DAY 6-APRIL 6th.
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
I woke at 6am,and got myself ready whilst the other 3 were still snoring.I woke them at 7am,and we went down for our free breakfast in the hotel :thumbsup2.Usual all round,sausages,fried eggs,bacon,breakfast potatoes,pancakes+syrup+orange juice.
We got a Taxi($13)and arrived at Islands Of Adventure at 8-30am,plenty of time as the park did'nt open until 9am today.Tony was very excited to be going here at last-he loves the thrill rides especially Hulk :scared1:,i was also looking forward to this park as i love Seuss Landing....

We queued with the hoards of others and headed straight to Hulk which was a 15min wait time,i took the girls on Storm Force(WHY :confused3??? :laughing:).Me+Chloe tried our best to hold the wheel as still as possible to stop us from spinning,boy was that a joke.I did'nt realise just how hard it was to hold this stlll.So i had to hold on for dear life to Emily as she was sliding all over the place+nearly ended up on the floor of the ride :scared1:,whilst trying to hold on to the wheel with the other hand :laughing:,whilst trying not to throw up myself :sick:,whilst all the time Chloe was nearly wetting herself with laughter :rotfl2:.We survived this,although quite embarrisingly :laughing:.
I took the girls over to the Hulk car to have there picture done...

We then made our way to meet Spiderman.The queue was only about a 10min wait,Tony met up with us as we was nearing the front.Spiderman was absolutley fantastic with my girls :worship:,he spent time to talking to them,asking them if they had been saving the planet etc...Emily was just staring at him in awe-completley starstruck+could'nt even answer his questions :cutie:.He held her hand the whole time he was talking to them :thumbsup2.
We had the professional photo's taken,and they cost $26.58 for 2 5x7 and 4 wallet size prints,in a cardboard folder.
These are the ones i took..........

We the went into Marvel Alterniverse where Tony got a Punisher hat $21.95-what for a hat :eek:.
Tony made his way to Dr Doom,which was showing a 20min wait,whilst me+the girls wandered around the area+taking pictures along the way.We met back up+watched the mini Parade that the SuperHeroes do on there jeeps.The girls got there pictures taken with Storm,Vogue+Captain America.We then queued for Spiderman-30min wait.I love this ride,it is absoulutley amazing-BUT i never got a chance to watch-as i had Emily sitting next to me+she was crying+was pretty scared,so i removed our glasses and was cuddling+consoling her,so i missed out on the ride :sad1:.Will try again when we come back next week.
We then made our way to Seuss Landing,it was starting to get very dark by now-we waited for the Dr Seuss Show+then the heavens opened,someone came out and said the show had been postponed :sad1:.We made a dash for the Book Shop,where i got a Cat In The Hat Mug($16.95),Tony got a Grinch Mug($16.95),A pack of 4 large plastic Seuss Character Tumblers($9.95),Emily got a Cat In The Hat Beanie($12.95)Cat In The Hat Notebook+Pen($7.95)Seuss Landing Tumbler($4.95)Chloe got the same Tumbler,a VERY expensive way to keep dry :rotfl:.It only lasted about 10mins,so we made our way to One Fish,Red Fish,Two Fish,Blue Fish(i think that's right :confused3)-35min wait.Emily did'nt want to go on it :confused3,so Tony took Chloe.......
http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk81/snowy-girls/PICT2021.jpg
Back to wait for the Dr Seuss Show,the Guy came out,started to talk+it bucketed down,once again the show was cancelled :sad2:.
We went into Snookers+Snookers where the girls shared a large M+M's chocolate covered rice krispy bar-this thing was HUGE.I had a white chocolate+raspberry cookie and Tony had a peanut butter cookie,we all shared a bottle of sprite-total $12.18.
Then straight on to Carou'seussel-30min wait.....

Rain had stopped after we had finished on here.Next was High In The Sky Trolley Ride 30min wait,which turnt out to be a 45min wait :headache:-this was a new one for us as it was'nt 'built' last time-we really enjoyed this-i was quite suprised how rickety it felt up there :scared1:.
Some pics from this ride...the view was amazing.....

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk81/snowy-girls/PICT2034.jpg
We then shared a large tub of Dipping Dot's-oh my these were lovely-i think it was ClaireL who told me about these,can't wait to have more of these when we go back.We had a mixed tub-which i think was banana,strawberry,oreo,cookies+cream-$6.68.For anyone who does'nt know what i am on about they are small round balls of frozen ice cream-i think thats the best way to describe them :laughing:.
Next was Cat In The Hat-again a great ride-Emily was a little scared when she thought the piano was really going to fall on her.......
http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk81/snowy-girls/PICT2010.jpg
http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk81/snowy-girls/PICT2015.jpg
http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk81/snowy-girls/PICT2017.jpg
When we came off,2 lines were forming which we found out was for Cat In The Hat+The Grinch,the girls waited in line for pictures+autograph.The Grinch kept on pulling Chloe's hair+Emily just looked purely petrified of him :laughing:.She loved Cat though,he was constantly giving her cuddles....
http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk81/snowy-girls/PICT2039.jpg
http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk81/snowy-girls/PICT2049.jpg
We popped into Toon Extra where Emily bought a Curious George cuddly toy,that velcro's around her neck $18.95.
Next was If I Ran The Zoo-we spent about an hour in here before the rain hit again-this time there was no letting up-it was really,really heavy+also thuderstorms-we waited for it to slow up before we gave up on IOA at 4.20pm today+made our way to NBA City for dinner..............

We thought at least when we went back the following week we can see the show then-but that never happened either-it was rained off :rotfl2:.x.

A great day Michelle. I love the piccie of the girls doing their Spidey pose :)
Thanks Mandy-Emily just could'nt get the hang of the Spidey pose-so in the end he showed her+moulded her fingers into the 'pose' for the professional photo-so it came out perfect :thumbsup2.x.

Oh free breakfast always tastes good as well :thumbsup2.I just did'nt see the point of going elsewhere to get the same thing+pay for it.We did go to a few other breakfasts-but me-i begrudged paying for it :laughing:.

Snookers+Snookers-i could spend an awful lot of money in there :worship:.Especially all the different types of fudge.

As for Day 7-it could be tomorrow :scared1: :lmao:.x.

The Spidey we see-was amazing,his voice is spot on-perfect :worship:.x.

[Pegasus928]

A great day Michelle.
We love NBA too - DW says it is one of the best staeks she has ever had while in Florida - and we have had a lot of steaks. We have made sure it is factored into our next trip.
Keep the TRs coming.

[Chilly]

It always seems to rain when I go to IOA as well.

Will make a note to try out NBA's food.

[natalielongstaff]

great day, we had a great bit of character interaction with spiderman at the character breakfast, he was fantastic with Matthew ! one of the best characters ever :thumbsup2

[wickesy]

Yay, you've posted another day. I'm not one of those two people who would lynch you am I? :angel: ;)

I love the poses the girls are doing by the Hulk car. You certainly packed a lot into the day but it's a shame Emily was scared by the Spiderman ride. Did you get the pecanbons from the Cinnabon shop? That has got to be my favourite chain of shops in America. :love:

Funnily enough I had one of those 'expensive way to keep dry' moments last week - although not quite as expensive as yours.

Looking forward to day 7. :thumbsup2

[thelittlemermaid83]

The Spidey we see-was amazing,his voice is spot on-perfect :worship:.x.

I've never even watched a spiderman film :scared1:

[jjk]

great day Michelle, you have just reminded me to add dipping dots to my must get list this trip :thumbsup2

[Pinky166]

A great day apart from the rain. We love IOA but are not planning on going this trip. :sad2: I love the little super hero parade on the quad bikes. :charac4:

I wanted to try dippin dots in December but forgot. :headache:

Looking forward to reading more. :goodvibes


Well its about time :rolleyes1 ............


Did you think you could get away with that comment mister???? :sad2:

Pull your finger out will ya! And whilst your at it where are your wedding photos?????

[arieljasmine]

I had one of the best character experiences ever with Spiderman, I will definitely be taking Eric to meet him when he is old enough.

I think you were super brave this day, Michelle - I was terrified on that high in the sky ride - never again!

Dippin Dots rock! I love the rainbow ones, hard to find though.

So pleased Emily got her Curious George cuddly - I remember you asking about that a while ago. Eric has taken a shine to mine.
