Typhoon Lagoon

Had a great day at the waterpark, the snokelling was my best bit, sadly I can't swim and take photos. As you can see it was all too much for James. It wouldn't be a holiday unless we ended up in the First Aid room at some point but both kids at once is embarrassing, they're a bit battered but okay. We then went to Bongos; Gloria Estafan's bar for a cocktail; and made it home just in time before the mother of all storms kicked in.

Ecopt with friends

What a lovely day but not enough time, could have done with at least another 6 hours. I think we need another 3 weeks here at least. I love the picture with James and the kids, he became very popular when he pulled out a packet of cookies from his backpack.

Magic Kingdom

What an amazing day, it really is the place where dreams come true. The afternoon parade, the fireworks meeting Mickey and Minnie, also the electric parade, plus lots of rides. We all went on Space Mountain.

Largest McDonalds in the World/Universal

Well it is fair to say it rained. We went to what is said to be the largest Mc D in the world, though I am not convinced. It had arcades etc in; not being a McD fan I wasn't overly impressed but the kids loved it.

Afterwards we went to Universal, Ethan & I went on Rock It, which was quite a good roller coaster & MIB which was fun. Natalia & James went on ET she loves that ride. We all went on the Simpson's Simulator ride that was great fun, we laughed the whole way. The360 show and fireworks at thhe end were great.

Hollywood Studios

100 degrees F is a bit warm for trailing round a theme park and it was bedlam. Having said that there were some great shows and Ethan and I went on the Tower of Terror; which is the best ride I have ever been on.

We also saw our first wild snake; in the neighbourhood, thank the lord it was only about 15/20 cm long and one cm wide. I could just about cope but never want to see another one.

Pirates Cove/ Universal Adventure Island

Great fun playing Crazy Golf, shame Ethan fell down the hill on the 18th and grazed himself.

Harry Potter land was great Ethan and I went on the Dragon's Challenge twice and we all when on the mini roller coaster.

Magic Kingdom

Magical, what can I say apart from a week wouldn't be long enough. Proud of Natalia for being brave enough for Thunder Mountain.

Disney Quest/ Planet Hollywood

Disney Quest was great but very loud but the kids loved it. Ethan enjoyed Planet Hollywood but James and I didn't think it was value for money and they showed a clip of Child's Play at 5.30pm, so an official complaint willbe going in.

Rest Day

Animal Kingdom Disney

Another greast day but we are all knackered.

Looking forward to an easy day tomorrow with friends.

James off to play golf am. Staying at Southern Dunes Golf Resort. One of the best public courses in Florida is just too much for him. Especially when the lush green is closed for renovation, on the plus side of Disney ticket includes their 9 hole golf course.

Sea World

Another incredible day. As much as we enjoyed the Shamu Rocks show, James and I preferred the dolphin & whale show. Sadly due to storms we didn't get to see the Sealion show. Ethan and I went on both roller coasters. Natalia loved the mini roller coaster.
