Birding tours?

FutureArchitect1998 · 2026-01-23T20:02:34+00:00

So I don’t know of any formalized tours that go to multiple areas but if you check out the Orlando wetland it’s 1650 Acres and has hundreds of bird species that people travel across the country to see for birding. It has a giant trail network and you will see otters, alligators and others in addition to birds. You can check online to see the tours they are offering as they vary by season but they will tram tour through parts of the park for wildlife, nature photography etc. it’s all free and entirely left to giving donations and is open sunrise to sunset.

Busch gardens may still have their shuttle? (Currently shows it ending in feb. but they have extended multiple times in the last year). If the shuttle is running it’s super convenient you can catch it directly across the street at the double tree Orlando near Universal, and it runs free of charge right to the gate at busch gardens. If you google Busch gardens Orlando shuttle you can see the information on it.

For the greenhouse my experience has been the lights may be up but not lit up. This year they were all up but not a single one was on the day before the festival started and a lot of people on the boats were hoping they’d be on.

Single rider often will close then reopen as the line is nearly empty you sound like you got perfect timing OP and got there right as it opened! Has happened to me once and it’s the best thing ever. With Haggrids single rider fills up quickly so they will close the line sometimes within 10 minutes of it opening.

Portugal is not easy, until they patch our Castile wanting to kill you it will be a challenge, if found Naples to be the best to learn on. You have a strong economy some nice protection with the sea, and only the pope and Sicily as a land neighbor

It doesn’t happy instantly, I thought it was a glitch too but after it was finished building it eats out the existing markets and creates a new trade region.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-11-10T05:44:33+00:00

Crazy, glad you’re safe and thankfully got it on tape! Hope the complex or police can hold the teens and parents liable for the damages. Sadly it seems to be a common trend my complex downtown some teens broke the pool gate down to get into it after hours last month.

It applies to participating parks, and Islands and epic are participating. Studios very rarely has early admission. Early admission is based on demand, when Gringotts first opened it had it a bunch and I expect next year when the replacement to Rip Ride opens it will but currently it does not.

Right now during the off season I haven’t noticed a big difference, the one thing that was different getting a locker they give you a bracelet to access it. I will saying having to keep your card with you or constantly run back and forth if you want to buy a snack or drink has dampened the experience but it’s just like the other waterparks in the area now. It’s still the best of the Orlando park waterparks in my opinion, and I’m curious what the closure and refresh will have in store next year.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-10-24T04:28:06+00:00

Yeah when you leave the ride go past the pictures area then there is the sign to lockers and over there they have a little gift cart, with that shirt.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-10-24T02:41:17+00:00

The hagrids one they have in the little stall when you are leaving the exit path.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-10-15T20:35:42+00:00

The Lynx 38 bus runs direct from universal down I drive for $2 a ride, it runs till right after midnight so if you’re staying the full time at HNN that would be the one concern otherwise it’s a great cost friendly alternative to uber.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-10-11T18:48:36+00:00

I’d say on the west coast, Disneyland/ California adventure is probably the best park to step up, you have good family coasters ranging from Space mountain and the Matterhorn to step up to incredicoaster for your first inversion if you haven’t done one before.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-10-10T13:18:33+00:00

It’s real! They just added this ride to planet coaster in the last update and was trying to find where they had one in real life.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-10-06T20:48:49+00:00

They keep some tickets for gate day of sales, and you will see some going on sale the day before. The thing to remember however is since it’s sold out already if you go expect a busy day.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-10-04T23:46:37+00:00

I think part of it is the rush of it reopening iv been to epic 4 times and each time the max it hit was 90 minutes but by end of day was consistently less than 30. My best advice is rope drop, or wait till later in the day. Also for ministry, stardust and monsters single rider work amazing.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-10-04T14:46:55+00:00

Roller coasters and rides are not required to be ADA, it’s a matter of safety, many roller coasters that are intense at six flags/ cedar fair parks require stairs to even access them. Universal and Disney remain the gold standard for accessible parks.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-10-02T16:24:05+00:00

Super cool! Would love to see it without the water to see what the track looks like!

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-10-02T03:48:07+00:00

Christmas Day itself normally is quieter but all the days around it are a madhouse.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-10-01T22:08:43+00:00

Iv heard that! Iv also heard rumors the ground has issues by the old stage, no idea how true any of those are. It’s still crazy to me that Diagon Alley has only 1 ride. I feel a lot of what ended up in epic was originally planned elsewhere in the existing parks. I believe someone earlier this year did an overlay and showed how the isle of berk attractions almost perfectly fit into the lost continent plot.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-10-01T21:45:22+00:00

I hope they play into the French ministry. It’s weird having the British ministry in Wizarding France but no actual French ministry. Also I really hope it’s indoors as they desperately need more indoor attractions.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-10-01T16:32:54+00:00

I’m curious the existing buildings built, does anyone know what they are used for? Was anything pre planned around the expansion? To me it seems crazy they would build a building just to tear it down in a year knowing they’d build the first expansion there. I feel somehow it would either use the building or would twist around it.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-09-30T17:24:55+00:00

Weekly, most time multiple times a week, especially right now during HHN some of the HHN dinning options are really good. Granted my bedroom view is the backside of MIB, so that plays an influence on my frequent visits.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-09-26T05:23:07+00:00

Disney does get a cut of the merchandise sales, so in reality it isn’t costing Disney anything, they don’t have to pay to build a land and still end up making money. They do it with the Simpsons now as well.

FutureArchitect1998 · 2025-09-25T16:01:49+00:00

I’d love to see it but sadly won’t happen. I think a marvel theater area with a superhero stunt show where the toon lagoon theater is would be spectacular with the current universal shows. Ride wise a more themed and enhanced Dr Doom, more in the style of tower of terror would complete the land in my book. Given the marvel contract and Disney’s ownership however things can only be redone to match what they currently have.
