mil-hmmm not enough space to tell about her. Well just say she and her mind took seperate vacations.
Now add bil-42 and sil-42

We let the kids sleep in and waiting for my bil/sil to arrive at the resort. They made it in and we finally hit US at about noon--thank God we had FOTL. US was pretty busy. We got in and hit Jimmy Neutron then moved on to Twister. It started pouring rain--really hard while we were waiting to get it. When we got it it was still raining some but not as bad. Line to get anywere near the Mummy was very long. We stopped in to Mosters Cafe to eat and luckily when we got out the Mummy line was shorter. Even with FOTL we had a 30 minute wait to get on. We loved it. I wish it was a little longer but the effects were great!
On to Earthquake and Jaws. We did MIB then my bil & sil were tired so they went back to their room (they had been up since 230 am). We went on to BTTF and ET. It started raining again and most everyone was ready to go. They left and my 4 yr old and I stayed to see Shrek and then we left.

We were going to eat at HRC with our certs. There were 10 of us and we had 4 certs. We told the waitress ahead of time we had them so we would know if we needed seperate checks or not. She said they normally wouldnt take all 4 but she would check. They did take all 4 of them and just put it on one check. We enjoyed our meal there. We always eat there on our visits, my 2 oldest really like it at the HRC. One not so good part of the evening was when my 4 yr old got seperated from us when we were leaving. But the staff was great and he was located right away--of course I had already had a heart attack from seeing he wasnt with us, lol.

Edited to add I did meet notatourist at Universal :wave: Nice meeting you! I had on my Dis button and it paid off I ran across a few people from the boards.
 
Great report. Isn't FOTL great? So, where does notatourist work?
 

Isn't not a notatourist great? She's really nice. Have encountered her only a couple times, and only had the oppotunity to say "hi" two of the times. :)

Sounds like you had a great time. Thanks for sharing!
