    Should I Skip Transformers?

    I'm not a fan of the Transformer movies but tried the ride. I liked Spiderman much better but the ride experiences are similar. Transformers for me is not a must do. I would say if the line is under 20 minutes give it a go and decide for yourself.

    Surviving the Summer Heat in the parks

    I think the issue is more what you are used too. It's really hot here but it gets soooo swampy in July and August in Orlando that we are uncomfortable. We use chilly towels and mini fans to help. Also drink tons of water. Eat lunch inside somewhere to take a break in the hottest part of the day.
