  • A good park, but not a patch on the Universal parks. Disney need to up there game if they want to compete. With Universal introducing the Marvel Universal park next year they might have Orlando sown up from 2025.

    Ian Davies reviewed Disney's Hollywood Studios 04 Oct, 2024

  • Didn't get to do as much of this as we would have liked. The Avitar ride is "out of this world", by far the best ride in Orlando, I think. But we had to queue for 2.5 hours, which was too much in any ones day. After that we could just about stand up for the rest of the day. The rest of the park was OK, but we didn't do it justice.

    Ian Davies reviewed Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park 04 Oct, 2024

  • We love Epcot, but it's not for everyone. Our kids love the big rides, so its not for them. We just love the low key element, you can just take your time and walk round visiting Disney's take on other countries. We liked the food and wine festival. The end of night laser show was great.

    Ian Davies reviewed Epcot 04 Oct, 2024

  • This is Orlando, yes its dated, yes it's expensive. But, if you have small children, would you really visit Orlando and not go to the Magic Kingdom. The firework spectacular at the end of the night is what it says "Spectacular". It never disappoints.

    Ian Davies reviewed Magic Kingdom Park 04 Oct, 2024

  • Our kids really love this water park. Yes, it's a bit dated, but it does have the wave machine which is great. Still a great day out. And no parking charge, which is a plus over Universals Volcano Bay.
