Advantages: Easy to get around

Disadvantages: None

This is a great park for 3 reasons:

1. It's easier to navigate than somewhere like the Magic Kingdom
2. It's got some big, scary rides if you like them that way
3. It's great for film buffs.

My favourite ride in this park is, without a doubt, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster with Aerosmith. It's fantastic! It's an indoor attraction, in the dark which means you can't see what's coming (!) and the idea behind it is that you're going to an Aerosmith concert in a "super-super stretch limo". When you first go in, you see the band on a big screen rehearsing in a studio. They look up and go "Oh, we've got all these people coming, we're gonna need that super stretch limo!" then you go through into the actual ride.

You can't hear the music until you're sitting in your seat; each headrest has its own individual speaker and you get bombarded with Aerosmith songs which accompany you on your ride. It goes from 0-60mph in something like 3 seconds. It just feels as though it takes off like a rocket, it's such a rush! You spin around for a couple of minutes trying to sing along (which is difficult!) and then you're screeching to a halt. Everyone gets off looking more than a bit windswept and it's really funny. Then you go out and see the photo they take of you in the ride (which you can buy should you wish). We loved this ride; we got off, ran round and went straight back on.

Another popular ride here is the Hollywood Tower of Terror and I hated it. It's meant to be a lift that drops to the bottom of the building so it takes you up and then just drops you all the way down. It did nothing for me whatsoever other than make me feel extremely sick. But most people I know love it and go on it again and again.

Another good ride here is the Great Movie Ride. You sit in a big car and take a trip through the movies of the past years right back to the golden age of Hollywood. There are actors in here acting out various scenes from famous movies.

There are some really good shows in this park such as Beauty and the Beast live and Fantasmic. Fantasmic is a night time show of lasers, fireworks and the age old good v evil story, with the Sorcerer Mickey Mouse as the main character. It's hard to explain exactly how this show works but it's AMAZING. You must see it if you go to this park. Everyone raves about it.

One very nice feature of this theme park is the Animation Courtyard. Here you will see Disney Animators sitting and drawing various characters. For a unique gift or souvenir, you can have them draw you any character you like, from any Disney film you like. I don't know how much this is but I imagine it depends on how big the picture is, how detailed etc. It's probably worth it though for a unique picture of your favourite Disney character drawn by an actual Disney Animator.

All in all, this is a great park and like most things Disney, caters for pretty much everyone.

Summary: A great park that caters for all ages
