We LOVE Typhoon Lagoon, so much so DS 16 and I were BOTH checking every day for at least six weeks to see if/when it was reopening. The wave pool cannot be beat, and the rides are a LOT of fun. We're going the day we switch from PVB to CSR, and we've even got reservations for a Beachcomber Shack (yes, it's super spendy, especially for just two people, but we aren't coming back to WDW for at least two years and wanted to go out in style

). Back in the day, you could occasionally encounter characters wandering around, and on our first visit to TL, Stitch snuck up behind DS, 7 years old at the time, and stole his water bottle. It was FABULOUS, one of my favorite memories.
