Excellent park with plenty of new rides to explore as this was our first visit in 6 years! And Disney didn’t disappoint Plenty of PhotoPass photographers around to capture that special moment so everyone was in shot and involved Level of cast members had gone down in our experience but still a magical place

We’ve visited this water park many times in the past and we’re hoping that it was a chance to visit Blizzard Beach but it was closed for refurbishment Anyhow we had a fab day here And although we had to queue to get in it didn’t seem that busy as we were able to get sunbeds close to the lagoon pool and didn’t have to queue too long for any of the water rides Popcorn and doughnuts went down a treat too !!!

Well it’s not called the most magical place on earth for nothing Only one ride that wasn’t opened yet that wasn’t available but everything else was spot on Parades excellent rides amazing and fireworks were spectacular The new (to us) system of queuing seemed to work well and the virtual queues to get the new rides Tron were great Park was clean and tidy and everywhere there were smiles

The most amazing ride here in Epcot Guardians of the Galaxy In our opinion the best ride of all A virtual queue system for this one so other than waking up for 7am it was easy and well worth the early start !!! There was also the Flower & Garden festival on whilst we were there so there were some beautiful flower displays along with amazing topiary too and a nice touch with foods and drinks specially made for the occasion to enjoy (which charge) whilst going around the world
