Just a short review of trip

Disneyland,when you first go in compared to WDW its smaller in size but still as magical,its a shock when you see the size of the castle lol.Loved space mountain.Whishes fireworks were great and tinkerbell makes more apperances.Tip the more you see of castle and the matorhorn the better view you will get of fireworks.We made full use of erly entry first day so made it easer to stoall round park later

California Adventure loved the california screaming ride and soarin (what made this better was by the time we went on it we had visited a lot of the things in the film).ToT ok not as good as wdw.found you could do this park in half a day easy disney nead to improve it

Knotts Berry loverly rides bit more like alton towers but more compact and liked there waterpark

Hotels Paradice peir and Disneyland hotel would compare them to a moderate at wdw had a nice surprise that we could see fireworks with a good view from room on 2nd floor at disneyland hotel.Pitiy about the poor house keeping ie no coffe mache had to call for it and ha to call everyday for coffe

Universal great park more compact that florida version the tour best part and loved the mummy (differant than florida)

San deago zoo was a surprise it was loverly and seeing the pandas made the kids day

Las Vegas

The Hotal at Mandalay bay was pure quality massive room with tvs every where even in bathroom.Pool with wave pool great

Trip up stratospeare great and did Big shot on top with my 10 year old (he wanted to do it so i had to take him on)takes your breath away

Grand Canyonwas a great trip Did the flight,helicopter and boat tour

There is so much to do in Las veagas that the 4 nights were not long enougth

Weather we got a shock after Florida we expeted the same weather Dont California cool in the evening (DW had to buy a cardi to keep warm) but had sun most days except the last 2 days.Vegas HOT 100 when we were there

Loved going

Hi Paul, thanks so much for posting as i'm off very soon.I'm doing vegas too, staying in the luxor.Did you find it a lot more expensive than Orlando in general?
 
Paul it sounds like you had a wonderful time.

We are off next Friday who did you do the Grand Canyon tour with and was it worth the money?? Still need to book our tour!

Claire ;)
 
Welcome home Paul, sounds like you had a great time. Did you have the opportunity to go to Yosemite?
 
Sounds fantastic ~ Really looking forward to our upcoming trip.
 
Sounds like you had a great time Paul.

What was different about The Mummy? I've only ridden it in Universal California.
I know what you mean about the weather. It can get quite cold in the evenings in LA.

Welcome Home Paul

Sounds like a amazing holiday.
 
Glad you enjoyed the trip Paul. We enjoyed San Diego zoo too. Sounds like you'll be planning another Las Vegas trip before too long :thumbsup2
 
Welcome home

sounds like you all had a great trip
 
claire l we booked our Grand canyon with www.looktours.com they use king airlines so if you dont do it online they have a shop on the strip near the M+M shop as you will have to give it a couple of days online for transaction to go througth.You get a conformation then a voucher make dure you take the voucher
Kev the mummy in orlando has fire above your head and i dont think it gos backwards and the end is differant.ToT is also differant
Food,beers and shoping the same price as florida
