      Sensational park. The theming for galaxies edge and Toy Story land are fantastic. Lots of really good food to be had including the ronto breakfast wrap. The re-theme for rock and rollercoaster is a great addition to the park next to the classic must ride tower of terror. We ate in the rodeo round up bbq and I have to say the food was really good.

      We went to Typhoon Lagoon which is their twin park. We love it! We have been plenty of times before when in Florida. It's very clean and we love the music that's always being played. There's plenty of water slides, lazy river and a little area for the little ones too. Would recommend to anyone going to Florida 👍🏻
