...to America and in particular Disney believe it or not I was 30 before I got there. I almost thought I would never get there. As the date of the holiday got nearer I began to think that maybe I was a little too old to be going, but deep down I couldn't wait to get there. There were three of us going myself, my mum and my grandmother so three generations. We were all very excited when the day eventually arrived and we boarded the plane. We had ... Read review

...being a fan of the Disney animations in my younger years, (and if I admit it still now) Disney World naturally seemed a destination to consider. Booking A strange magnetism drew us towards the Disney World brochure on the top shelf of Thomas Cook. The depiction of Disney summed it up; a child laughing, sitting on top of his [seemingly] father’s shoulders. Laughing, Father & Son = fun and love. That is the magic of Disney, fun and love, and overpriced ... Read review

You tingle all over with the sheer excitement of what is through those grands gates (past the queues, of course)...

Firstly is the Magic Kingdom, this is the park most associated with Disney due to the amazing castle. It is usually pink, but when ... Read review

...he was taking us to Disney World Florida for a week. I have no idea how we packed so much into a single week. My first trip I was excited of course, but not nearly as much as I looked forward to it the second and third time around. I had seen the adverts on TV showing children running into Mickey's arms, and to be honest thought, what a load of c**p. I thought that was just an advertising gimmick that went way over the top. I admit now that I was ... Read review
