Slept til midday - could not believe how tired I was yesterday - no pics of me until the bags have gone!!!!
Went for lunch at IHOP - I have been craving those pancakes for months now -mmmmm.
Then one of my favs - the visit to Walmart (sad I know). Stocked up on Mountain Dew and Diet Cherry Coke and grabbed a couple of sandwiches for tonight.
Nipped in the Dollartree as I have to get the tackiest (!) pressies ever for some work colleagues - they are in for a treat - lol!!!
Back to the Doubletree and a quick shower and we were off to the Annual Passholders Jungle Book Party at the Animal Kingdom.
Apologies for the lack of pics however this was a HUGE disappointment. We were only going for the rare character opportunity and after waiting 45 mins out come Baloo and King Louie. Fair enough but not rare. There is a LONG line behind us at this stage and we asked the cast member where the other characters were going to be. We were amazed when we were told the same place. After 20 mins Baloo would go in and swap but you had to join the back of the line - WHAT!!! It was basically pot luck which characters you got. Why not hold it at camp mickey/minnie where you can pick which line to join for each character.
We gave up and headed straight to Guest Services who were not in the slightest interested.
Never mind and we headed back up the I4 for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal.
After joining the I4 the rain came llike I have never seen before. You could not see a thing in front of you and we actually decided to come off the I4. Horrible, I know but I couldnt help thinking of those poor people left in line at Animal Kingdom!
On arrival back at the hotel the rain stopped and we caught the complimentary bus to Universal.
First saturday of HHN and it was BUSY! Lucky for us we had Express Passes. I would recommend these to everyone!!! Houses had 90 mins wait and we were getting through in 10 mins.
Best house - Tie between Freddy and Jason.
Worse house - The Thing.
This year the detail of the houses are exceptional but dont appear to be as scary as last year.
Jaws in the dark is far better than in the day.
Jacks Funhouse was also a 3D haunted house!!!!!!
At 11:30 my back was telling me I had had enough and for the first time in 3 trips, my crocs had given me a blister!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow checking out of Doubletree and checking into All Star Music.
