USA Holiday - Legoland

This was the park Jack was most excited about. It was also the reason for the whole trip in the first place. There was so much Lego here and fortunately not many people - we hardly had to queue for any rides! We had a packed day, visiting nearly every ride in the park. At the end of the day we could not escape from buying some Lego in the gift shop.

USA Holiday - The Disney Water Parks

During our time in Florida it got pretty hot so it was lucky that Disney has two water parks! The first park was visited was called Typhoon Lagoon. It had a big wave pool that made the biggest and fastest waves we had ever seen in a pool.
The second park was Blizzard Beach. This whole park was theme like a ski resort, with snowy peaks and icicles everywhere. There were even some parts of the lazy river where the waterfalls actually had icy cold water!
As you can see in the video, we got to go on lots of slides at both parks, including several family raft rides. It was definitely a great way to cool off in the Florida heat.

USA Holiday - Hollywood Studios - Part 2

We're back! More very hot days were spent at Hollywood Studios. In this video we got to meet BB-8, see the First Order perform their march, see Dad have a very close encounter with some patrolling stormtroopers and also see the night time shows Disney Movie Magic and Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Fireworks!

USA Holiday - Hollywood Studios - Part 1

We were excited about coming to this park because this is where all of the Star Wars rides and characters are. Jack was lucky enough to get into the Jedi training program where he got to fight onstage against Darth Vader! We also got to meet Star Lord and Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy and also watch a cool Indiana Jones stunt show.

USA Holiday - Animal Kingdom - Part 2

We continue the adventure at Animal Kingdom, this time starting off with a ride on the Kali River Rapids. We got a little wet on that one. Then we went on the Kilimanjaro Safari where we got to see lots of different animals as we drove through the plains in a truck. Of course we had to go back to Pandora where Jack got to adopt his very own Banshee. We finished off the evening with the Rivers of Light night time show. This show is very focused on nature and uses lights and water displays on the lake in the middle of the park.

Here's a video of what we got up to for part 2 (click here if you can't see the video)

USA Holiday - Animal Kingdom - Part 1

It was a very hot Florida day when we visited Animal Kingdom. We weren't quite sure what to expect from this park but it was very big and we had to come back several times to be able to see everything. The big tree in the centre of the park is called the "Tree of Life" and has dozens of animals carved into it. This park also had an area called "Pandora" which is the planet from the movie Avatar.

Check out the video below for some of the sights we saw. Stay tuned till the end where there is footage of Mum and Emma going on the 'Expedition Everest' rollercoaster! (Click here if you can't see the video)

 













Below are some of the photos from Pandora. If you haven't seen Avatar, Pandora is an alien planet with lots of weird plants, animals and floating islands.
