That easy access trip is going to cost me a fortune lol, I'm glad I live near Disney Orlando because of Jason but each trip is +$2000
Crazy how expensive everything is.

Disney Orlando has always been expensive, my friend. Nowadays it's even more so, +$100 for the tickets, but inside the parks, a bottle of water costs $8, a pizza slice $20, lol, But hey, if he's happy, I'm happier ;)

Last summer we had a stop over in Paris for 12 hours so to make the family happy we went to Disney. Yes very expensive and the queue... You can do like 5 rides in a day. Later on the trip we went to Europa Park for 3 days. Way less expensive but at least 20 rides in a day. Less known, a bit less magical but very fun rides.

This one we're going to isn't so much about attractions but rather more about many Lego constructions, from cars and rockets to cities. The other parks like Universal, Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom do have many more rides but the lines can be hour long lol

We have Legoland in Dubai but I didn't go yet. You will tell me how you enjoy it. I did Universal studio in Orlando when I was 15 and 18. I still have good memories about it.
Edit: for the princess meeting it was 3 hours queue.

I will not be going to Legoland when I get to Dubai. My kids would stage a coup!
 
Got a couple pictures of my upside down gobies this morning. They have grown since I got them but are still really tiny.

Pictures under white light, still a bit dirty but way better. Also my skimmer might be broken.. the water won't flow into the collection cup because there's not enough water filled up. If I turn it up it overflows, I'll send video when I'm home.

Keep up the hard work, it’s going to pay off! You’re doing something right, loads of coralline algae, I don’t have a spec.

We have taken the kids to Disney Land and Cedar Point but we found Kennywood just southeast of Pittsburgh. My wife and I would take a day off of work right before the kids started school and take them. Great park and rides. They could get off the roller coaster and get right back on. Definitely my favorite and a lot less expensive.
