All holidays to Florida from the UK start with a long-haul flight on an aeroplane. I am writing our holiday diary in some sort of order however the diary will take the form of useful posts. Posts I hope will help others get more out of their ultimate family holiday. For the time of year […]
I had read that if you are staying in a cabin and want to get around Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground easily then you need to hire a golf cart. Not only that but pre-booking is essential as they could all be hired out. We didn’t have a hire car at this stage of our […]
We dithered and we dithered about booking to stay at Universal, in fact about even visiting Universal in Florida at all. I am so glad we did though as it was one of our favourite parts of the holiday. I’m also glad that we booked to stay at a Universal hotel as the bus transport […]
We LOVED and I mean LOVED our meet and greets at the two Universal parks in Florida – Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. They were such a refreshing change to our meet and greets at Disney. Now don’t get me wrong we had some amazing meet and greets at Disney World, with our highlights […]
I spent hours going through websites trying to work out which were the best rides to Fast Pass at Walt Disney world, Florida. I spent an equal length of time looking at videos of the rides at all of the Disney parks. How much research did I do before we went to Universal Orlando theme […]

Kissimmee itself has managed to retain a charming old-fashioned […]
I had this plan to stay onsite for the duration of our time at Walt Disney World in Florida. My husband, however, had other ideas. It took a fair amount of persuading to convince me that we also needed some time spent off-site. We spent the first two nights of our holiday on-site at Animal […]
Hands up! Who loves Forrest Gump as much as we do? It was an absolute must for us to eat at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. when we were holidaying in Florida this year. It’s actually a chain of restaurants across the USA (there’s even one in London) all themed on the great movie from 1994 […]
Here is a list of all the rides across the four Walt Disney World parks that have no height restrictions. This means that anyone can ride on this ride regardless of age. But does that also mean that these rides are appropriate for all ages? Read on for a brief description of each ride and […]
The first hotel we stayed at during our 3 week holiday to Florida was Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. This was a hotel we knew we really wanted to stay at but for us it was expensive so we only allowed a 2-night stay in our schedule. I was concerned that this wasn’t long enough to […]
