    FJ question...

    Great! We had a nice conversation in the hour we were trapped in line. A nice almost "grandmotherly" pair of ladies was ahead of us. They basically entertained my two oldest daughters by showing them the pictures from their camera that they had taken over the past few days. LOL! All of...

    Fanny Pack

    You can wear fanny packs on FJ. I actually asked in line and wore mine in. The resorts --at least PBH -- sold a nice blue one that laid flat which was nice. Each of my girls bought one for their cameras and glass cases. I actually just buckle it and sling it on my shoulder like a purse. It...

    Re-enter the park?

    And you do not need to "check out" of the park or anything. Just your ticket and your finger print. DG

    Why would you NOT do single rider on FJ?

    Mine just turned 9 year old loved this ride. He was a little scared before getting on, but came off wanting to do it again. I wouldn't do the single line with him unless he is very coordinated and doesn't get flustered. As far as the single rider line, they are going to have to figure out...

    Need Dining Suggestions

    We love Tchoup Chop and go every trip. Make a ressie online. Their website has a link to their dining ressie website. You can do a "chef's pairing" which is no longer on the menu but something worth requesting. Gives you small portions of what the chef wants to cook and pairs it with a glass...

    Olivander's and what to do with the wand

    The rumors may have been true. Some have the packing gene and some people have the shove gene. You never know. DG

    How many can sit across on FJ? Best seat?

    I got squirted directly in the eyes when I rode the left outside seat. I was not happy.

    Ollivanders or FJ first?

    We also got split up anyway. We were a family of 5. They made two of us wait for 5 other cars to go. I was getting rather upset at being passed by so much. The ironic thing is that the single riders just boarded any car anyway, so I think they ended up together and we had an empty seat. The...

    Forbidden Journey with arm in cast?

    Just FYI, the sign also says no recent surgeries. If your son's arm was like mine when my soft cast came off after only a week, it will look really strange and obvious it was in a cast. It is also going to be very, very much weaker without the cast than with.

    Really scared of weather and other questions: arriving in mco on Jul 02

    It is going to be hot. Start hydrating yourself the day or so before. Drink BEFORE you get thristy. Remember that your wrists are a great place to cool down the rest of your body. Run them under colder water. The nice thing is there are so many shows and rides inside that it does give...

    What do you do with your camera and stuff

    You will want your camera on FJ. There are a lot of picture chances in the walk through of the castle. DG

    Olivander's and what to do with the wand

    We bought 4 wands and put them in the FJ locker. I remember the girls wanted Hermoine's (sorry if that isn't spelled right) wand and they didn't have any more at the shops. But, coming out of the FJ ride, we saw the cart outside there and I did a quick look but then asked myself what the heck...

    Glasses on Forbidden Journey?

    This is the rule I would follow. How much would your vacation be ruined if you lost your glasses? For me, I wouldn't be able to see anything. Luckily I wear contacts. Do you have an old pair? Time to go get a cheap pair fitted you could stand to loose. Then carry your normal pair with you...

    Ollivanders??

    I told my kids that if they want the wand they want then they should just buy them at the cart. There was a cart outside FJ and one under the gazebo at Olivanders. Deb

    Is there a trick to being chosen at Olivanders?

    Wow. I am so glad we didn't get in. I would have been very upset if I waited and the kids didn't get the experience. I think we just thought everyone got it which is why I thought the line was so long. We bought our wands at the cart. Now the kids will be glad to hear we did. Deb

    Tips, Tricks and Secrets for the Portifino Bay Resort.

    PBH was a big part of why my kids wanted to go back to Universal. We had stayed a few times prior to going on a Disney Cruise. The kids wanted to go back and stay just there. We did find a little bit annoying that splendido seemed to close randomly with the weather each evening. We could...

    Glasses on Forbidden Journey?

    My daughter had no problem with glasses on that ride and her's are not the tightest in the world. It isn't a ride like a roller coaster. More like a more modern, intense, individual experience than a spiderman or a simpsons ride. The movements are much smoother and more attempting to mimic...

    Tips for going with an almost-4 and almost-8 year old

    I would do them in 2 days if you can. It will make it all for a much more relaxing time and any of the hotels are destinations in themselves. My son was 6 when we went last and is 8 going on 9 with the trip we just did. He loved ET, Jimmy Neutron, Shrek, Dr. Seuss, Cat in the Hat, Woody...

    Butterbeer - I just don't get it?

    LOL Butterbeer tastes like a light rootbeer with a little butterscotch to it. It is sweet. We got one and shared. People line up forever for it because it is the "experience" of drinking what the fictional characters drink. Just about the same common sense as people waiting for hours to...
