I was still on a high from yesterday and wayne was getting really excited as today we were off to Universal - his favourite park !!
We got to universal at about 11am because cameron had a full blown melt down about not going back to Hollywood studios!! We basically sat in the car for 45 mins waiting for him to come join us
At one point Dan said why dont we just leave him here? Eventually he did emerge from the villa and got himself in the car still muttering on about how we never did anything for him - the most amusing statement to anyone who knows us really well !!
On getting to Universal we went into guest services to see if they could do anything to help us with the lines - like disney do !! The man in there was rather unhelpful to be honest until I mentioned that disney allows us to use their fast pass line without actually getting a fastpass. All of a sudden we were presented with 4 express passes - think he wanted to get rid of us as cameron was starting another screaming match about being kept in the office when we said we were going to have fun !! Me and wayne both thought tod ay was going to be one of them days when we knew Cameron had aspergers !!
To try and appease cam b4 the masses started tutting we told him to choose a ride - he chose Simpsons so off we go fingers crossed that this was the end of the meltdowns for the day!
The simpsons ride is awesome but man even with express passes we waited for 40 minutes !! keira was too small to ride so we did a parent swap the cm that was operating the ride took keira into alittle room and presented her with a lovely certificate that said undersized but not under appreciated - it enables her to come bk again when she is tall enough and get front of line access !! Keira was impressed as she thought it was a pressie from the simpsons !
As we left the ride we bumped into waynes idols ;
Now this is the part that Universal really do suck at - dinnertime with Keira !! At Disney we have never had a problem finding somewhere to get gluten free food - Universal however suck !! Eventually we were told to go to Finnegans - I hated this place it was loud and our waitress couldnt have been any less friendly if she tried!! The food was nice but nothing amazing!! We turned down dessert which started Cam off again - we left knowing we would never eat there again!!
me and wayne did a parent swap for the big rides and then we took the kids to the fieviel playground finally the kids had a smile on their face the cm in here was fab he had a fab time running round with our kids ! Thn just as we were leaving the playarea dan turned round waving to the cm and fell over hitting his head on the big concrete sardine tin and knocked himself out !!
The cms were fantastic the man who had been playing with the boys instantly took my other 3 away from us and played with them round the corner he was soon joined by a lady who blew bubbles for england o keep keira amused. First aid were with us in seconds and he was fantastic amazingly dan was not concussed he had a super bump growing from the side of his head but he seemed ok !!
After sitting down for half hour with the first aiders we decided it really wasnt our day and we should go home !!
Universal is difficult with kids its really an adult park and i think its 1 that in future we will prob split up for wayne and ben in universal and me and kids in islands !!
