Not quite what I expected from a family holiday. Weather was good, hotel was good although not in the nicest of places. My husband and I took our children here to see the so called wonders of Disney. Well we were very disapointed at Magic Kingdom, Mickey, Mini etc must have been on holiday themselves as we didn't see them at all. the afternoon parade was only 5 floats long at the most, for the excitment of it all it was a disapointment. The new fast pass system was in swing although we were only allowed to use one pass within two hours or when the ride took place, what ever came first. We used the fast pass to ride and we passed it at 12noon, we could return to ride that ride at 5.10pm, not really a fast pass is it. You couldn't que elsewhere as there was just hours of it (which I expected). When Disney cut back on staff I think they actually cut a lot of the Magic too. My family and I have been to Disney Paris and that was fantastic, couldn't fault it.

Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure are a deffinate must expecially for all thrill riders who are prepared to brave the Island of Adventure. Animal Kingdom Fab, on entering you were greeted by Mini, Pluto, Goofy, Rafiki, and many more, the day here was brilliant for both adults and children.
MGM was great too with Winnie Pooh and Tiger who took time with your children and never rushed any child adult or OAP. Another well organised park, if ever I go to Orlando again to visit Disney then I would only get a pass for a few days for Disney and more for Universal and Islands of Adventure. A good holiday but I wouldn't rush back and after going once I know that when I do go back where I want to stay and what I want to visit for the all round best holiday for my family. Value for money? Well when my son saw Winnie and Kissed him on his nose it wouldn't have bothered me if I had payed a million for the holiday!!!
