Disney Whirled

I kinda like that title! Very clever! :)

This is a trip report (and other useful information) from one of our UK Disney fans who visited WDW. It gives the rest of us some perspective from a UK resident point of view, especially on the costs with the US dollar at its historic low.

With the pound being so strong against the dollar, the food and drink – normally a bit of a rip-off at theme parks – can work out good value. A hot dog is about £1.50, a bottle of water just over £1, an apple juice less. An ice-cold beer on average is about £3.


I'm guessing that many international visitors are more inclined to visit the US, and especially WDW, under such circumstances with the exchange rate.

Still, this author did make a small, amusing error:


Disney has four main parks – the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, MGM Studios and Epcot – while other parks such as the Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach and All-Star Movies Resort – are also worth a visit.


I don't think All-Star Movies Resort would qualify as a "park" that one wants to make a visit to, unless of course, one is actually staying there or have to go there to get a pin. :)

Zz.
