Yes, I totally agree about technology being great! We couldn't even do this last trip since we didn't have a laptop but now nothing is stopping me
The King suite is available on both the concierge and non concierge floors, ours wasn't concierge. I think it's a fabulous resort for both adults and kids but I have not been to the other two Universal resorts.
Actually, doing the trip reports help me too since I always post trip reports when I get home, this way they are partly done already!!
So, I had a rough night. I fell asleep around 11 pm-ish and then was woken up at 12:45 am by loud, rowdy people coming back from
HHN. This continued until about 1:30 am then I had to be up at 6 am, so I was thinking about going to Halloween Nights tonight looking like I did this morning at 6 am!! Boy that would scare a lot of people!
I did a quick check up on the post this morning then we high tailed it to BCV.
Checked in rather quicky (yay!) and got to AK at 8:40 am. It was super busy and by the time we got through bag security and ticketing, it was 9:05 and we missed the morning opening with the characters.
Rob was getting the grumpies cus he needs to eat every few hours and time was ticking away so we decided to have breakfast at Rainforest Cafe. We have tried eating at the one at DD for the last THREE trips but it never worked out so this is our first time at RFC. The place was gorgeous and well themed. We waited for about 10 minutes before someone bothered to come to our table. Rob was vibrating by this time but after about two minutes with Brittany, our server, we forgave her since she was so awesome! Rob was so hungry he wanted to order 4 things off the menu. I talked him down to two entrees (breakfast of bandits and paradise platter) that we can share. I haven't been eating much this whole trip and normally don't eat anything until about 1 or 2 pm but I took one look at the scrambled eggs and fell in love. Leave me alone with my eggs okay people! People were staring at me, could be because of the almost x-rated sounds coming out of my mouth perhaps?? Rob fell in love himself, with the fruit plate he ordered. Rob loves fruit more than he loves ice cream, so that gives you a good idea of how much he loves fruit!
The toast was still warm (sigh) and the butter melted onto it! Everything was divine and the great service only made this experience even better! Did I mention I had the best eggs ever????
We left Brittany a very generous tip and then wandered into the busy park. Well, more like rolled on into the park
We did Tough to be a Bug then Fastpassed Dinosaur and did PrimeEvil Whirl What a cool little coaster that is! We went on Dinosaur and then headed on over to FOTLK but there was standing room only, no thanks! So, instead Rob got some ice cream (not saying a word!) and we moseyed on over to Africa. Can one mosey in Africa? we might have looked out of place hmm...
Walked the Pangani Trail then watched FOTLK in the Lion section (paw up...roooooarrrrr~!)
Took tons of photos since this is our only AK day this trip.
It was almost 4pm so we decided to skip the parade and see if our room was ready. We got a great 1 bedroom on the 5th floor (Thanks Terry S!)
We unpacked, charged all those batteries and went down to eat at one of our all time fave Disney restaurants, Beaches and Cream.
We always eat here every trip, sometimes a few times and all but once it was fantabulous!!! We always have the cheeseburgers since they are heavenly!!!!!!!! I had read on the boards that when they run out of their burgers, they use the regular ones from the parks, which explains why sometimes, the burgers are just mediocre. So...we started eating and I was like..ughh...not the burgers we love. Rob's looking at me all weird and says, no they are fantastic. So we go on eating and I am like, well, they're not terrible but not great either. He's thinking, holy cow woman, you're expectations are way too high, these are fabulous! So I finish up with about 1/4 burger left and he eats his then he starts eating mine and his face turns from joy to disgust. He just looks at me like "hmmm, should I tell her???"
Finally he blurts out that his burger was WAY better and mine tasted like a theme park burger! Great! He gets a Beaches and Cream burger and I get a theme park burger!! I just have no luck today! But, alas, I sit back in my chair and think about my eggs. Those beautiful, luscious, amazing eggs...I reflect on my eggs for awhile. At least the Disney Food Gods blessed me with my eggs today...
Can anyone guess what Rob ate next??? Let's all say it together....ICE CREAM. With his cone in hand, we hop on the boat to MGM and check out the wait times to see if we have time to squeeze in my fave, TOT.
The board on Hollywood Blvd says 20 mins...hey not bad, we can do that!
We get to the tower and the wait time posted is 70 MINUTES! Hmm...crap. So we go check the wait time at RNR...30 mins... nope no time, it's 6:30 and Fantasmic starts in one hour. We walk back onto Sunset Blvd and the wait time to TOT now says 40 MINUTES...???? HUH??? OKay, maybe if we go check another ride, when we get back the wait time for TOT will be down to 10 mins!!
We found seats for Fantasmic and waited 1 hour for the show to start. We always love it. We sat in Sebastian, on purpose it's close to the exit and then right before the fireworks finale we walked up to the mezzanine and as soon as Mickey says "Some imagination huh?" we darted out.
Got to the boat and 30 mins later we arrive in Epcot. Got a decent spot on the bridge towards France and watched our fave show! Got some great photos and then walked back to the BCV. We were going to go back to MGM for EMH but we have a ton of dirty laundry so we nixed that plan.
Oh well, if we HAD gone to MGM, there would be no update this evening for you!! So I don;t wanna hear any complaints from the peanut gallery ok???
Hmmm, crap, just realized the time, hot tub closed 31 mins ago
Oh well, gotta get up early tomorrow anyway.
