The popular rides get mega busy so plan your day before you go. We rope dropped Rise of the Resistance and waited an hour, and paid for Genie Plus to book Slinky, Mickey and Minnie Railway, and some other rides. If you can, split it over 2 days (we did 2 full days where we did Hollywood Studios and Epcot for half a day each twice).

Well laid out. The staff are friendly and sent a diver into the pool when my husband lost his prescription sunglasses on a water slide. The lazy river is one of the longest I've been on. Would have given 5 stars except the shower area is very basic and the cubicle doesn't have a door, only a curtain which isn't wide enough to cover both ends of the gap.

5 stars:

Genie+ is very effective here, worth the extra money. Try to do the rides in a sensible geographical order so you're not frequently criss-crossing the park.

5 stars:

Just generally a really nice place to walk around. Only the France area was a bit crowded because it's a dead-end at the bakery but during the flower and garden festival there were lots of lovely arrangements to look at. The rides were very good. Guardians is worth the effort of learning how to best do virtual queue, wouldn't say it's worth paying for an individual lightning Lane - hold your hands in the air while you're on it.

Early morning safari is the best. The Avatar rides are underwhelming so don't queue for hours for them, but the scenery in that area is excellent.

Amazing water park suitable for everyone! Spent hours in the wave pool like big kids! Clean and tidy in all locations of the park. Would be a dream to visit again and work with attraction tickets

Absolutely loved this park but more importantly all Disney parks. It would be a dream to work with and create content for attraction tickets / Disney as everything was so simple and easy. No issues with tickets and it made the holiday the next experience

First time visiting Animal Kingdom. The safari is a must and we enjoyed the overall animal theme. Not as much to do as the other Disney parks but it provides a unique experience. The Avatar area is great and you must go on their rides. Soaring is also fantastic.

The OG Disney park. We spent 3 days there in total and took our time enjoying ourselves. Busiest Disney park of them all but it’s to be expected. Rides are good fun, so many Disney themed food options and all staff were friendly and helpful. The fireworks display at night is always worth the wait.

Trusted Customer reviewed Magic Kingdom Park 08 May, 2024
5 stars:

The ‘adult’ Disney park. It has a calming vibe whilst also providing something different with the focus on communications, nature and technology. Ratatouille and Guardians of the Galaxy are an absolute must in terms of rides. Great variety of food and drink in the countries. We visited this park 3 times because we loved it so much. The night show is spectacular.

Trusted Customer reviewed Epcot 08 May, 2024
5 stars:

The ‘thrilling’ Disney park. Good mix of shows, rides and things to see, both new and old. Plenty of food and drink options. Star Wars land and Toy Story land are highlights. A shame they don’t have as much “studio” attractions any more to give you an insight as to how things work behind the scenes. Hopefully new things will come soon.
