Here are some photos of Disney World, Florida which were submitted by Jo. A big thanks to Jo for submitting her Disney World photos! - here is Jo's Disney World, Florida review:

 

I have been to Disney World 4 times from the ages of 8 to 25 and it's different every time I have been - through new rides or different parks opening such as Animal Kingdom.

 

Disney is every kids dream and every big kids too!!! - Disney World itself is massive and takes at least a few days to walk round as there is so much to see and do with rides, shops and parades. You have various lands with different rides and different characters are walking around all the time for you to have your picture taken with. A lot of the rides children can go on, but there are some more extreme rides for the big kids.

 

Epcot centre is also part of the Disney as well, which is a selection of different countries and every evening there is a spectacular firework show (get there early to get a decent place to see). There is so much to see in Disney that you need to (on your 1^st day) work out a rough itinerary of where you want to go - as there is so much to cram in to two weeks. You have Universal Studios, Island of Adventures, MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom and about 4 different water parks too!!!

As I got older, as much as I still love Disney, I enjoyed Island of Adventures, Universal Studios and MGM Studios - as the rides are a bit more dramatic as they are made by the studios. They include plenty of fire, water and wind machines. There are also rides showing how they do all the special effects in the movies which I found really interesting.

 

I have been 3 times - twice in October and once in July; and I would NEVER go again in July - as it is rainy season, and the queues in the park are massive. When we were at school we used to go for the week of October half term and then have a week off school, the queues were a lot smaller and the weather was not as hot - but still very hot for us brits to enjoy a holiday and get a good tan!

 

 Last time we went it was Halloween and the Island of Adventures in the evening turns into a horror theme evening which was brilliant - the studios were massive haunted houses and you walk through as real actors jumped out on everyone. Even around the park, people are in camouflage and jump out of the bushes - its not for the faint hearted but very funny!

 

 I have stayed in various private owned villas and motels around Kissimmee as they are very close to all of the parks. There is also a place called 'Old Town' - just down the road - and that is like stepping into a cowboy film! - and has some of the old fashioned shops.
