The best park for all thing Disney - did 2 days there - great family rides

Gillian Mcleod reviewed Magic Kingdom Park 01 Nov, 2026
5 stars:

Fantastic water park, all ages are catered for. Plenty to do and lots of places selling drinks and snacks. The lazy river is a nice relaxing way to cool down during the midday heat. There is a great kids section with various obstacles for them to play on. Towels are also supplied at no extra cost so your not carrying wet towels home at the end of your visit.

5 stars:

We absolutely love Epcot. The wide open spaces, everything seems to blend together from Spaceship earth to the world showcase. Each land has something special to offer. We have fortunate to have been there as a couple and with our grandchildren and still manage to find something new to do. Nobody does fireworks like Disney and Epcot are brilliant.

Typhoon lagoon wasn’t open during our visit this time, however we were fortunate to have been before. This is our favourite water park, somehow it seems a little bit more chilled or maybe it’s just us.

5 stars:

It’s the most magical place, from 2 yr old to 90 yr old it never stop giving you that feeling when waking up main st. The street entertainment is great from afternoon parades through to nighttime parades and evening fireworks. Lots of things to fill your day and plenty of eateries for drinks and snacks. Oh and of course the rides.

The customer service and support through the whole booking process was excellent. All staff were very helpful and had a lot of experience . I rated the Disney Blizzard beach as excellent, however we did not visit the water parks, so applied the rating to the other parks which we visited every day.
