Norhels trip to Disney World 20 sep to 7 okt 2010

thanks for your updates, I do not know how I missed this thread (I am sorry to hear about your mom).

I too love Sea World and Epcot (as well as DAK). Hate the MK though, it is so poor compared to DLP and DL. But I agree, the Port Orleans resorts are great value, and we were quite disappointed when we stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge.

I am sorry to hear you did not like Universal Studios - did you do Men In Black? The Simpsons? Jaws? Twister? The Mummy? They are great IMHO. And at IOA, what did you think of Spiderman? I think that is one of the best attractions in all of Florida.

Port Orleans is probably one of the hotels I'm going to consider next time I'm going to WDW.

To be honest, since not very much of the attractions at Universal didn't appeal to me, I didn't go on any rides there.
At IOA the best part was the Harry Potter part and Jurassic Park. Don't get me wrong - it's great parks and it seems that it's well done, but it just didn't interest me. I know I'm weird some times regarding some things.

I really do not understand what you mean by they do not appeal to you, so you did not ride? There are some amazing attractions at Universal that rival Disney that you missed out on. I am curious? What did not appeal? And what is it that you like at DLP?

At the first day at Universal my mum wanted to go back to our hotel due to that the weather was to hot for her, and since I had to drive her to the hotel I didn't bother go back to Universal that day. I didn't do much attractions at Universal, and maybe I do next time I'm there. Time will show. There and then I follow my gut feeling saying that I didn't want to spent much time there. At the second day I also followed my gut feeling saying that I didn't feel to do anything so I didn't. That's it. Maybe I do something different next time, but time will show. Been there. Done that, and that's it.

I just find it a little odd. Different strokes for different folks. It is just that Terminator is one of the very best 4D shows on the planet, Men in Black is the very best lazer blasting ride (Buzz is a joke in comparison), Jaws is increadibly well done, Twister has a real toronado, The Mummy is a really fun special effects laden coaster, Disaster is much more impressive than Catastrophy Canyon IMHO.

And at IOA, Cat in the Hat is a fine dark ride, Spiderman is one of the finest attractions created anywhere.

I just hope you do try them some time. But of course I appreciate with you mom's condition, things would be a little different.

Next time would probably be different yes. I will probably try some of the attractions when next time comes. But there and then I didn't feel for doing it, and since my parents was much at the hotel those two days, I didn't feel for doing the attractions alone. Next time would might be different, but time will tell. What has happened has happened. And as I said, I did what I felt for then and there.
