This is some peoples favourite Disney park and it’s easy to see why. We love it but it’s not our favourite. As far as animal parks go, this is one of the best in the world and rides like Expedition Everest and Flight of the Passage are unmissable!

Go here if you are a movie fan. More so if you’re a Star Wars fan. The look and feel of Hollywood Studios is very unique. For the adults I recommend The Brown Derby for food and drinks and of course, do not miss Fantasmic!

It’s our routine now to start a Disney holiday at Magic Kingdom. This is how Disney should feel. From cheerful meet and greets to awesome rides, there is something for everyone here. Casey’s hot dogs are our favourite! Our favourite fireworks show ‘Happily Ever After’ is a must as well. Don’t miss this!

We had an amazing day at Blizzard Beach, both adults and kids. The place was so clean and the staff were great. Both of our kids loved it and didn’t want to leave the ‘training pool’. Can’t wait to go back next year!
