Set in Hogwarts itself, THE ride of the entire Universal parks has to be Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. The castle is amazing and the ride itself is incredible and very hard to describe, but I’ll do my best! The outside of the castle, is exactly like you see it in the films – [...]
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
We don’t usually go to Universal on our trips to Orlando any more. I know that puts us in the minority for British visitors, but unlike Disney, we just don’t feel a need to go back. For us, it is everything that Disney isn’t – it doesn’t have the quality of service, it doesn’t have [...]
Tangierine Cafe – Review
The Tangierine Café is the quick service restaurant located in Morocco in World Showcase, in Epcot. I don’t know how, given the kind of food it sells, but for some reason we had always passed this restaurant by, so for our latest trip we decided that we were definitely going to give it a try. [...]
Deluxe hotels – are they worth it?
If we don’t already have a Walt Disney World holiday booked, then from time to time, you’ll find me checking the prices for our next one. And yes – that included the day we got back from the last trip! So far, every visit we have stayed at a Moderate resort – or Old Key [...]
Artist Point Review
Artist Point was the first of a few signature restaurants we tried this trip. It is one of the less well known ones – certainly much less shouted about than the likes of Jiko or California Grill. It was our first experience of Artist Point and the first time we’d been to Wilderness Lodge, where [...]
Animation Academy – Take 2!
I’ve written about the Animation Academy at Disney’s Hollywood Studios before. But, it being one of my favourite attractions, you’ll have to indulge me a second time – mainly because I want the chance to show off our latest drawings, but I also took some pics that I wanted to share. As I previously mentioned, [...]
Yak and Yeti Quick Service Review
The Anandapur Local Food Cafe is known by most as the Yak and Yeti and is a quick service restaurant located in Asia at Disney’s Animal Kingdom – not to be confused with Anandapur Yak and Yeti Restaurant which is the table service restaurant attached to it. It serves Asian cuisine and is, in our [...]
Q&A: Can I pick up my Disney tickets from a water park?
Question: I want to go to Typhoon Lagoon on my on the 2nd day of arriving in Florida. Can I collect my Disney tickets from here? Answer: It really depends what type of ticket you’ve got and where you bought it from, but the short answer is probably not because you can’t pick up park [...]
Getting to Universal Studios
How to get between Disney and the other attractions in the area, in particular Universal Studios and Sea World, if you’re not hiring a car is a common question. There are two typical options: cab or shuttle and it is this latter option I’m going to discuss here. Mears Transportation has the monopoly on transport [...]
Q&A: Where to spend a special meal and tips on Old Key West
Question: We have just booked a studio at Disney’s Old Key West for our silver wedding anniversary June 2012 and get the dining plan for free. We have been to Florida many times before about 13 I think but this is the first time we have stayed on Disney property. Can anyone suggest where it [...]
