Did you find rider swap slowed you down a lot? I guess it must take twice as long to do anything. I bet you know all the great spots to sit outside the rides though!

I like the fact that you’re so specific in your notes. It means a lot to me to know not only which garage you parked in at Disney Springs but which lot too. And I am not even joking! It feels like I’m right there with you. Hehe.

T-Rex always looks fun but we’ve never made it there. Disney Springs is just so good these days. It’s a good distraction from the parks!

Rider swap absolutely slowed us down! It was painful! Universal's system is so much more efficient (stay tuned for more on that ) On the plus side it did allow for some much needed breaks to rest the weary old feet!

Specific on the most menial things... anything of importance didn't make it into my notes. I am happy you are enjoying the detail in parking locations though!

I love Disney Springs, so sad we didn't get there more on this trip (although it is such an evening destination in my opinion so much harder when lugging around a toddler!)

Great day - hope Joan recovered from her Everest ordeal quickly.

Charlie loves those animals doesn’t he? With his bucket it reminded me of the programme Harry and his bucket full of dinosaurs - you’ll have to watch it on YouTube or read the books to him I bet he’d love them.

Haha I had never heard of Harry and his bucket of dinosaurs until my sister mentioned it on seeing all my photos... so funny and very fitting!

He loves those Seaworld animals so much, they are still played with every day! (Along with many other animals figures that we have collected since!)

I love that you managed to grab a few photopass pics of just you and Charlie at the entrance, then Paul joined in, then Joan and John too... a great start to the day.

Poor Joan on Everest... my in-laws have never forgiven me for making them go on it a few years back. They had to have a sit down for a while to recover afterwards. Bonus ride for you though

Isn't Pandora beautiful? I'm glad you enjoyed your time around there and the river ride.

Food sounds good at T-Rex, and a great themed place for Charlie to enjoy. I think I need to get a Landry card before our next visit.

Haha I'm still so proud of Joan for facing her fears and riding Everest... I will be keen to see if she will ever ride it again!

Pandora was so beautiful, just like with Galaxy's Edge I was absolutely blown away! Disney nailed it with both!
