We have spoilt ourselves over the years so when we do the parks we know what we want and where we want to go.

Our first ever visit to the Magic Kingdom was in 95' and that day we started at 8am and left at midnight. Now when we visit we're done in around 6 hours so we go off and fit something different in.

first time I went, it was (how embarrassing...... was for my 18th...I wanted to go to Disney World !!). In March. Spent a few days with plastic macs, weighed down by ballast as there were typhoon warnings at the time!!

Talk about lucky white heather!! LOL

Even planned, with military precision -I still think it's hard to find it restful....once you're there...... the kiddie inside comes out and refuses to go back in until you're on the flight home again!!

I don't think there's anything embarrassing at wanting to go there, it certainly brings out the child in you when you're there.

Don't they like to go on about the weather ? It doesn't matter what weather they have it's always panic stations. We we're caught in a hurricane a few years back, everything was shut down and the hotel lost it's power around 8pm leaving us to just go to bed. The following morning there were trees up-rooted and some had crushed some cars in the car park, we we're lucky our car wasn't near any trees.

Even when we cut it down to 6 or 7 hours it was still tiresome, the heat doesn't help. But Disney is one of those places where you just don't stop. Even in the water-parks you're constantly on the go.

As much as I love it, I'm always ready to come home after two weeks.

I love it when it rains because it cools down the temperature. When it rains over there it's usually done after half an hour, unlike here where it can rain all day....

I LOVE Tropical Rain Storms........ the charge in the air before: then thundering of the rain as it fall amid the warm temperature: and then the clear pure atmosphere afterwards.

It's part of the holiday. I don't actually mind tbh.
