At Disney's Typhoon Lagoon, guests are generally not permitted to carry beverages, including water or soda, while floating in the "Castaway Creek" lazy river. This policy is primarily for safety and hygiene, preventing spills that could contaminate the water and avoiding the risk of plastic or glass containers causing injury to other guests in the moving current. While you can bring your own refreshments into the park (excluding alcohol and glass), they must be consumed at your seating area or on the "dry" walking paths. In 2026, Disney maintains strict rules about coolers, which are inspected at the gate for prohibited items like loose ice or glass. If you are thirsty, the best strategy is to park your tube at one of the five landing points along the river, walk to a nearby beverage station like "Let's Go Slurpin'," and re-enter the river once you have finished your drink. Note that the park is scheduled for a temporary refurbishment from February to May 2026, so check the calendar before your visit.
