While reflecting on the holiday as a whole Jessica reckoned that if they were to visit again, they'd aim to do so in either April/May or September/October to avoid such roasting temps. She also recommended a Marvel and Spiderman section which Peter loved due to his "very competitive" nature. Perhaps her most important tip, however, was to purchase as many fast pass tickets for rides as possible given that crowds are "bananas" in the height of peak season.

Tadhg Beirne to captain Lions against Waratahs
TADHG BEIRNE WILL captain the British and Irish Lions for Saturday's meeting with the New South Wales Waratahs in Sydney [KO 11am Irish time, Sky Sports]. The Munster player is among six Irish players in the starting XV. Hugo Keenan, who missed Wednesday's defeat of the Reds through illness, is named to make his Lions debut at fullback. Advertisement Connacht's Mack Hansen and Scotland's Blair Kinghorn complete the back three, with Toulon's Kinghorn also lining out for the Lions for the first time. Andy Farrell has opted for an all-Scotland centre pairing of Huw Jones and Sione Tuipulotu, while Fin Smith returns at out-half and Alex Mitchell starts at scrum-half. Pierre Schoeman, Luke Cowan-Dickie and Connacht's Finlay Bealham pack down in the front row. Beirne captains the side from the second row alongside his Ireland teammate James Ryan, who makes a Lions starting team for the first time having debuted off the bench against the Reds. A new-look back row sees Northampton's Henry Pollock shift to blindside flanker, with Josh van der Flier at openside and Ben Earl at number eight. Farrell has opted for a 6:2 bench split, with Dan Sheehan, Ellis Genge, Tadhg Furlong, Joe McCarthy, Scott Cummings and Jac Morgan the forward replacements, while Ben White and Marcus Smith cover the backline. Farrell has also confirmed that Saracens and England back Elliot Daly has been ruled out of the rest of the tour with a fractured forearm, having sustained the injury in the win over the Reds. Owen Farrell, who recently rejoined Saracens following a season with French side Racing 92, has been called up as Daly's replacement and is due to join the squad in Sydney on Friday. Andy Farrell said: 'It is heartbreaking for the group that Elliot's tour is over. He is a Lions legend who has added so much to the group on and off the field over the past few weeks and over the course of three tours. 'Owen will now come in and add to our options and bring his own Lions experience to the group.' British & Irish Lions: 15. Hugo Keenan 14. Mack Hansen 13. Huw Jones 12. Sione Tuipulotu 11.

Owen Farrell called up by the Lions as Elliot Daly's tour ended
LIONS BOSS ANDY Farrell has called his son, Owen, into his squad in Australia as an injury replacement for Elliot Daly. England international Daly fractured his forearm during Wednesday's win over the Queensland Reds, cruelly ending what had been a positive start to the tour. Lions head coach Farrell has now turned to Owen to link up with the squad in Daly's place. Owen will arrive in Sydney on Friday evening. Advertisement This will be Farrell's fourth Lions tour, having been part of the 2013, 2017, and 2021 campaigns. Farrell is an out-half or inside centre, whereas Daly plays at fullback, outside centre, or on the wing. 33-year-old Farrell is coming off the back of a difficult, injury-hit season with French side Racing 92 and left the club early this summer to re-join Saracens. He recently worked as a pundit on Sky Sports' coverage of the Lions' defeat to Argentina but will now join the squad Down Under. 'It is heartbreaking for the group that Elliot's tour is over,' said Andy Farrell. 'He is a Lions legend who has added so much to the group on and off the field over the past few weeks and over the course of three tours. 'Owen will now come in and add to our options and bring his own Lions experience to the group.' Lions tour manager, Ieuan Evans, added his best wishes to Daly. 'To be a three-times tourist like Elliot means you have to be a world-class player over an extended period of time,' said Evans. 'But not only is Elliot a world-class player, he is also a wonderful Lion who is much-loved by his teammates and our fans. So we all feel for him right now.
