It was the easiest purchase we had in Orlando trip. We loved the experience we spent the whole day even though it was raining but we wanted to enjoy everything no matter what. We had a lot of fun and we will definitely be visiting the other two parks next year. The place was well organized and I was a bit worried about the weather but everything was accommodated perfectly and really everyone working there was super helpful.
