    I LOVE this place! The Hulk roller coaster has been one of my favorites for years! I’m a roller coaster fanatic. The new Jurassic World VelociCoaster is unbelievable!!! I had a three year old and a baby with me and there were many things for them to do and see as well. They have the cutest Dr. Seuss area for kids. If you are a Harry Potter fan this place is a must see. Unfortunately, Harry Potter and the forbidden journey ride was down during this visit which was super disappointing! This is my favorite of the two Universal parks.

    Great fun! I’m a real scaredy cat when it comes to roller coasters and very nearly bottled it on this one. Thank you so much to the amazing team members who went above and beyond to get me on the ride. On a side note, the 60 minute wait ended up being only 35 minutes.

    Walt disney world for me is 5 Mickey Mouses and to see why start reading.
    Barnstormer roller coaster was my first. i was scared to go on first but on my 2nd try it was great.

    The hotels in it are great and so are the buses. They have 2 lines of seats. Also they give you plenty of space to sit.

    There was a restaurant near my hotel it had potato barrels which look like orange barrels so name gives it away.

    And that is why i think you should go to magic kingdom in Walt Disney world.

    Absolutely the best amusement park there is. Beautifully taken care of and the atmosphere is wonderful. Great for all ages. I highly recommend. Flight of Passage is hands down the best ride ever. You have to check this place out.

    So many people go after the big parks, and they miss out on old time fun. They may not have all the robots and dramatic effects, but they are consistent on a good time for a family.
    You can visit for free with an armband the gator venue here at the park. We were so pleased to see Lucas introducing us to muffin, it was a great experience. Had a chance to meet Emma who took care of us in our bill at Johnny Rockets, when we made a mistake. Everything is so pleasant here when you communicate your needs.

    Visited hollywood studios to see how the place is after a 5 year wait and what a a diffrence the star wars additions have made as a star war fan this is probably biased but its amazing all the detail is second to none the rides are epic make sure u ride then multiple times as there so much to see cutting edge rides with massive detail with the millennium falcon looking stunning great day which was finished off with classic fantasmic show Long day but well worth it

    We really loved this place! I am a Disney World regular, & my husband is anti-amusement-park, but we agreed to keep an open mind about what we would find here. It was amazing. We were both very pleased! The main draw for me was the sheer number of roller coasters, & the main draw for him was the opportunity to photograph some animals. When he discovered how short the ride wait times were, he agreed to ride a couple of coasters with me, & I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the animal areas with him. The entire visit was an overwhelming success. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5? The staff at the "vacation" club tent was deceptive in their methods of getting me to their tent. As we were walking, a woman in the middle of the sidewalk, wearing a name badge, asked, "What kind of pass you you have? Are you sure you're getting all the benefits that come with your pass?" Then once I got to the tent, I learned that they weren't concerned with my passholder benefits at all, but were instead overly aggressive in their tactics to sell me a week's vacation for $75. The guy at the tent actually asked why I wouldn't want to get my "free" vacation for $75. I told him all I wanted to do was ride roller coasters, & he shouted behind me that he just didn't understand why I was walking away from such an amazing opportunity. Everything else about this park was wonderful. The lines were short, the rides were amazing, & the few other experiences we had in the park were pleasant. We will return. But tip for future visitors: don't fall for the "passholder benefit" pitch from the employee on the sidewalk.

    Wow! We only visited the museum, but it was really well done. The museum is free so if you’re on a tight budget definitely do it. My boys loved the extensive collection of firearms, and I enjoyed learning some of the history behind them (especially reading about Cocoaine Cowboys). In addition, the artwork was wonderful and some was for purchase. There’s an area where they could get their hands on the firearms. Right in the Wynwood area, with galleries to visit. Could easily spend most of the day in the area.

    As your typical grumpy, cynical middle aged man it really surprised me to say that this was phenomenal and an absolute highlight of our trip to Orlando's parks

    Its a spectacular display of fireworks and projections that really encapsulated the whole Disney experience for me and my family. My two girls (10 and 4 years old ) loved every moment of our time and the Happily Ever After display capped everything off. A must-see.

    Bear creek feline center is a must see for anyone traveling in the panhandle. It was only 45 minutes from Panama City beach where we stayed. They have 20 gorgeous cats- jaguars, Florida panther, puma, jaguarundi, bobcats, Servals, and others. On the tour we got to pet and feed the smaller ones. They take excellent care of the animals. They would love to expand but don’t have the funds so everyone please visit and give donations! Jim, Birdy, and Renee were really special awesome tour guides. I learned so much, got amazing photo, and got to get up close to these beautiful creature!

    Very good place to visit! It was my first axe throwing & it was a very good experience. The Grizzly Axes associates were very customer service oriented & provided a very enjoyable experience. Will be recommending all my friends & family!
