We absolutely love Disney World, Holywood studio (or for those old enough to remember MGM Studios!) , has changed so much over the last decade. The Star Wars and Toy Story lands are amazing. Every detail thought of. We spent nearly 2 days here during our latest trip.

Our favourite! Was so happy to read this was the waterpark open during our stay. We managed also to pick a relatively quiet day, which was great for our Neurodrivergent boy. The food choices were good with multiple quick serve options.

Love, love, love!! I mean who doesn't?! We spent nearly 3 days visiting this park during our recent stay. We sat on the train a went around the site a couple times. We tried to take in every detail, but there is soo much. Great park.

Mine and my partners favourite, not so much for the kids who found the constant walk boring!! Bit sad as it was one of my favourite parks growing up and visiting. Last visit was 2019 and oh my has it changed! I couldn't even place the old water fountain when I walked through. Very much looking forward to our 2026 trip to see the changes currently in play.

A great day out, that weirdly feels more chilled than the other parks. The avatar flight of passage was a favourite ride among us all and we were fortunate enough to ride it twice during our last trip! Its a must do if you choose to visit. And the Lion King show, the nostalgia. I've been visiting for years (this being my 16th trip) and we always for as long as I can remember, make time to watch thus show. Its great.

The biggest one of course is truly magical. However it's an effort to get from the car park & back. Not a lot new this time that I can think of. My favourite is the classic Small World.

The Star wars village was absolutely amazing. Has brought this park to life. Also Indiana Jones show & Mickey & Mickey. Like that it's a smaller park.
