Highs and Lows

Hi, i'm back almost 2 months now from id say the best trip we've had so far. So here goes.
Lows.
Virgin flight. Although i cant blame Virgin for this. When we arrived in Florida we had to circle the airport for almost 2 hours due to a lightning storm in the area. Then when we did land we were the last plane so we had to sit on the runway off ramps for another 90 minutes before we could taxi up to get off the plane. Although it was annoying for me there was a lot of young hungry children on the plane and they let their feeling know. Again it was not the Fault of Virgin and it was nothing that we could do anything about, it just put a dampner on what was an enjoyable flight.
Disney. I said this already while we were there, I think Disney has lost its magic somewhere. Don't get me wrong I love going there and will always go there. Its just seems to have lost its magic as it strives to get you to part with more of our hard earned cash. (they have to keep the shareholders happy.
Fast and Furious Ride. What a waste of time, and I see everyone else seems to think so as there was never more than a 15 min wait for the ride.

Highs.
Volcano Bay. Well there are no words to describe how good this water theme park is. Stayed onsite so had early access to it, so me and DS where in it nearly every morning from 7.30 - 9.30.
FOP. This has got to be the best simulator ride there is in Orlando at the minute. Yes it is worth queing for over 2hrs to get on.
Cabana Bay. Excellent hotel great amenities. Stayed in one of the new towers overlooking Volcano Bay. Room was massive and spotless and was kept spotless by the fantastic cleaners. It was far superior to the Disney value resorts and some of the moderates.
All the theme parks. Had a fantastic time in all the theme parks. Done every single ride there was multiple times. To tell the truth my DS is nearly 14 now so we spent every single day of our 2 week stay in the theme parks. As i said at the start i'm back almost 2 months now and i still feel knackered.
Crowd levels. Yes the Disney parks were crowded but we found the lines for the rides where not to bad. Made good use of the fast passes to make sure we got the headliners sorted. IOA and Universal where easily manageable as well, again made good use of early entry and late nights, but again the ques where manageable.

As i said this was our best trip so far there is a lot more i good mention but im afraid it would take to long to type up.

Glad you enjoyed your trip. We are just back too and totally agree about Disney think it may be our last time. Universal was our favourite on this trip and we had a brilliant time at Volcano Bay the rides are such fun.

It is Embarrassing

Whole decided they should do a ride like that needs to be sacked, then for it to go to concept, then testing, did no-one actually say " ≈≈≈ is this ride and why is it so bad "

So disney do Flight Of passage and Universal F&F at the same time

As i said, Just Embarrassing
