Just home a few days and a lot wiser...
Hi all
We just came home from our wonderful 3 weeks on Sunday and even though this was our 6th visit in 10 years i learned so much more on this trip than the rest combined so i'm going to be watching the forums closely and trying to help in any way i can. Oh and we have decided to do it all again in 2025 - the saving starts immediatley. DG

Unless things change dramatically we will do less Disney and more Universal and sight seeing.
Disney was very expensive and crowded - maybe in 2025 Covid will be a distant memory and all staffing issues will be sorted. DG

Thats how we felt too. Universal definitely deserves more time and if you go after Summer 2025, the new Epic Universe should be open! We're also going to throw in Busch Gardens and Kennedy Space Centre

As you can see from our trip history we've always stayed in Glenbrook before this trip - Hampton Lakes was beautiful and we were very lucky with our beautiful DIBB Villa - we were only and extra 5 minutes drive from the 192 junction but we had all we needed and more really close to us.
We will definately be looking at Hampton Lakes again for our return trip. DG

Oh wow tough questions -
Highs - too many to mention but we got riding Flight of Passage and Rise of the resistance which were just amazing. First visit to a beach in Florida at Daytona and found a really cool second hand record shop. Completely blown away by the Bourne Stuntactular at universal - an amazing show. The lows - So hard to get food at Disney - so many of the snack stands closed due to lack of staff and huge queues for expensive not good food at other places - cosmic ray's springs to mind. Some poor service offsite as well due to staffing issues - every business/Shop we visited had signs up advertising for staff. Traffic was particularily bad too with long queues on the I4 and 192. Hope this gives you some insight. DG

Hi, welcome home!
I’m intrigued - what sort of things do you feel you’ve learned this time compared to your previous visits? |
