Views were the best I've seen for the beaches on the gulf. Shallow, bathwater warm water, numerous sand bars and tide pools..

The park was the kids' favorite and most anticipated. We flew to Orlando specifically for it and, like special forces, walked at least 20,000 steps a day. They were very happy and got to experience all the attractions they wanted to do, some even twice. It's quite different from the North Loop in many ways.

We definitely wish we had better weather but because we got our tickets for a specific date with express passes none of the scare actors came out for the haunt which was the main reason we were there. There were more jump scares in Hellraiser than you didn’t even time to look at them or the scenario because they jumped at your face every 5 seconds. The park itself is its own little village for sure and I love all the themes everywhere you go. I’d love to find out how this becomes a career because I would absolutely LOVE to do the designs for some of the stores and restaurants and inside the riding wait zones!! I was really intrigued!
