We got back from Florida just before Christmas. A couple of things I did notice. The number of people playing with their I phones or mobiles whilst walking. They seem to expect you to watch where you were going in addition to where THEY were going!! I don't know about you but when in the parks playing with electronic games is not what I want to do. When you bump into them its obviously your fault!
We were also lucky enough to get into Islands of Adventure 2 hours ahead of the crowds thanks to Virgin. We had breakfast in HP land and then waited for the ride to open. All of a sudden hundreds of people descended upon us clamouring to get into the ride. The staff had no idea how to control this horde and there was much shoving and to hell with kids. I felt like shouting that its "only a ride" and "its not real". A little bit annoying as we were told we would get on the ride earlier due to our tickets. I can't blame Virgin but do blame Universal for not being more organised. Why do people have to push and shove when by using some sense we all know we will get on the ride? The ride itself is good but the queue system needs work. Can't help but think Disney would have done it better.
