience. The kids absolutely loved the water park, and it was a lot of fun for the whole family. I would also like to recognize the Front Desk team for their excellent customer service, professionalism, and kindness. They deserve a 10 out of 10. And I cannot fail to mention Sandra, the Colombian employee at the restaurant. She was amazing--friendly, charismatic, and provided outstanding customer service. She truly deserves recognition for her excellent work. A perfect 10 out of 10 for Sandra! Overall, we had a good stay, although I believe the hotel's lost-and-found procedures need improvement.

    Short version Our check-in experience was terrible. Despite…read moreconfirming our late arrival, our reservation was cancelled, and we had to rebook after waiting in line. The room smelled awful, the window didn't open, and even after switching rooms the smell remained. The hotel is old, uncomfortable, and poorly maintained. Overall, a very disappointing stay. Our check-in experience at this hotel was a complete fiasco. We arrived in the evening only to discover that our reservation had been cancelled because we were two hours late. This happened despite the fact that we had called and sent messages in advance to confirm our arrival and specifically asked them not to cancel the booking. Nevertheless, the reservation was cancelled, and we were forced to make a new one after already waiting in line. At the front desk, the staff insisted it was our fault for not notifying them, even though we had clearly done so. Unfortunately, the real disappointment began when we entered the room. The smell was extremely unpleasant, and since the window did not open, it was impossible to ventilate the space. We requested a different room, and while the second room was slightly better, it still had an unpleasant odor. The pool area was also difficult to tolerate due to a very strong chlorine smell. Overall, the hotel feels very outdated and poorly maintained, making it hard to relax. Even the bar was closed throughout our stay. Overall, a very disappointing experience

    Decent place. Had got 2 bed/rooms nice big fully loaded like an apartment knives & everything. Some…read moreoutlets didnt work in main bedroom. Everything was clean i have ocd. Hospitality ok. Valencia restaurant ok hrs 11am-10pm. A family pool section has 3 pulls & a large jacuzzi 8am-10pm. deeper water 6.3ft area if needed. Heated. Then theres a play area for kids and right next to it is surfing 11am-8pm then lazy river right next to it too. u have to make a reservation for surfing & u get put in a group & take turns. Theres a gym. There a "market" like 7eleven only had smart water. Theres seats & lounges. Its a decent spot. Pay for wut u get. I reccomend. BRING pool toys! There was no wristband thing. Cameras everywhere so safe. I think the staff could be more helpful welcoming charming. The things to do could be more organized as some things are a bit confusing & misleading. The map of the place & getting around isnt too bad , could use more signs though. Ive been to resorts that are just a lot more easy to understand. & yes this includes the website. I didnt see any gold or paddle boat. As i said it was tricky getting help some from someone as the employee around dont know anything and the front desks are just busy. Other resorts have people waiting and standing around looking to help you and sell you stuff, looking to help you have the best time, they play with you and everything. The hello ivy text message scan QR code didnt work as well.

    This is my second time staying at the Grove resort in Orlando. We had stayed here previously three…read moreyears ago, which prompted us to book the resort again. A lot has changed the second time around. The pros: 1. Close to Orlando theme parks 2. Decent waterpark The cons: 1. Outdated and dirty property (garbage smell and dirty hallways, and elevators) 2. Dirty rooms and broken furniture 3. Poorly equipped rooms- we only had 2 towels and 2 facecloths for a family of 4 that were in the master bath. Second bathroom did not have towels or facecloths (we had to call the front desk for items) 4. The Kitchen was not fully stocked (no pans for oven, no sharp knives for cutting food, and no cutting board) 5. No housekeeping (we were there for 7 nights and not once did they show up). Did not have broom in the room or cleaning supplies. I had to empty all garbages in room the full stay and place bag in hallway. Garbage was only picked up once a day in hallway. There were always garbage bags in the hallway. 6. You are provided with a "starter kit" of supplies (one sponge for dish washing, one small liquid dishwashing soap, one dishwasher pack, one Tide for washing machine. One paper towel, one pack of toilet paper for each bathroom and 1 box of Kleenex for each bathroom). Once supply is depleted, you are responsible for purchasing additional items. 7. The pool area is overcrowded. If you do not get in line at 9:30 AM (pool area opens at 10 AM) you will not get a seat. I found people go to the pool area early (9:30 AM) drop off their stuff for the day and leave area. That means if you don't get there early to scoff up a spot yourself you are left standing. However, you have the option on spending extra money to 2 rent chairs $$ ($69) or a Cabana $$$ ($250) for the day. I had mentioned this to management and they said there is no way of monitoring this. That if I wanted a guarantee area that I would need to reserve/rent chairs or a cabana. 8. Expensive resort fees, daily. They charge resort fees on the day of arrival and departure. 9. Issue encountered with a booked transportation reservation (through resorts concierge) back to resort (from Epcot). Was left in an extremely dangerous situation by the resorts contracted bus driver. Me and my two kids were left stranded at Epcot. He "did not have the time" to take me and my kids back to the Grove (again, this transportation was pre-booked). He asked us to get off the bus at Epcot. He had to go to another resort (me and my two children were the only guests returning to the Grove). Bus driver said he ordered and paid for an Uber for me and my kids to go back to the Grove (all lies, as he did not order us alternate transportation). Tried calling the resort at 10 PM phone rang, selected front desk and was on hold for over 15 minutes. Was not able to get in touch with front desk at resort (no answer), Finally hung up due to frustration. I had to pay out of pocket for an Uber back to the resort.
