Cast:
Me - Single.. addicted Solo traveler (but have companions for my first day at Universal)
The Boss - Sally.. my boss.. (yeah.. I am the only person who goes on vacation and spends time with my boss!!)
The Boss's Husband - Howard... he is an all around Good Guy! I get him in the will!!
The Agenda:
Friday, July 30 - Sunday, August, 8
Visit with the Boss & Boss' Husband at their home in Lake Mary for Friday and Sat.. move to Universal on Sunday.. check into RPR for 2 nights.. then move over to POFQ for 2 nights.. then finally to the Dolphin for 3 nights
Pre-Trip Info:
I am a Disney Addict. I am very well aware of this and take all measures necessary to attend to this addiction... hence, my third trip to Disney since NYE. However, a new twist. The Boss LOVES Universal in the Summer... Since I was staying with The Boss & The Boss' Husband for a few days before I headed over to Disney, they wanted to do a day at Universal... WITH ME!!!! .. WHAT??? I can't do that.. it's against the rules... No REAL Disney Addict crosses over to the dark side.!!! It is unheard of ... HOWEVER, as the Boss pays my salary.. I really have no choice... so, I agree.. OMG!! What Have I done??? Will Disney take away my Annual Pass?? Will My Pal Mickey start to resemble Linda Blair???? Secrectly I am a bit curious as to the wonders that universal may hold... I mean... I LOVE Dr Suess... and there is NO roller coaster I can't conquer... but.... I can't help feeling the guilt.. the pull... I mean.. that is ONE WHOLE day that I can't spend in the place I love most... Is it worth it?? Will I be entertained??? Will my betrayal of Disney be somehow justified??? . Since I am an avid reader of the DIS boards... I decided to research this, this.... Universal.... I ventured on over to the Universal Boards.....as I read the trip reports.. my curiosity was peaked... I wandered over to the Resort Board and was impressed with what I saw.. FOTL??? WHAT?? Who ever heard of such a thing... an idea began to form in my brain... Since The Boss HATES to wait in line for Anything.. and she was willing to book a VIP tour.. I thought I could surprise her with FOTL by staying one night at a Universal Resort.... Giving All 3 of us FOTL access for the first day... and me.. FOTL after they returned home... I, OF COURSE, would then IMMEDIATLY head over to Disney after my "Obligation" was complete. Hmmmmmm... ticket research... What is this??? 5 days for the price of 2?? Only $84??? Hmmmm??? That is a Great Deal... Hmmmmm... welllllllllllll.... since I can get the tickets for that price... seems a downright waste to ONLY stay One night at Universal... Maybe I should make it 2... and take advantage of the tix and fotl for 2 1/2 days.... I decide to go for it... I book RPR at a Fan Club Rate.. YES ... I actually have a Fan Club Card... I have had it FOREVER.. I don't even remember where or why I got it!! LOL!! But .. it was saving me tons of money on the hotel... another reason to stay an additional night...... I start to see Mickey and Goofy... and all the rest of the gang in my dreams at night... they are beckoning to me... begging me Not to Go OVer to the Dark side... Singing Wishes.. and waving Fast Passes at me..... "Don't Go... Don't Go.... " But I persevere... I start to find myself reading the universal boards More frequently than the Disney Boards....I can't help myself... I am ... can I admit it??>.. a bit excited now by my little adventure... I am feeling a bit risque... the daredevil... I am breaking the rules.. and it feels good!!! I start to get into planning the whole Universal trip like my first Disney trip.... I read and read about Citywalk... US and IOA.... Learn about FOTL..and am freaked out with everyone else when the new FOTL rules are announced... but I continue on.... I am happy to read trip reports that say the new rules didn't really dampen their time... I am rejuvenated.... I join Loews First... I inquire into reserving a Cabana....Wow... such fun.... I have all my reservations.... and I am ready to fly... Well... More on that flight in my next episode!
