Typhoon Lagoon - Surfs Up!!!

Advantages: Loads to do in a day
Disadvantages: Wow thats alot of sun

...Introduction ************ Disney?s Typhoon Lagoon has been open since 1988. It has been regarded as the number 1 theme parks for the last few years running and has continued to do so. Playing the Part ****************** All of Disney?s theme parks always have a theme which is a story to how the park came to be or something to bring children?s imaginations to life. Typhoon Lagoon follows the story that there is a massive storm that takes place and various objects, buildings and boats such as Miss Tilly get blown to a new location where it creates Typhoon Lagoon. Attractions ************* Castaway Creek ? The Castaway Creek covers the entire park making a very large circle that takes 20 minutes for a person to get around under the speed of the current. The circuit consists of five different landing that people can get...

Review of Typhoon Lagoon

Marooned in Typhoon Lagoon

Advantages: Fun, lots to do
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...The first theme park on my trip to Orlando was Typhoon Lagoon. I had last been there in about 1992 so was interested to see it again. Typhoon Lagoon is part of the Disney family and was opened in 1989. The idea behind the park is that it was created as the result of a huge storm which caused the rapids to form and the boats to be blown there from a nearby fishing village. As with everything Disney, this is another land of make believe! LOCATION: Typhoon Lagoon is part of the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. You can reach Disney World many ways, although we used hire car. Driving there is very simple and Walt Disney World is signposted straight off the I4 (the main road passing through Orlando). The nearest airport is Orlando International, to which many airlines fly direct from the UK. You can get shuttles from...

Typhoon Splashtastic

Advantages: great fun, lots of things to do
Disadvantages: none

...Typhoon Lagoon is one of the three water parks held in the Disney Park area. The others ones are Blizzard Beach and River Country. I have to say though this was my favourite of the two. FOOD Around the different areas there will be somewhere for cocktails, pastries or even hot food. When I was there I went to a food stall beside the main pool which sold hotdogs, turkey legs and drinks. It wasn't very expensive and it was nice. There was nowhere to sit though, you sat on a sunbed on the beach, or chairs. The day I went here I prayed for it to be sunny, and I was very lucky it was one of the hottest days of my holiday. Anyway, you go into the entrance get changed and put your items into your locker. You then usually make your way into A-Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool-this was the pool I spent most of my day in. When I was...

Review of Typhoon Lagoon

Hit by a powerful Typhoon!!!

Advantages: Very powerful and great for pet hair
Disadvantages: can be a bit noisy.

...you want to carry it in an upright position. This is handy if you want to place it on the stairs as you're cleaning it. The power is fantastic, you can really feel the suction. I tend to use the Turbo brush for all my carpet vacuuming as it is so efficient in getting deep down into the pile and removing that stubborn pet hair. I then change the attachment to the hard floor head to do the rest of the house - wood floors and ceramic tiles in the kitchen. I really like the retractable cord as its another little time saver. I like the fact it is so easy to empty, that it can be done after every clean if needed, as this will help in keeping the airflow and suction in top condition. I am extremely happy with my Typhoon, my carpets have been given a new lease of life since I've been using it and would highly recommend it as a high quality...

Review of Typhoon JY009 Cylinder

Sounds Like a Typhoon in a Scrap Yard

Advantages: Looks stylish
Disadvantages: Noisy

...I had been looking around for a while for a new vacuum cleaner and at first had considered buying a Dyson. But I had read many reviews complaining about the reliability of Dyson vacuum cleaners (although you could say that about any vacuum cleaner these days). So I decided to check the market first and to ask myself what do I really need. The choice of vacuum cleaners out there is simply ridiculous. The amount of research and development and design that goes into the construction something you need to clean your carpet seems an incredible waist of human activity. In terms of style the cheaper ones look just as good as the more expensive and I realized that many of the more expensive models were aimed at people with large houses - and not what I required. I came across the Typhoon brand by accident and I'd never heard of it before but...

Make a splash at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon

Advantages: Great fun and gret rides
Disadvantages: Long queues and lack of dining facilities

...What is Typhoon lagoon? It's one of Disney's three water parks at Walt Disney World (WDW) and in my opinion definitely the best with the best rides and the most fun theme! Legend has it that Typhoon Lagoon was formed when a typhoon hit Florida and left the water behind and has left a ship struck on top of a hill (watch it when the ship blows!!) Getting into the park is great fun as you walk through a rain forest before you arrive in a magical tropical town (if you squint you could almost be in the Bahamas!!) What is there to do? There is a really good mix of activities here for all ages. If you are feeling very brave then ride the water slides. The Humunga Kowabunga speed slides really do test the bravest adults and children and are absolutely awesome. Tip: Don't ride this straight after lunch and make sure your swim...

Typhoon Lagoon

Advantages: Safe for the whole family and lots to do
Disadvantages: Swimming can only be done so long

Tiny Kitchen for Tiny Children

Advantages: Colourful and the right size for very young children
Disadvantages: Flimsy and low value for money

...Bubble Cook Mini Chef Kitchen Tiny Kitchen for Tiny Children We wanted to buy my daughter a kitchen for her birthday and being only small, we didn?t know whether the larger kitchen toys would be too big for her, so when we saw this Bubble Cook Mini Chef Kitchen in Asda for half price at £15 instead of the usual £30 we jumped at the chance. On the box it looked great and we felt that it would be perfect for our daughter. ****************** PACKAGING ****************** The kitchen comes in a rather large box which is a little misleading to the actual size of the toy. Unfortunately we didn?t come equipped with a tape measure on our visit to Asda, so had to guess what the measurements were ? and me being me, got it slightly wrong. The measurements are on the box in smaller print at 49 x 28.5 x 66.5 cm which I knew was small though I...

Review of Mookie Bubble Cook Kitchen

Marco's Kitchen

Advantages: Marco, celebs getting flustered
Disadvantages: not long enough

...I was once told that I was just like Marco Pierre White. Taking this as a compliment I mearly assummed that they were referring to how incredibly talented I am when working with food. Sadly this was not what they were getting at. I have recently discovered that it was more down to the fact that a lot of the time I say things which make no sense whatsoever! This is one way is what can make Marco's Hell's Kitchen so funny. I never watched it when Gordan Ramsey was doing it. But since Marco has taken over I've become completely addicted to it. Down to the fact that they've cut down the programme from what was 90 minutes to the hour, the amount of cooking where we actually got to see how they were doing it has been decreased. Appareantly due to the fact that ITV are 'skint' they couldn't afford to get any celebrities of a high standard...

Gifts from the Kitchen

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...Gifts from the Kitchen ? Ann Kleinberg: I have a thing for cookbooks, I have loads of them and I love nothing more than snuggling up on the sofa and just looking through them. This particular book was a birthday present from my Mum last January and now that Christmas is here, (woohoo), it has been getting plenty of use. Gifts from the Kitchen is a very pretty and girly hardback book from marks and Spencers. It is styled in a very kitsch way with lots of pretty pictures, pink and gingham! It is the sort of cookbook that instantly makes me want to a don a pinny and morph into a 1950s house-wife! The theme of pink and pale green flows throughout the book and teamed with the beautiful photography it works perfectly to get you into the mood to make lovely edible gifts which is, of course, the theme of the book. There are forty recipes in...
