Planning a Trip to Orlando? Here are some Hints and Tips

We’ve been doing the Florida Disney trips for so long now that people have started asking us for advice on planning their own holidays. I have been sending this information out to people that wanted it via email but I thought that it might be useful to put this together in a blog post. This …

USA ’18 – Day 7 – Rivers of Light

After the last few days frenetic activity it was nice to have a late start today. Our fastpasses for the day were all for late afternoon in Animal Kingdom. This didn’t mean, of course, that I could wake later and lie in, no I’m useless at that so I was still up just after seven. …

USA '14 – Day 6 – Soarin' through EPCOT

EPCOT is a real mix of rides and tranquil spaces in the form of the World Showcase, a dozen countries represented by a famous buildings. The UK has a pub, of course! However, the boys aren’t that keen on that part of the park (it’s “boring”) so we only did the rides. As we had …

USA '14 – Day 4 – Under the sea

I’ve said this before but Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a beautiful place to be as it is by far the lushest and greenest of any of the parks, Disney or otherwise. It’s a real pleasure to be there and to just wander around. Of course there was some serious rides and entertainment to be had …
