Castaway Creek

Fodor's Review:

This circular, 15-foot-wide, 3-foot-deep waterway is everyone's water fantasy come true. Snag an inner tube and float along the creek that winds around the entire park, a wet version of the Magic Kingdom's Walt Disney World Railroad. You pass through a rain forest that showers you with mist and spray, you slide through caves and grottoes, you float by overhanging trees and flowering bushes, and you get dumped on at the Water Works, whose "broken" pipes the Typhoon Lagooners never got around to fixing. The current flows a gentle 2 1/2 feet per second; it takes about 30 minutes to make a full circuit. Along the way there are exits where you can hop out and dry off or do something else -- and then pick up another inner tube and jump right back in.
