Today was our one and only non-Disney day, I had gotten 1 day/2 park tickets to US/IOA for free so we would be hitting both parks. We got a taxi from AKL no problem and arrived just after opening, I can't remember the order we did everything sorry but I know we went to IOA first, my planning head was obviously not on as we should have gone to US first. Anyway I know we went on Spiderman, DH didn't bother with Hulk, Dr Doom had a really long wait so we gave that a miss as well, and we stayed away from all the wet rides as it was just too cold.
At some point we went over to look at Harry Potter, where DH left me to take way too many photos while he went on Dueling Dragons.
After i'd run out of things to photograph I walked towards DD and saw a group of people who were working on the Harry Potter project having a site inspection of some sort, I tried to listen in but they weren't talking loud enough. After they'd gone I spotted a squirrel so took more photos.
When Mike came off the ride we went over to US. DH wanted to go on RRR which wasn't open when we last came so he headed to that and I went to The Mummy, i'd not gone far though when DH appeared to say the queue was really long so we went to The Mummy together. I know I went on The Mummy twice more on my own, can't recall what DH did while I was escaping The Mummy. We also went on Men in Black, saw the Animal show and I think we went on ET.
The Simpson's ride hadn't been open the last time we came so we wanted to try that even though motion simulators make us both feel sick. We had a bit of a wait and yes it did make us both feel ill, DH was really dissapointed in the ride.
We went back to RRR and the wait had gone down so DH got in the queue and I went back to IOA to look for a jumper i'd just seen that I liked but they didn't have my size in US. They also didn't have it in IOA, I had lots of time until Mike would be finished though so I went into CityWalk. I went into Margaritaville and got a t-shirt that was on sale. At the till they tried to sell me a CD but I didn't tak them up on the offer. I went into the Universal shop and found my jumper in my size! I returned to US and didn't have to wait long until DH came off the ride, he'd loved it.
We ate at Bubba Gump's but it wasn't as good as last time I felt, then got a taxi back to AKL where we had some cocktails before returning to our room.
