Trip Report week 2

We arrived back on Sunday morning into Shannon, still suffering the effects of jet lag and wishing we were back in Orlando.

Week 2 was great, Monday was Aquatica, We would agree it was hyped up but we still enjoyed it. Tuesday was Animal Kingdom, this was the kids favourite park, they enjoyed all of it especially the safari ride which we did twice, we had lunch in the Rainforest Cafe and we thought it was great value.

Wednesday was a shopping and rest day, would recomment the Premium Outlet, join the VIP club on their website before you go and you extra discount vouchers, I got 25% off in the Guess outlet.

Thusday was Disney Studios, Tower of Terror was great and the Rock and Roll Rollercoaster, watched the Indiana Jones show, myself and hubby were a bit disappointed, as the show was the same as when we last saw it 16 years ago.

Friday was Epcot, we enjoyed Soarin, Test Track and Space Mission, we found this park to be the busiest of all we had visited and it was also the hottest day of our holiday. We left the park around 6pm and went out for a drink and chinese on our last night. Everyone says the World is a small place, how true, in the first week of our holiday we went shopping to the Florida Mall and bumped into friends of ours from England who we had,nt seen for six years, neither of us knew the other was in Orlando!

Have to say it was a fantastic holiday and we will return the question is just when. We found the American people to be lovely and the service in shops and restaurants was fantastic. Food was very cheap and we found Sizzler on International Drive to be excellent.

Heres to all you lucky people who are planning their next trip in the near future, we know you will have a good time. Do your research on this Forum before you go as we found the information and help we received from this Forum invaluable.

Hi Mayolady,

Glad to hear that ye had such a great Hol.

Just a few quick questions.

Did you fly Aer Lingus to Orlando

How did you find the flight

Did you have to run off the plane for Immigration

on the other side?

We are staying next door to the Premium Outlet Centre

so am glad to hear you would recommend it.

We are going in July for Our Honeymoon. Looking forward to it now after reading your report

Thanks

Yes we flew Aer Lingus Dublin to Orlando, we found the flight to be ok, we were delayed for two hours on the way out but it was,nt too bad, found the cabin crew lovely, I had two children who were unwell during the flight and they were very good to them.

Immigration was not too bad, about 45 minutes to get through but we made sure we got off the plane fairly quick, if you were last off I would say the wait could be well over an hour, possibly more if there are other international flights landing in or around the same time. Prepare to be questioned, fingerprinted and have your eye scanned, I kid you not!

Have a lovely honeymoon I am certain you will enjoy it. Premium Outlets is fantastic, make sure you join on their website as a VIP customer for even more discount vouchers. We loaded up with jeans, trainers, clothes bags etc and were grateful there was no Customs Officer in Shannon when we arrived. Any other questions feel free to ask.

From another Irish family flying out in July....you posts are great loads of information...where did you stay? I may have missed that one have booked flights but need to book hotel to-day, thinking of World Quest have you heard? Also not sure what age your children are mine are teenagers 19 %26amp; 16 would be great to hear their favourite parks and restaurants? Really appreciate your feedback

I know what you mean about it being a small world. I bumped into a friends uncle in India once.
