Then when you go with kids... it will open your eyes up to even more joy.
That's certainly true! I'm already excited about bringing my daughter to Disney World - and we're not planning to go until next year!
I think this is especially true at the Universal parks. There are so few rides that are made for kids and are without a height requirement. Hopefully by the time our daughter is tall enough I can still take those crazy rides!
You're welcome! It was a very easy and economical way to get to Universal!
Oh dear...
Well... that's not so great.
It was a really confusing resort, but I'm sure the late hour didn't help.
I feel silly complaining about walking outside to get places since you need to do that at practically EVERY Disney resort... but I think the Royal Pacific had spoiled me by being so contained!
The back side of water (feature)????
It was a bummer - especially for him. I feel like he missed out on a lot since it was such a short trip! At least he got to experience Volcano Bay since we both enjoyed it so much.
Sounds good.
It was great! Quite rich, but very tasty.
Hmmm... I liked having the option of walking...
I REALLY enjoyed being able to either ride or walk to the parks. Even if you didn't get there any faster by walking, sometimes it FELT like you were and that was nice!
I don't entirely remember... maybe a 10 minute ride? You also have to factor in the time to wait for the boat and then to board and exit the boat... so at least 15 minutes if you manage to catch a boat almost immediately. I'm pretty sure we could walk to IOA from our RPR room in 10 minutes flat!
Didn't get there... so thanks for the review!
It's a great water park! If you have a chance to go sometime, I'd definitely try it!
We got stuck in the middle of the ride and then they had to manually push us forward to continue... so it may have soured our experience. The other slides were so fun (and had no issues) so they ranked higher for us.
I KNOW! To this day I can't believe I tried that crazy slide! I still remember what it looked like when that trapdoor opened and WHOOOOSH! I went down the slide!
That sounds pretty fun.
It was! I'm glad I tried it!
I'd be a bit (no... a lot) worried to do that.
I still question if that was a good plan, but it worked fine. I was concerned that renting a locker would result in us being too far back in the water coaster line... in reality, it probably would've been fine. I've always rented a locker at the Disney waterparks and likely would at Volcano Bay if we ever go back.
I bet! Glad it worked out, though.
It was a rough 10 minutes of so of trying to find our things… thankfully we found them!
Huh. I just assumed the towels would've been free.
It may have changed, but you had to rent a towel (I don't remember the cost - $5?) or bring your own. We did the next best thing and brought the resort's towels!
Nice! Good to know.
When it buzzes, you go in a virtual line that's separate from the regular line? Like an express pass?
Each attraction either says "Ride Now," in which case you enter and don't need a return time; or a comment about the virtual wait time, in which case you tap on the attraction to create your "spot" in line. You aren't able to enter a line with a virtual wait unless your Tapu-Tapu says it's your turn. You can only be in one virtual line at a time, but you can do other things (the lazy river, the wave pool, or slides with a "ride now" listed at the attraction entrance) while you wait for your Tapu-Tapu to alert you that's it's time to ride. You joined a short line if you held a place in the virtual line, but it tended to be around 10 minutes. This worked fine for us as we were there an off-peak time, so several slides were listed as "ride now" all day and even the virtual lines were on the shorter side (15-30 minute waits). If you were there during a peak spring break or summer period I would think it would limit the number of slides you could do!
Liked that one.
It was a fun attraction! I wasn't a big fan of the creepy line to get to the ride vehicles (I may be a BIT on the jumpy side...
), but I was glad to find something that G enjoyed so much!
I mean, seriously... we're standing in front of a ferocious T-Rex and you're SMILING?!
You're a good wife.
So... what will your future demands be?
I was happy to enjoy the water rides again as we were wearing appropriate clothing for it! Since we were already drenched, what does it matter if we get MORE drenched?!
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed that area.
I really love Seuss Land. The theming is excellent and it's so fun and colorful! It has several fun attractions, too!
Good ride.
It is quite enjoyable!
Those things looked so small.
I almost ordered that, then saw them on someone else's tray. Nope!
Good move! I felt so bad when that was Grant's meal... he was hungry and NOT impressed!
Oh! didn't know it was new.
It was new since my last trip in 2015 - it took over the spot where Twister! used to live. It was quite fun!
He does!
I laughed SO HARD when I saw that picture! How on earth does he look so calm (nearly bored?!).
And... I rode that ride, once upon a time.
So did I! I visited for a single day back in 2006 - that was before I read guidebooks and online message boards and knew how to better navigate a theme park!
We stood in some VERY long lines!
I took one of my DD there.
It's an excellent photo spot!
I googled... it was Stan. Maybe he (Nigel) was trying to not be Stan... i.e. not a face character??
Well, that makes me feel better! I felt like such an idiot when I said, full of enthusiasm, "Hello, Stan!" and his reply was "I'm Nigel!"
Um, what?! Do you two switch out who greets Knight Bus visitors?!
There ya go!
I figure the problem will take care of itself.
It was excellent! They just released the tickets for
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in concert for next year - and I absolutely bought them!
I get that. I did it back to back with my younger DD a couple years ago in California... I didn't feel that great after the second go-round.
I was thrilled he tried it. I didn't want to push my luck!
That place is ridiculously well themed!
It's AMAZING!!!
It is! I couldn't believe it on my first visit when I saw how amazingly dark it was! (How do some visitors not get injured back there by not allowing themselves to adjust to the low light?!)
Shoot! I saw it on my first trip but certainly missed photographing it. There's so much to see that's it's easy to miss things!
The curse is the price, actually.
That's certainly the truth!
You had to point it out???
Okay, not exactly... G
may have noticed the gigantic dragon at the end of the street.
Thank you!
Wasn't it GREAT?! It's amazing how much time those Express Passes save!
And I really wanted to see it, too! It just never worked out, so... next time!
You're very welcome!
