Daughters 5th B day

Now I have been reading everyday the board and thought it would be only fair to share my own report, we went July 6-8th so i will try to remember the best that i can.

Cast: Me (stacy) 30 years old
Andy 31 years old
Zoe just turned 5

We live on the east coast so the total drive time is about 1 hr and 15 mins. We drove up on the night of the 6th and got into our hotel the comfort Inn Lake buena vista, had a free coupon for two nights yeah! The hotel was nice and had a great internet connection. We checked in around 10pm so we soon took showers and went to bed, wow i never realized that double beds were soo small. After my daughter was asleep i blew up balloons to decorate the room. We woke up around 7am and got dressed and headed down to breakfast this day we decided to do the free cont, let me tell you it was yuck, the OJ made me gag and the muffins were gross. Then headed on over to universal, where we planned to do the all you can eat deal anyway. Before actually making it to the gate we stopped and saw the race car beaver and then through the gates we stooped at the candy store on the way in, bought the cards and then later had to trade them for the arm band, which started at 10:30. Andy need to smoke, so while he was in the spot we took a picture with some charharters and then headed to the T3 show that was just loading. after that we headed over to see twister, kind of jumping around where ever there was a short line, but zoe did not like this one at all. By this time i was getting hungry and on the way to louies we saw doc holiday, now the all you can eat pass is soo worth it, just my trip through the line i had a slice of pizza, salad and cookie, then went back up for another slice and salad, andy had pizza, then a meatball sub that we split, and zoe a double decker pb&J, just then it started raining so we once again got another slice and sat a while longer. On the way out of louies we made our way over to the simpson which was almost a walk on at this time, zoe and I were a little motion sickness from it but andy really enjoyed it. When we got off it was pouring rain so we ran over to the MIB at least it was indoors and had soo much fun, but when we came out to ride it again the line was out the door so said forget it. Daddy then stopped for another cig, so zoe and i took some pictures. We then walked over to fivel goes west land which was neat but most of the things were closed as it was too wet. Daddy and zoe stood in line about 35 mins and rode the woody coaster, dad says it was actually alot of fun. The rain had stopped and we headed over to the curious george land figured we were already drenched, and then to the ball shooting area. Then we headed to the internation flim festival to eat again, have to get my moneys worth, this time i had sweet and sour chicken meal, back again for a fruit platter and zoe had chicken strips. Andy had chicken parm, fruit platter. Then to pose and say that zoe is 5 today. We were going to ride jaws but saw that line behind us and said forget it. Andy and Zoe are irish so they visited and posed with this guy. Now zoe had been so ready to see jimmy neutron and although the line was 40 mins we had to do it, and it was soo much fun, laughed the whole time. We then caught a show and posed with curious George, woody wood pecker. Then we went to see the animals live show, where the nice guy who let us in , took us to the front row for zoes bday. Then over to shrek 4d, we were in the worst seats in the back but still enjoyed the show. Did i tell you it rained again? We stood in line for disater soo long we had to get out to go eat, after all the free food is only till 8:30 we went to mels dinner and i had , bacon cheese burger with two orders of onion rings, andy had hamburger, onion rings and chicken strips and zoe had chicken strips and fries. i felt like we ate more then the moneys worth, but next time i would just stick to louies the most, it was soo good. The the show which i was not that impressed about, next time will skip it and back to the hotel. next time my IOA report. I want to add pictures but it wont let me need to make 10 post.
