    We enjoy coming here. It is all-inclusive and is not crowded. Come early, even though there is a queue to get in but it is well staffed and we waited about 30 minutes in line. Once we were checked in, it was fun, fun and more fun. We started with breakfast but make sure you guard your food. It is outside dining and the birds will eat off any unguarded plate. The breakfast and lunch entrees were great. There are plenty of selections for everyone.
    Some of us signed up for the dolphin experience. The trainers were very nice and we had a great time with the dolphin. We did purchase their digital photos. The photos were excellent but I wish they would just tell us the correct amount - it was the posted amount plus a 5% surcharge. We are glad we have the photos, just tired with places not being upfront on their prices.
    Towels and swim gears are provided. There are lockers, restrooms, and shower buildings throughout. Plenty of lounge chairs and the park is clean and well maintained. There are snacks (chips and ice cream) and drinks (soft drinks, slurpee, beer and wine) stations around the park.
    There is an interactive pool to swim with fish and see sharks behind a glassed wall, a lazy river and an aviary. Our day was fun and very relaxing. Definitely worth a visit.

    This is the best park in Orlando! I’ve been to all the parks in Orlando many times before and yet, this one is the coolest one!
    The park was not full so we were able to do all the rides and not have to wait in line! Great memories for sure!

    Highly recommend. Only have good things to say about this. Other parks could learn a lot from here.
    Visited September 2024, family of 4 with 2 teenagers.
    Bought 14 day pass from attraction tickets, which was the cheapest option.
    Park is very quiet after summer holidays, so this is a great time to visit if you can.
    Queues no more than 15 minutes except for Simpsons & anything harry potter. They runs Simpsons empty or with only 8 people, so it takes ages. Harry potter is just always busy.
    Parks is clean, safe & all staff are extremely helpful.

    We bought a Coke freestyle cup & reactivated it every day. Then have unlimited drinks from loads of locations inside the park.

    When it's quiet or if you have an express pass you can easily get around the park in a day & do everything once.

    I can’t give this enough stars! Amazing! Magical! The best part of Orlando! It really feels like you are in a Harry Potter movie! The butter beer, the shops, everything blew us away. The rides were fantastic. Never been on rides like that before!

    We had a great time at the park. We followed people's advise - arrived early and headed straight to the Avatar Flight of Passage. The app said the wait was 60 minutes but it ended up to be 90 minutes. It was hot outside, some areas had shade but the majority was with the sun shining on us. Once inside it was air conditioned and further inside, they did design 2 bathrooms (finally some thought into their planning). The attraction was worth the wait. We liked it so much we came back right before closing and did it again, this time it was only 45 minutes (once you are in line you are good even if the park is closed).
    The safari ride was okay. We saw animals roaming around or eating. This attraction was also a 90 minute wait and mostly outside under the hot sun except one small part was in a building There were some shady areas and they did have fans blowing.
    The Navi ride was beautiful. It's a slow water ride, has beautiful lighting and animatronics. This park has the fewest rides and we were able to do all of them in one day.
    In summary, we did have a great time. You just have to know the weather and be prepared. We knew we had come on one of the hottest days so we knew we were going to be sweating. Of course, expect long lines and have fun. We are on vacation!

    When I visited Disney, everything was spectacular. The people, food, hospitality, etc. It was a lot of fun and I was able to see many people enjoy their time just like my family and I did. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

    Epcot had our favorite layout of the 4 Disney parks. The food festival from all the different countries around the world was very enjoyable. Epcot also had our favorite ride of all the parks. Guardians of the Galaxy was the most fun ride of all. Do not go to Disney without riding this one. Our niece was also happy to get to meet Mirabelle and saw the Encanto show.

    Lots of fun for an afternoon/evening! We opted to do the Sky Coaster for $10pp and loved it. Milo and the fun spot staff were amazing and helped make this day more fun. Lots of options for young kids and adults

    I like Blizzard beach. It isn't as popular as Volcano Bay but it being a little less busy is part of the attraction.
    Free parking.
    Excellent coffee.
    Some excellent food choices and ...
    Relatively cheap lockers !
    Ideal for all the family.

    Beautiful area by the water front with plenty of shops and entertainment. Accessible by water taxi and by bus. Close to EPCOT.

    Better than expected considering the reviews. Went Labour Day weekend so place got very busy but managed to quite a few rides first thing. All day dining was free for us but wouldn’t recommend as hard to get value, noting many places aren’t open until 11/midday. Yes, some of it is a bit run down but prefer it to volcano bay as at least you can queue for rides. One wave pool and lazy river closed which was poor.

    The view was amazing would have been better if the glass was not frosted. The glass pod was very spacious and the entire ride was 20mins. It's 400 ft high when you reach the top and views was breath taking. Had to stoop to the bottom of the glass to get better pics of the outside tho becuz the glass was frosted. However there are alot more things to do and see at the icon park. It's nice to spend an afternoon with friends and family.

    Having two daughters who are young and very into Princesses, this was something that was definitely worth the money. The girls got to pick out their hair style and get makeup put on, as well as nail polish. Afterward, we were able to cross the street to Sir Mickey's and do a photoshoot in their makeovers and got to keep all the photos with our Memory Maker Plan.

    My advise would be to skip buying the dresses there and just bring a princess dress with you to wear to the appointment. The dresses in the shop are very expensive and heavy, which can make the rest of your time at the park miserable when it is hot.
