In my opinion the park has improved from my previous visits and there is also work being done in the park. It was very busy when I was there and that was in early July so waiting times for many of the rides were roughly 45 minutes plus. I like the fact there are so many photographers around doing photo pass/memory maker. This park ticket was included in with the other disney parks on a 14 day for 7.

This ticket was part of the disney 14 day pass, is it good value for money, not sure but compare to other packages yes. This park in my opinion, does the best firework display at the end of the day and it is a joy to watch.

I love Magic Kingdom it is one of my favourite parks. There have been a number of changes to the park since from my last visit. The park is not just about roller coasters it has something for everyone from the boat ride of Small World to Pirates of the Caribbean. I was there at the beginning of July so the parks were very busy and hot. Our ticket was part of a 14 day pass which allowed us the freedom to hop between parks.

This is part of the disney 14 day ticket which allowed us to visit as many times as we wanted. Its a good park with a good variety within it. I thoroughly enjoyed the avatar ride and would happily do it again and again.

4 stars:

Nice water park to escape the theme parks. The wave pool was the highlight. We’ve never seen a wave pool as big and if you like them, you don’t want to miss this one. The range of other slides we don’t think were as good as Blizzard beach but it was still nice to have a slightly more chilled out day.

Great theme park, lots to do for our age kids who were 9 and 10. Queues were huge again. Indiana Jones show was the highlight and great for a break from the heat.

Trusted Customer reviewed Disney's Hollywood Studios 01 Aug, 2025
5 stars:

Great water park to keep you a little cooler from the Florida heat and you need a break from the theme parks. Not too big so easy to navigate. Plenty of food options and queues were not too big.

Trusted Customer reviewed Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park 01 Aug, 2025
5 stars:

I feel this park is completely underrated. I didn’t have much expectations for this one so was pleasantly surprised. It’s beautiful inside with lots of animals to see on your way round. The queues were nowhere near as big as in the other parks (except perhaps the Avatar but you can get a single fast pass for this one) so we managed to do more rides here. The safari experience was great and a bit different.

Trusted Customer reviewed Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park 01 Aug, 2025
4 stars:

Amazing theme park but it is big and felt like there was so much walking. In the heat with a 9 and 10 year old we couldn’t cover it all. Only managed three rides as the queues were huge and the heat was unbearable. We went back one evening for the fireworks and a visit to the Space 220 restaurant which was a great experience.
