    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages So much to do and see, young and old alike !

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive

    We have just returned from a 2 and a half week adventure in Florida and, whilst there is lots to see and do there, no trip to Florida would be complete without visiting the No.1 vacation destination in the world……'DisneyWorld'. DisneyWorld covers an awesome 47 square miles and they are expanding all the time. There are 4 Theme Parks, 3 Water Parks, numerous Golf courses, 3 main Shopping, dining and entertainment areas, the relatively new World of Sports complex (which hosts a variety of sporting events throughout the year) and a total of 18 Disney and non Disney hotels and resorts. I am going ... more

    5 Stars Absolutely magical Review with images 04/09/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots to see, fun, memories

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Prices

    Disney World, or more particularly the Magic Kingdom, was the second visit of my recent holiday in Florida. I have been to Disney a few times before but not for many years. I was with three friends on holiday, two of whom had been before and one who hadn't. We were all keen to relive our childhoods and meet Mickey again! LOCATION: Walt Disney World has to be the most famous theme park in the world. It is located in Orlando and is fairly easy to find. If you travel along the I4 (the main road through Orlando) then the Walt Disney World Resort is signposted clearly from the road. Once in the ... more

    5 Stars An intro to Disney World and the Magic Kingdom Review with images 05/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Every bit as magical as the brochures promise!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very expensive, a lot of walking is necessary and you have to plan well to fit everything in!

    It's every kid's fantasy to take a trip to Disney World and every parent's fantasy to be able to take them there. I will say from the start that Disney definately isn't for everyone - cynics of the Disney culture and it's almost sickly sweet way of making your hand dig deeper in your pocket will not be converted. In fact, if you do not go with the attitude of taking Disney at face value or the pleasure you will get from seeing your children's faces light up then it is not worth going at all. However If, like me, you are a big kid at heart and have enjoyed all things Disney you have encountered ... more

    5 Stars When You Wish Upon a Star... 02/04/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Everything!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be pricey, barely enough time to do it all

    *21April2010: Updated this review to remove pictures, am highly annoyed to see my travel pictures from dooyoo floating on other review sites without my permission!!!!* "It all begins with a Dream" My fascination with Walt Disney borders on obsession- to the point that I am even doing my undergrad dissertation on him. To me, this man is nothing less than someone who revolutionized the world. Going to Disney World- the really popular one in Florida- has always been a dream of mine; one that took time to fulfill since this place easily ranks among the most expensive of all my travels. It might ... more

    5 Stars Walt Disney World: miles of fun for everyone! 22/12/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great theme parks, hotels and weather

    Disadvantages Disadvantages 9 hour flight and almost too much to do!!

    Walt Disney World in Florida is the largest of any of the Disney Parks in the world and covers over 46 square miles!! It consists of: 4 major theme parks (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney MGM Studios and and the new Animal Kingdom) 3 water parks Over 15 hotels and 1 camp site Dining, leisure and shopping activities. It's such a big place that it would be impossible for me to tell you everything about it, but I'll give a brief background and choose some of my favourite things! I have done some other ops on Disney as well in more details, so please feel free to check those out as well! Getting ... more

    5 Stars A visit to Disney and Sea world Review with images 07/02/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic,Brings out the child in us all

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The flight from the UK for us Brits. Otherwise none

    I had always dreamed of going 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 booked to stay at one of the Disney hotels. We were all so excited when we arrived that it was bung the bags down and off to ... more

    Advantages Advantages Brilliant parks, something for everyone, magical

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive

    Introduction ~~ You've wanted to go for years, you've seen it on holiday programmes and would just love to picture yourself right there in Florida at one of the Disney Parks being scared to life on a magnificent "bigger and better" theme park ride. Or if that's not you're thing strolling around one of the many, many mini-countries in Epcot. Whatever you enjoy and like its there at Disney, Orlando, Florida. The first Disney theme park; Disney land was built in the 1950's in California. However the biggest Disney park and newest is in Florida and as you've probably heard is called Disneyworld ... more

    4 Stars Disneys All Star Music Resort, Disney World. 27/01/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Property on site. Park your car and let Disney do the driving.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very small rooms.

    I opened up the travel section, of the local paper last autumn and couldn't believe my eyes. A quarter page advertisement for Walt Disney World. It stated "Florida residents enjoy a neighbourly rate this fall. Value resorts from $49 per night. Call your Disney Travel Planner at 407-939-1305." At the bottom it had the 'small fine print'. I showed it to my husband, and then phoned the number. A really nice young lady answered all my questions. Len and I had a choice to go to either the 'All-Star Music Resort', or the 'All-Star Sports Resort'. I love music and dancing so it was a really easy ... more

    5 Stars I TALK TO MICE 30/09/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Costly, going home :(

    I was feeling sick of the mediocre ways of Great Britain; sick of a nation of cor blimeys and cuppa teas I felt I needed a holiday but not just any run-of-the-mill holiday... Being a seven year old child at heart I believe I was drawn by some invisible force to this destination; 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 ... more

    5 Stars A frequent visitor's guide to DisneyWorld 07/09/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's big, it's magical, it's the eighth wonder of the modern world

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's a long way away; it needs careful planning to appreciate fully

    My CIAO screen name should give an indication that although I come from the UK side of the pond, I have some predilection for the Sunshine State. I have spent many happy holidays in and around Walt DisneyWorld (WDW) in Florida. My first visit was back in 1980 and this year will mark my twenty fifth return. During that time I have seen, done and worn most of the T-shirts and have also explored many of the bits that one-time visitors just don't have the time to see and would not think to ask about. This review is something of a retrospective on my part but I also hope that I can pass on a hint ... more
