[nabs-l] The Disney Parks In Orlando

[Brianna Scerenscko]

I've been going to the Disney parks since I was a little girl.
Some of the people running the rides will let you skip the lines and
others won't, it just depends.
The rides, shows, and atractions are very spread out, but the little
shops and stores are usually very close together; they are usually one
right after and right next to one another.
It's usually crowded at the parks to the point that sometimes it's
hard to move around.
Hope this helps.
