I had honestly thought it would be mostly about entertaining young children & was not expecting to enjoy it anywhere near as much as I did.

Disney certainly know how to do theme parks, I don't think anywhere else comes close. The second time we went, there were three generations of us, my mum and dad, myself, Mick, Daniel and Eleanor and my brother and his daughter and there really is something for everyone, we all had a great time.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-23173645196332974832015-09-26T18:50:25.985-04:002015-09-26T18:50:25.985-04:00I've never been out west, but Disneyland and U...I've never been out west, but Disneyland and Universal Studios would definitely be on the short list of attractions we would take in if we ever do make it out there.<br /><br />Apparently early September is one of the best times to go to theme parks when it comes to crowds, probably because so many kids go back to school at that time. They were definitely not a big issue for us; most rides had a 10 minute wait. There were still a ton of people, however, and wait times for the most popular rides could get up to 90 minutes. Thank goodness for the Fast Passes!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-88346240549427848632015-09-26T15:41:30.853-04:002015-09-26T15:41:30.853-04:00That sounds like such a fun trip and since you wen...That sounds like such a fun trip and since you went in the fall you probably missed a lot of the crowds. <br /><br />I went on a trip that included Disneyland, Knots Berry Farm, and Universal Studios in highschool during the winter. It was so fun with no crowds and no lines whatsoever. Disney World is supposed to be a lot bigger so there's probably a ton more to do and those green houses look amazing. Six Flags Magic Mountain is probably my favorite but there's always lines there no matter the season.<br /><br />Oh the Food and Wine festival sounds wonderful!Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-43544658828365334982015-09-26T10:09:16.623-04:002015-09-26T10:09:16.623-04:00Oh, that food festival sounds amazing!

When we go back, I'll be doing the greenhouse walking tour on my own as well - like you said, I'm sure it will be more enjoyable that way.<br /><br />They have a Flower & Garden festival from March to May & I'm hoping that we eventually make it to either that one or the Food and Wine festival, which just started yesterday. I actually think it will be hard to choose between them!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-25211622736259881382015-09-26T07:53:51.366-04:002015-09-26T07:53:51.366-04:00I always loved Epcot Center.

I did Living With The Land without anyone which was really nice. My family thought it was kind of boring but I loved it. I also loved the festival they had going that week, which was foods and drinks around the world. They had small booths set up in each of the countries (and some not normally represented there) and little nibbles and small drinks all the way around. It was a heck of a lot more fun than sitting in a restaurant.
