Do you know how often they do the extra hours in the park? It really emptied out after 11 didn't it. Much better and easier to then get on rides I guess.
@thisbirdrocks 4 күн бұрын
@@Davidxela They do deluxe hours twice a week, the parks that have it do change seasonally. In August it was Magic Kingdom & Epcot. During the holiday period its Epcot on Monday’s & Animal Kingdom on Wednesday’s. It changes back in the new year. A lot of the rides were walk on the later you stayed. We definitely made the most of them this trip.

@@Davidxela This was in the main dining room, there were only 2 of us. Our server actively encouraged us to have more than 1 starter if we couldn’t decide on which one. One evening we had 2 starters each and an extra starter with our mains as a side. They let us order whatever we wanted. The same with breakfast, ordered eggs Benedict and then added items from the make your own section. In the surcharge restaurants we didn’t try so I’d assume not unless you paid for the extras.

The big yellow platform is actually not an oilrig. I know, pretty surprising! I live in Haugesund myself, so I see oilrigs coming and going to the docks for repairs, upgrades, maintenances etc. But this one is different, it's supposedly some form of substation for offshore windmills. Nice that you enjoyed our town though. :) Stavanger is actually larger than Haugesund, at around 200 000, while Haugesund is around 50 000 people now. It's a much older city though, being roughly a 1000 years old. Which could be why it has retained more of its old town charm in many areas. Haugesund on the other hand is quite young, especially if you compare it to the average British town, being founded in 1855. So that's why it's mostly straight, planned streets in the centre, not as much old town feel to it, etc.
