Does Mickey thrill everyone from kids to grandparents in Orlando, Florida?
MICKEY MOUSE ears might come as one-size-fits-all but is Disney really a perfect fit for all ages?
DEAN SCOGGINS puts it to the test - taking his children, two and ten, and their grandparents for a couple of weeks of Florida sunshine, parks, playgrounds and more.
IT'S the only place in the world where you can walk six miles a day and the only things that hurt as much as your feet are your cheeks — from all the smiling.
The Orlando Disney experience covers six parks and takes in hundreds of things to see and do.
The moment the kids see the fairytale castle for the first time — as the music plays and the characters dance down Main Street — is worth the entrance fee alone.
For two-year-old Joshua, meeting favourite characters Jake and the Neverland Pirates was the highlight.
Older brother Jamie, ten, got to brave the big rides and still enjoy kiddie heaven on every corner, running to hug Mickey and Minnie.
Both boys, and Dad, adored Toy Story Midway Mania, in Hollywood Studios, where we put on 3D glasses to shoot lasers from spinning carts.
It was even more enjoyable without a lengthy queue as we learned how to use the My Disney Experience app wisely.
This quite brilliant addition allows you to book Fastpass+ for rides on the go, to jump long queues.
It's also well worth opting for the Disney PhotoPass service, included on packages such as the Ultimate Disney Ticket.
Instead of taking awkward selfies throughout the day, official photographers will capture your memories for you.
Minutes later the snaps appear on your app for you to download. Genius.
The safari at Animal Kingdom was a hit with the whole family and we kept the vibe going by heading straight to the Lion King show.
Parades and shows are great ways to take a break.
Watching Disney's Electric Parade and laser show, the kids, wife Joanna, nanny Sally and grandad Dave struggled to keep their eyes open but dared not miss the last moments.
We broke up the exhausting pace by spending two days relaxing at Disney's water parks — Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. Typhoon's wave pool is the biggest in North America. It's busy but sensational.
Blizzard is more relaxed. But if you need a thrill there, try Summit Plummet — a nearvertical drop down one of the fastest slides in the world.
With all the action, you're sure to work up an appetite. And while the ease of fast food is great once in a while, burgers and chips in vast, American-sized portions for a whole fortnight is not a good idea.
Now Disney is doing its bit to make sure you know what food is good for you.
Its Mickey Check icon on offerings in the park and hotel restaurants shows treats that are lower in calories, salt and sugar.
And there is always plenty of fruit, veg and juice on the menu, too. But being healthy doesn't mean being boring. We loved the turkey burgers, fajitas and stir fries.
The Mickey Check meals are available with Disney's Free Dine offer, which can now be booked for 2017.
The offer lets you dine for free for your entire stay when you book a Moderate, Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resort and ticket package for a minimum of five nights.
Another option is Disney's 14-Day Ultimate Ticket for the price of a seven-day ticket. See .
