Hi there,

In dec we took our older two girls (5yrs and 2.5yrs) to dreamworld.....we had a great time, but we found:

* Dec is the worst, worst time to go themeparks in QLD, in fact anytime in Summer - way too hot.
* A lot of the rides we couldnt go on with a 2.5 year old.
* Rides, attractions were heaps spaced out - i.e we had far to walk from ride to ride. Hard with little ones in 30+ deg heat.
* Would never go to a theme park in school hols.....lining up for 40 mins is not fun - for anyone.
* I went to movie world zonks ago, and i think we should have gone there. Dont get me wrong, with wiggles world and nickoldeon land at dreamworld, there is lots for younger kids to do - but lots they cant go on too !
* A few girlfriends have taken their families to seaworld recently - they loved it....
* When asking my oldest daughter what was the fav part of her holiday she replied 'the hotel pool and the beach'.....agrhhhhh the $300 we spent at dreamworld could prob have been spent elsewhere.......but it was fun at the same time.

ETA: Save up good - Its expensive - it cost up $50 for 2 bottles of water, 2 packets of chips and 2 iceblocks (i say ICE, nothing flash here, just a water iceblock !!).
