yes larry, you have to go on Tower of Terror in MGM...it was my favorite ride second to Aerosmiths Rockin' roller coaster...I went on the Tower of Terror 4 times!!...and the computer programming is all random so its different everytime...you dont just go up and drop once its multiples times and different levels...Im pretty sure its 13 stories and at the very top window things open and you can see the whole park for a split second just before dropping..


..i hate talking about it or thinking about it because it makes me want to go on it :P

Arrived back from Florida last Wednesday... Tropical Storm Alberto was just hitting the resort (Disney's All Star Music Resort). Still suffering from after effects of Space Mountain, Stitch's Great Escape, Splash Mountain, Mission Space, Test Track, Soarin', The Rapids (wife got totally drenched, very funny indeed), Dinosaur, Tough to be a bug, Expedition Everest, Aerosmith Rockin' Rollercoaster (twice), Hollywood Tower, etc etc etc and of course the curse that is Jet Lag!!

Great fun though

If anyone else is going to this magical place, be sure to go down to Downtown Disney and see The Cirque Du Soleil show called La Nouba. Probably the most magical experience you will ever encounter. Tickets were pricey at $100 plus tax each but well worth saving up for and worth every cent in my honest opinion.

Now feeling totally hacked off at being back in the UK.

oh yes, I'm ranting about it to the others to make sure we go.

Americans don't know how to make maps properly!!!

still in need of some magic pictures, i've got one of me playing with a contact ball outside the bigass epcot ball thing.

Hehe take a picture of you standing by the Epcot ball thing and do some sort of photoshop thing to make it look like you've disappeared it!

well, this has been an interesting trip. had it's high points, it's low points.
on a high today since i just got my Uni results for my second year, got a 2:1, woooooooooooooo. (it was more than i expected).
found a glow in the dark shop at universal studios, very big excitement there, i love to glow (thats the juggler in me i guess) and it turned out to be closed, big downer!
didn't get to go on the Hulk coaster due to time constraints and RAIN but i'll live, done it befor.

everything at disney is about half the size i remember it being, and somewhat less exciting, but still... good holiday!
animal kingdom went above expectations though, so that was all good, and the last park we did so it all ended on a high note. everyone's a winner!
