Not long back from Orlando and spent a week at the Hard Rock Hotel for Universal and a week at Disney. My kids are a bit older now and they weren’t as blown away by Disney this time but loved Universal as it has by far the better rides. Guardians of the Galaxy at Epcot was pretty impressive mind, but most Disney rides are pretty tame. I must admit that Magic Kingdom infuriated me this time due to the amount of mobility scooters, “strollers”, and generally slow moving people making it nigh on impossible to get round the park. Again, it’s more down to my kids being a bit older, I get that it’s aimed more at younger families.
We were in Magic Kingdom the day after Halloween and couldn’t believe that the whole park had been fully decorated for Christmas overnight. Not only that, hundreds of Americans were wearing Christmas and Happy Holidays tee shirts. Batshit mental!!
Had a brilliant time though and hopefully will go back in the next couple of years. If we do I think we will miss out Disney and just do Universal, Seaworld and maybe another park. Universal’s Epic Universe opens next year and it looks massive from the plans.
On a side note, what’s with the amount of Brazilians in Disney these days? I reckon there were more Brazilians than any other nation there. I kept thinking there were loads of mags everywhere but a good few of the Brazilian teams play in black and white stripes and most of them wore football shirts. Didn’t notice it last time we were there, don’t know if we just hit the Brazilian holidays that week?
