21 Sunny Florida - my arse! This was the worst day when we attempted to re-visit Universal but gave up as it was so wet - and also very cold!	22 Monsters? - Us?	23 100 Years of Magic - this is the way Disney are celebrating but I think it's a bit of a 100 Years of Magic - this is the way Disney are celebrating but I think it's a bit of a cheat. They are basing it on the birth of Walt - but I reckon they should use the release date of the first film. Maybe they'll do another 100 year celebration then too - and make twice as much money (cynic).	24 Amy and Thomas surf on down at Sea World
