we couldnt belive how empty the park was we had purchased tickets on the internet before we left and had 14 days consecutive admission we had decided to give sea world and Bush a miss this time.

we rode Twister, Jaws then the simpsons with only a 10 min wait( Great ride)

next we rode Terminator, Jimmy Neutron (I just love the Chicken Dance:rotfl: )
Shrek and Men in Black.

On the way out Kieran Had his hand stamped in city walk which gave us 20% off the bill at Nascar so we decided to have dinner here the food was ok and the boys had a great time playing Pool

We had a great time the only down side was I seemed to be eaten alive, so we made a stop at walgreens on the way back for insect repelant.
Cant remember what time we got back to the hotel but it was quite late so the Boys went straight to bed and Pete and I watched the weather Channel

Tomorrow Typhoon Lagoon and Magic Kingdom

Yummy...that Cinnabon cake looks delish!

Great pics. :thumbsup2

Well done to you on the no smoking - I gave up about 5 1/2 years ago so I know how tough it can be.

Hi Rachel, :)
I finally made it over. I'm glad to see I haven't missed much. We've never been to Universal, maybe one of these days.

Lovely report, thanks for posting.

Well done the both of you for giving up smoking, I hope this has continued.

We love Universal and are looking forward to the new rollercoaster being built. The area behind the smoking seats is all fenced off now with the fence you can see on the right, right by the main path.

My eldest son loves those Cinnabons, I can only have a little bit of it as they are too sweet for me.
