Sorrento is wonderful but so expensive to stay, food is to notch, ice cream from Bougainville or Davide's is lush

Wet n Wild was great when I was there. But that was in 1989, and I was a kid.

Went there last summer - stayed on International Drive too.

Tips - Pack a packed lunch. The food at the parks is overpriced, and quality is poor, unless you go to the premium restaurants.

There is an app you can download which shows waiting times for rides, down load it.

For the big rides, wait till around 5pm, they are alot quieter.

I forgot the name of the park, but heres one that has a huge pool, and 6 foot waves..its awesome, defo worth a go.

Disney World fireworks are awesome, BUT, getting out after is a nightmare. Avoid the train, head straight for the boat, its alot quicker.

Follow the rules, they are very strict

Thanks for all the comments everyone.
Had a massive thunderstorm last night here. The hotel two down got struck by lightning and one block got totally burned down!
Been to both universal parks and Magic kingdom at Disney so far.
Stayed for the 4th July fireworks in front of Disney castle the other night. Amazing! But as one poster has commented crazy getting out. Lynk 50 bus then picks you up from bus terminal. Only problem is then getting back to I-drive as the I-drive trolleys stop at 10.30!!!!!

Have tickets to all parks including sea world so we will do that Wednesday. Deffo need to plan what to do and when. Will need a holiday when I get back!!!

Missus and kids want to go shopping today, so a bit of relax for my poor feet, but a hammering on my wallet expected!!

When we went as kids we found the best times to gte on the rides were during the Magic light parade, or a fireworks show. Everyone would go watch those and the rides would be virtually empty.
