I was speaking to some people we know out in florida and they reckoned that because there was a lot of bad weather in the north of the country a lot of americans were going to florida for spring break. we have probably been at easter for the last 6 years and as a mother of 4 girls under 8, I have never seen it so busy. We try and get there for the start at 9 and leave not long after 2 at this time of year. Hope you grandkids enjoyed it. Liz

thanks for your welcome. Liz, we arrived on 4th at the end of the heatwave. we would not go anywhere in the easter holidays by choice but having the 2 grandchildren we had to. It was the most crowded we have seen it with the fast passes on the rides being used up very early in the day and horrendous queues for most rides. some good new ones since we were last there 4 years ago. ann Glos

Yes, two weeks near Davenport Orlando in a villa with son and family (2 Grandchildren 4 and 10). magic Kingdom twice, Epcot twice, MGM and Typhoon Lagoon. With retail therapy inbetween. The good bit was the strong pound agains the dollar, got some good bargains. Ann Glos

got home lunch time. Now feeling a bit spaced out of course.......................Kids had a wonderful time and we loved seeing them enjoy themselves...................... weather was mixed, one day 90 degrees, the following day 70 degrees with a cool wind, mostly sunny, one afternoon of heavy rain........................................ But sooo crowded, too many people really............. And this time not impressed with the standard of American driving, so undisciplined and agressive................ and Virgin Atlantic were not the best airline we have flown with........Anyway, good to be back.
