Aye, good point, one hundred and four weeks then, and they'll build the roof first.

Sat in the Florida sun, Was hoping they'd at least start the piling whilst I'm away.

Pleased about this, you can settle an argument. Which is better, Busch Gardens or Universal's Islands of Adventure?

Have seen neither yet. We've Bush Gardens planned in for Tuesday 24th and Universal IOA for Wednesday 25th.

We've so far done Blizzard Beach, Seaworld, Typhoon Lagoon & Hollywood Studios. Need early night now as it's a long long day at Magic Kingdom tomorrow.

Do Universal b4 Disney , you will know what I mean when you do it in that order

I've no idea what that means.

I'm sure he/she means Disney is frap.
Lil kids love it tho.

Just got back from Magic Kingdom and I can totally disagree with that comment. The day was magical for both myself and the kids. We've still only covered half the park and now need to look at our schedule to see how we can fit in another day at Magic Kingdom as it was that good.

I haven't got any kids as I'm forbidden to breed.

I don't think I would like Florida.

Did you do Peter Pan and Philharmagic? Also, if you're flagging towards evening, go on the Blue Line in Tomorroworld and refuse to get off. Nice cool sit down for half an hour.

In Busch Gardens, head for Cheetah hunt first as the queues get really long, and you have to do Sheikra - fantastic. Also, Gwazi is horrible, right bone and teeth shudderer. Massive Funnel cakes.

IoA is fantastic. Spiderman was ground-breaking at the time the park opened and is still brilliant. Harry Potter made me feel ill. Mythos is the best theme park restaurant in Orlando IMO.

Mountain biking down Blackcomb mountain in Whistler and nearly hitting a brown bear shats all over any of this plastic American y.

Not if your kids are too young to bike and are at risk of being eaten by a bear. I thought you said you'd not been to Orlando.

I haven't, I also won't be going. Nothings really that exciting if imminent death isn't involved.

And you well know I am legally prevented form breeding.

Slightly O/T but Downtown Disney was a little dissapointing and planet Hollywood certainly wasn't what I'd hoped it would be.
Here is one from the Family album though.

It means Disney is a class above Universal ! We did Disney for 10 days and the last 2 we went to Universal - a let down in terms of cleanliness/staff etc

If you do Universal first then you won't notice how it is Disney's Hull Fair ( just a thought to help ?)

I LOVE Disney and when my youngest is 10 we are going again , problem is my other will be 21 and she will insist on coming along LOL

Just dawned on me that we are now chatting about a Mickey Mouse institution ! Magical Kingdom , now you see it , now you don't

Your sig shares my sentiment at this moment.

I've come on here to read about the North Stand development, am I in the right place?

In theory yes.

In practice...

There's nothing to see at the moment, so we're filling in. Bit like the test card.

Tarquin, you are a loon. I completely concede on Magic Kingdom as the best for small children, no debate required.

However, Universal's Islands of Adventure rules all for over 10s. The best and wettest water rides (Bilge Rat Barges, Ripsaw Falls, Jurassic Park). The Hulk coaster. Amazing Adventures of Spiderman. Dr Doom's Fearfall. Great restaurant at Mythos, miles better than Disney. Seuss Landing for the little ones. This is all before Harry Potter with Hogsmeade Village and the award-winning Forbidden Journey. Little wonder it's won World's Best Theme Park award in 2 of the last 3 years.

Sounds utter shatpank.

Well done you for getting back on topic.

Tampa has the best water ride(s)

If there's any building going on @ the North Stand tomorrow, I'd imagine the workers would love a go on any water ride.

Forgot to mention, Easty, do your kids like Pokemon? If so, the shop in the Japan area of the world showcase at Epcot is amazing.

Take 'em to the ruddy North York Moors.

You don't even need to leave our great county to see all the World has to offer.
