Life Vests at Typhoon?

[DisneyDreamingAubrey]

Does anyone know if Typhoon Lagoon lets you rent life vests for little ones? Should we bring our own? My sons are two and four, and I just want to be sure they're safe!!

Here is the information that I found on Life Vests... This is for both water parks:

Life Jackets are avaliable at No charge, but guests must leave a form of personal identification such as: Room Key, Car Keys, Insurance Card, Multi-park Hopper Pass, or Credit Card...Driver's Licenses and Passports will NOT be accepted
NOTE: Guests may NOT bring their own flotation devices.

They do!

While you can't bring flotation items, you can use your own life jacket. I brought my own last time we went because I had a baby and I knew that they would fit well. The first time we went, we did get them from the water park.

Make sure your little ones wear them on any slide! My 4 year old got sucked into the lazy river feed after leaving a slide at King's Island! The pool the slide let off in fed the lazy river in the corner of it. If he didn't have his life jacket on, he would have been pulled under. I had to jump in after him... the life guard grabbed him right before the drop into the lazy river. It happened so quickly. He was fine (thanks to his life jacket) but didn't ride any more slides after that.

This is true, sorry if that part was misleading... Just wanted to clarify what "flotation device" is to Disney...
