Our last visit must have been at least 20 us years ago. I really enjoyed it. It’s smaller and more compact than most Disney parks, which suited us. I thought the Starwars section was particularly good and very atmospheric. As I suffer from motion sickness, there were many rides I couldn’t go on, which is a real shame. The Indiana Jones, show was great, but hasn’t changed one bit from 20 years ago! That really surprised me.

Magic Kingdom, is our second favourite Theme Park. Tron was wilder than I thought it would be, and I suffered accordingly. It’s time the petrol cars on tracks was updated though. They spew so much noxious fumes!

Our favourite Theme Park, however, so disappointed that “ the big golf ball”, was out of action. It’s a fabulous experience. Come on Disney, you need to sort that out!

An enjoyable day. Good to see the animals looking in good health and active. I admire the truck drivers commentary. They maintain their enthusiasm, despite mundanley saying the same thing over and over. Fabulous Lion King show.
