Creator's Key Takeaways

We are off to New Zealand. We've had a bit of a change of itinerary cuz there's going to be some rough weather going over and that's fine. We'll cope with that.

It's going to be 34 here in Sydney. Uh, I just hope that it's more of a refined version of the old system.

This is just magnificent. Um yeah, beautiful weather today. Um still remains to be seen whether we hit that uh nasty weather tomorrow or the next day. But uh today's fantastic, beautiful day.

This is so cool. Look at the whale tail. You can barely see it. It's crazy. This is nuts.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Don't forget there's usually plenty of seats up on the top deck for breakfast.
βœ“All children have to be toilet trained to use any of the water parks or any of the water play areas.
