The queue to the magic kingdom was really big and a bus pulled up for Epcot so we caught that and then got on the monorail to the TTC to catch the Link 50 to Seaworld then transferred to the Link 43 to Universal.
This took so long as the link 43 was late so we didn't end up getting to Universal till 10.50.
We met Shaggy and Scooby at the entrance.

We then went to Shrek 4-d which was about a 10 minute wait we both liked this and then we got off jack met Donkey and Shrek.Donkey was hilarious!!!

We then went on the E.T Ride and then we went on the much anticipated Back To The Future we were both really looking forward to going on this but we found it a really rough ride jack hit his head on the side and i was knocked around so much my ponytail was falling out this was a big disappointment to both of us i couldn't wait for it to finish.
We then went on Jaws we queued 30 minutes for this but it was another favourite we both came off laughing and after we went to get some lunch in Amity.

I ordered a chilli dog meal and fries and a sprite and a coke the plan was for jack to have the fries and i'd have the chilli dog as we both just wanted a snack when we went to the collection counter we had been given two chilli dog meals and when i went to tell the lady who gave it to us she turned her back on me and just ignored me so needless to say it went in a bin.
We then brought some stuff of the Jaws cart and we decided to leave the studios we were gonna go on Men in Black but as we were not allowed to take bags on this we decided against this and started to leave the park we were gonna go on Earthquake but there was 30 minute wait so we went on Twister which was a walk on.
We then went to IOA and headed straight to Spiderman jack did not like this as he said it spun too much and he told Spiderman that he didn't like his ride when we met him after:rotfl:

We brought the spiderman photo that was done then we went over to Seuss Landing and went on The Cat In The Hat,One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish,i didn't realize you got wet on this till we were at the front of the queue so i made jack sit on the outside:rotfl: (well he did have a raincoat with him)we then went on the CARO-SEUSS-EL we then got in the 30 minute queue for the Trolley Train Ride which took us an hour to get on.
We then went over to the Jurassic discovery centre as jack is currently doing a project on dinosaurs so i thought this would be educational for him and we took some photo's.
Now i didn't really enjoy Universal as much as i thought i would, maybe i was not in a great mood and i had been spoilt in Disney too much but i felt i could not go on any of the big rides as i didn't feel i could leave Jack to go on it.
Also why no bags on men in black? you can take them on the rock n rollercaoster.
It was a nightmare to find youw way around (or was this just me?)maybe it was the bus journey that was putting me off i just wanted to get back to Disney.
Waited 20 minutes and no sign of the bus coming so we jumped in a Taxi back to DTD.
The taxi driver was a bit too friendly and when we got out he handed me his number and told me that he also worked at the Yacht Club and that he could get us into disney free as he worked at the Yacht Club.$23.40+$8.00 Tip
We were going to have dinner in the Rainforest Cafe but the queue was quite big i gave Jack the choice and he chose to have dinner at the food court so we got the bus back to pop at 6.45 i can't remember what we had to eat then went back to the room where we had to watch Cory In The House and The Lilo And Stitch Movie went to sleep at 10.00.
 
A bad journey is always going to start your day off on the wrong foot.

I think the taxi driver was sweet on you puckerup: :love2:
 
I always get that "get me back to Disney" feeling when we go to Universal. I could easily give it a miss this year but we have Annual Passes and Mark and Kirsty seem to really like it.

Thanks for your report

Great trip report. :thumbsup2

I didnt think Universal was anywhere as good as WDW, it seemed to lack that special touch. :confused3
 
Shame that you didn't enjoy Universal much, and about the creepy taxi driver. I loved Jack's pic with Spiderman, I have one with him too - one of my favourites. I can't get into Cory in the House, nowhere near as good as Raven IMHO.

Laur's princess:
 
Great pics again :thumbsup2

I cant wait to see my DS's face when he sees spidey for the first time. We are having breakfast with him on our second day :teeth:
