Bit pricey though, Discovery Cove innit , for that kind of money l'd want to keep the fucking Dolphin and take it home with me . Maybe even Barbecue it .

Blizzard Beach is wicked .

Top tip , pretend you are Hispanic and then you can just push in all the queues .

Do not, whatever you do, go to seaworld and think a go on 'the kraken' will be fun. It's terrifying.

Puff.

Me and my kids, who were nine and seven, went on it three times on the bounce.

The scariest "ride", if you can call it a ride, is Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach.
To be fair, the kids went straight on it, I looked down and thought "fookin ell"

Oh and the Mrs was in tears after the Tower of Terror, the kids loved it but wifey isn't one for heights.

Tower of terror and Rock & Roller... Brilliant. Best of the lot though was 'the Hulk'

Another couple of years in other holiday destinations and then I'm going here,put it off for years now,but in two years time we feel the boys will be able to get on just about everything and we'll have a few visits to orlando.

Before anyone says it,i've already been told that nowhere else will match Florida as a holiday destination,i agree with that to a certin extent,as a family holiday i imagine it being hard to beat.

just to let you know mate that nowhere else will match Florida as a holiday destination!

Our kids are getting older now so possibly our last visit this year, but it has been so memorable in the past

I agree definately as a family holiday destination.But their are so many other places i want to visit more when the kids are grown up.I'll give it 2-3 goes in a couple of years,i can tell you now ,it does not appeal one bit to the wife,her idea of an holiday is total chill out.I'll talk her round for maybe two years time though.The kids deserve it.
