Turned Away at the Border: San Angel Inn at Epcot

Age vs. Height at the theme parks: Where do you stand?
This year during my family’s Walt Disney World/Universal Studios Orlando summer vacation, my six-year-old experienced a significant milestone: she was able to ride many rides all by herself…but only at Universal Studios. That’s because while both parks have minimum height requirements for many rides, they differ in their “Ride Alone” policy. Universal’s policy is based on … Age vs. Height at the theme parks: Where do you stand?
How I Used DISboards to Plan the Trip of a Lifetime (2015 Star Wars Weekends)
Sometimes I find myself in a rut during the early Spring….there are no more holidays to celebrate, and our annual end-of-summer family vacation seems so far away.
