Shark Reef at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon will be closing permanently on October 2nd, 2016. Â This attraction is one of the most unique on property in that guests are able to snorkel across a sunken wreckage area where you swim with stingrays and sharks. Â The water is kept at colder temperatures in order to accommodate the comfort of the animals inhabiting the area. Â While this attraction may be closing, a family raft ride will be added to the park in 2017. Â We will keep you posted on the development of this new attraction!
