Typhoon Lagoon or Wet n Wild
 
Hi, <BR> We are making our 7th trip to Orlando this coming September, we live in the UK. <BR>We have never been to either Typhoon Lagoon or Wet N Wild, which one is best and more suitable for a 3 year old infant? <BR>Is shelter available at either park, and is there also a beach?

Typhoon Lagoon has a beach, but the wave pool is quite rough for a 3-year old. It is tropical and lush with lots of shade. It has a kiddie section with a teeny, tiny innertube ride that my 2-year old master with a lot of coaxing and coaching. We had big fun there. <BR> <BR>Haven't been to Wet and Wild, but according to the Unofficial Guide to Disneyworld (which I recommend) it is not as nice because it has too much concrete and not enough character. <BR> <BR>Have fun!

Went to Typhoon Lagoon last summer. Lots of shade, but wave pool is quite rough for 3-year old child. Lush with lots of shade and a beach area. Kiddie area with teeniest inner tube ride you ever saw; our 2-year old rode it. Big fun. <BR> <BR>Never been to Wet and Wild, but I understand it is mostly concrete and not as nice, according to the Unofficial Guide to Disneyworld. <BR> <BR>Have fun!

Geez, sorry about the double post. Fodor's gremlins played tricks on me again. At least I was consistent, though.

Johnny- I have been to both parks several times. Typhoon Lagoon is more scenic and has lots of trees and a better atmosphere than Wet-n-Wild. Wet-n-wild does have a lot of various rides for both adults and children but it is not as scenic. Shelter in terms of a awning is available at WW but no "sandy" beach. I would suggest Typhoon Lagoon with such a small child.
