Animal Kingdom: Banshees, Everest and 210 minute queue times

I can't really believe this is my final instalment of my blogs about my Florida trip. It seems to have taken me a long time to get my thoughts down on paper, but honestly, it has been so much fun relaying my memories on paper. I feel like even though I've not covered everything in… Continue reading Animal Kingdom: Banshees, Everest and 210 minute queue times

Hollywood Studios: To A Galaxy Far, Far Away

As I've said in my post about Universal Studios, I'm a massive film nerd. I love anything that's even remotely close to a 'behind the scenes' look at how a film is made or anything that makes me feel like I've taken the role of director or producer.

Epcot: Around the World in a Single Park

From all my memories of Epcot as a child, I had somehow developed this idea that this particular Disney park was a bit on the dull side. I couldn't remember much from my first trip, and somehow that had put this tainted vision of the park into my head which in hindsight was completely untrue.… Continue reading Epcot: Around the World in a Single Park

In the process of writing my last post, I realised I had a lot of information and advice for people who want to visit Stockholm stored in my head.

Can you visit Stockholm on a Budget? Part One – Travel and Accomodation

Scandinavian countries are known for their natural beauty, their unique history, and also for how damn expensive they are to visit. Every person I know who has had the opportunity to visit Sweden, Finland or Norway has said the same thing - how much it cost while they were over there. That's why I was… Continue reading Can you visit Stockholm on a Budget? Part One – Travel and Accomodation
