G'day all, glad to see the blog is being read. I'll be putting some WDW photos up soon. 3rd day here so far we've been to Hollywood studios, Epcot and today was at Typhhon Lagoon, this is a cool place. Crowds are heavy and the weather is very warm, 30s each day, but it's all good. Will be at animal kingdom tomorrow.

Harry Potter was extraordinary and I'm sure for the potter fans will become somewhat of a holy city. The forbidden journey ride is the best I've done, the technology is state of the art and effects life like. Universal certainly have an offering that they deserve to be a destination of choice now. Worth seeing.

Your cruise is getting closer and closer Anthony.

Which reminds me - Barry and Narelle should be back on dry land by now!

Hmm, sounds like you were at AK the same day as my cousin! You didn't happen to notice an Aussie marching band, or a group of teens/young kids in black and orange shirts did you?

I'm off to catch up on your blog, I'm a bit behind...

Mel if your cousin is a marching koala, yes we saw some of them lining up for lunch in the eatery on the other side of tuska house, on the corner. They stood out like, well they stood out. Australians are a rarity on this side and it is good to see or hear them on the odd occasion. Just made another update. We have only 3 days till we cruise, can't wait for the change of pace! Wonder how Barry and Narelle enjoyed it?

My cousin is indeed a Marching Koala :) She's been to SO many wonderful places in the world with them and this is her last tour. She's marched at Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland in Anaheim and now the Magic Kingdom.

How cool! It is a small world after all :)

Of course, it irks me that at this very moment, I'm sitting in my office in Sydney, Anthony and his family are walking around Disney-Hollywood Studios, Barry and Narelle are somewhere around there too, and Wayne and Jennifer are in Paris! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Exactly what I was thinking Keith... although I'm at home but it still irks me :wink:

And ajp, my friend that is a lifeguard at Blizzard would most likely have been there when you were too... really is a small world...

really enjoying the updates... HP Wizarding World is a MUST see after those photos.

Have you seen the The Magic, The Memories and You show on the castle, well worth it if you can see it.

We did see it, lbeit from a distance. But yes I agree what they do on the castle is spectacular.

They have eight data projectors shining onto the castle, there are 4 on either side of the end of main street buildings, over Casey's Corner and the ice cream shop. Amazing the light they put out from that distance.

Anthony has updated his blog again with what will effectively be his last post. He'll be heading home very soon.

Sounds like he really loved the Fantasy! Can't wait to go on one of these cruises some day :)

Yes we're home, got home yesterday morning. Just starting to feel ok now after the flight. This trip was absolutely awesome. We loved the world of Colour, WDW in Spring is stunning with the gardens in full bloom and the skies clear, and the Disney Fantasy is a sensationally beautiful ship. Glad you enjoyed the blogging, but I will be using a different application next time I think.
