    How bad is Planet Hollywood?

    We ate there in August - two meat lovers and two vegetarians. We really enjoyed the food but the service wasn't amazing, we would eat there again though.

    Adults wearing swim shirts?

    Both my husband and two sons wear rash vests/swim shirts at water parks. They're all fair skinned and wouldn't risk going without, can't say I've noticed what other people wear.

    Share your budget tips?

    We used Travelup several years ago and personally would never use them ever again. I'm sure other people may recommend them but our flights were changed multiple times. They changed not just times but the airports we were travelling through. After many changes I phoned to explain that we were...

    Booking Flights Through a Flight Search Website

    I personally would never use Travel Up ever again after the bad experience we had with them a couple of years ago. We booked and within 12 hours our flights had changed to another airport and different times, we accepted the changes reluctantly. Our flights were changed a further five times over...

    Wheelchairs at Water Parks

    Our son is a wheelchair user and although he uses his wheelchair at the water parks now I seem to remember that when he was a little more mobile it was only a short walk from the drop off point to the entrance. They also have wheelchairs that you can wheel into the water if your grandmother...

    Visiting California...Disneyland and universal Hollywood help please

    We've been a couple of times and stayed at Embassy Suites, free breakfast and shuttle bus to the parks. Also stayed at the Portifino which was a short walk to the parks. We bought tickets from ATD and also at the gate. I agree that you probably don't need to make dinner reservations before you...

    Wdw V Disneyland California

    I'm sure you won't be disappointed, we have visited WDW 11 times and DL 3 times and love them both for different reasons. I think you've allowed enough time for the two parks, as previously said the queues are never to long. The only long queue we found was in Cars Land so maybe worth fast...

    Keys to the Kingdom tour

    I think there were 19 or 20 of us on the tour. We booked one of the earlier tours and had lunch at 12, it was pre-ordered when we checked in and was served immediately we sat down.

    Wdw V Disneyland California

    We've been to Caifornia a couple of times and the main difference I wold say is size. There are only two parks and the layout is similar to DLP - parks next to each other. There are no water parks to my knowledge. Some of the attractions are the same/similar to Florida but there are also many...

    Crowds & Weather at Easter?

    We have been going in August since 2008 and it's definitely quieter than Easter. I believe a lot of the American schools start back from mid August so that would affect crowds. The humidity can be high and the downpours are dramatic but never stops us enjoying our time there

    Crowds & Weather at Easter?

    We've been lots of times at Easter and the weather is lovely, hot but not humid. The crowds are always very heavy compared to when we visit in August.

    Keys to the Kingdom tour

    We dd the Tour in 2015 and loved it. Our guide was really informative, our group was a good mix of ages and nationalities but he made sure everyone was included at all times. The time flew by and it definitely didn't feel like 5 hours, I would definitely recommend it. If you have any specific...

    Indirect flights

    We've travelled indirect lots of times and have only encountered a problem once. I would recommend a minimum of 2 hours connection to be safe. We have saved lots of money doing this as we a restricted to school holidays. When we had a connection problem in Canada the airline provided us with a...

    Blue Badge parking permit - Osceola County no longer doing this in advance

    We've always used our blue badge at Disney parks and Universal without any problems. On one of the first trips we made we were advised to hang it from the mirror so we just attach some string. We've also used it at Walmart and never had a problem.

    anyone done the hop on hop off bus tours in San Francisco

    We have used City Sightseeing tours twice in San Francisco once in 2014 and more recently in August this year. We highly recommend them, all of the tour guides we had were extremely friendly and very knowledgable. Recommend sitting upstairs for the full experience but take a warm...
