Life's about experiences. These are mine.
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 …

So this is the final post of the holiday I promise and it is the now traditional round-up post. Here I group together all the posts to allow you to quickly find the post most relevant to what you are interested in. If you want to do a comparison you can find the round ups …
Our last full day. Boo! We chose to spend it in Universal which has lots of rides for all the family. It also is home to my least favourite ride: “Secure a locker at Hogwarts” which, as I have said previously, is a real pain and poorly designed. I’m tempted to say that wouldn’t have …

As we get ever closer to the end of the holiday the realisation starts to dawn that you only have so many trips to the parks left and so there is much debate about what we should do when. We are also haunted by the thought that this will be the last time that we …
Today’s park was Universal where we had planned a route to include the Simpsons ride, Men in Black, Jaws and then the Beetle Juice show. The park was very quiet and so we were quickly onto the first couple of rides without any fuss at all. The Jaws ride proved more problematical in that it …
