Hi Everyone,

A great day at EPCOT today. Got to have a meal at one of my favorite places...Sunshine Seasons. I tried the new Mexican counter service establishment Cantina San Angel. I thought the food was good, but a bit pricey.

Hit Soarin, Spaceship Earth, Captain EO, and O' Canada. I walked through Mouse Gear and a small portion of the store is walled off right now. It's creating traffic problems in the store. I kept bumping into people.

Tomorrow's plan is to wake up early and workout at the gym downstairs. Then it's off to Universal for the day. I want to take a few rides on Spiderman and walk through the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. After the park closes it's over to Universal Studios theme park for Halloween Horror Nights with Chris and Kim Walthers.

More to come!

Hi Aaron, I'll be curious to hear what you think of Halloween Horror Nights. I've never been interested in it, but after talking with show director Mike Aiello, I'm kind of curious.

Somewhat reminded me of the Thriller video. A bit more on the cheesy side, but it was okay. The 3D is very good

I actually can't wait to see this (22 days ) - I think it is because it is new - something I haven't seen before.

No, not a lot, but enough to notice it. When you see the Marvel stuff it strikes you as out of place.

I'm sure I'll run into you somewhere. I'll be at the post race party most of the evening.

I've been to HHN one other time back in 2006. What struck me right away back then was how "adult" it really was. Not sure if they've tamed it down any from years past making it more palatable for tweens. I sort of doubt it.
It is a great show...I'm really looking forward to it. The costume designs and show props are some of the best I've ever seen.

Good Morning Everyone,

I'm headed downstairs to get a workout in at the Wilderness Lodge fitness center....Sturdy Branches. Later this morning I'm heading over to Universal Islands of Adventure for a couple rides on Spiderman and to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It will be interesting to see what the crowds are like at WWoHP. I was there opening weekend on June 18th and it was absolutely crazy.

Later in the evening I'm headed next door to Universal Studios and Halloween Horror Nights. Looking forward to hitting the 8 haunted houses and seeing the show in and around the park. Earlier this year I purchased a Universal Premier Annual Pass. Included in my pass booklet is a free Halloween Horror Nights ticket. I'll be using it tonight.

More to come from Universal Orlando

For you Vinylmation lovers out there

These are the ONLY vinylmations I've ever seen that I like! Of course, I'd be tempted to cut the ears off...

They are pretty cool. My nephew is a huge Nightmare/Jack fan, I wonder if these are just out for Halloween or if we will still see them when we go in November? I'll be buying my first Vinylmation if they are.

Can't wait to see pics of HHN and WWofHP.

The clouds are deceiving. The weather is nice. It was 82 degrees on my way here. Crowds appear to be very light.

Another great ride!

Oh that's awesome! I'll finally get to see HP in person in 2 weeks! Love the vicarious thrill.
