How was Hash House? That is my DS and DH first meal pick. We are thinking of ordering 2 meals and an appetizer for the 5 of us. What are the price points on sandwiches vs meals?

 

[dixonsontour]

Universal parks are supposed to be quieter this week. Plan is to do universal plus swimming for rest of week. Hash house was good again but stupidly massive portions. Think breakfasts we had were 13.99 each but could have fed 2.

Had a fun afternoon at gator land, dd enjoyed feeding the alligators turkey hot dogs. Had ice cream afterwards at private island icecream opposite gator land. They make it in front of you with liquid nitrogen - big hit with dd. I had key lime cheesecake flavour yum.
Dd and dh went in pool, only English in as it was a lot cooler yesterday evening.
Did the golf and dine deal at city walk, haunted course was a lot of fun in the dark. We all got a hole in one.

Had a good park day yesterday. Did islands of adventure yesterday morning. Rode Spider-Man, storm force, saw sinbad show for first time and my Dd loved the talking fountain. Got some hilarious photos of me meeting the raptor looking terrified. Had a great late lunch at margaritaville then went in other pool with the slide on courtyard side. Had a fun evening in diagon alley, rode gringotts again and dd did spells.

Also made dd come on suess carousel with me then we all went on red fish blue fish - both were a 5 min wait in the early afternoon.

Had a universal morning. Got to the park just before regular opening at 8. Rode despicable me, transformers and the mummy as walk ons. First time on the mummy at the limit of what I can manage ride wise. Did Simpsons, ET and terminator then had lunch at margaritaville again. Sitting on the patio is lovely and food and service great again. Dh came back for a nap and me and dd went back to watch animal actors show. Made a real effort to do the special photos on the photo connect did et closet one and Simpsons couch. At the pool now. Just seen them do a lifeguard drill where they put a fake toddler in the pool - very reassuring, lifeguards have been so vigilant. Lots of back to future shirts in park. Took a photo with delorean but nothing special on. Saw one park visitor dressed as doc.

Just had a mini Vermonter from Ben and Jerry at universal studios - well worth $15.33(saved 10% with ap) Just waiting for beetle juice show to start. Watched horror makeup show earlier for first time and enjoyed it.

Had a fun game of bowling with dd - $9 inc shoe hire 12-4 weekdays. Having a rest then will go back to hogsmeade this evening. Buses still great - not waited at all. So easy to come in and out of park.

 

[dixonsontour]

Did hogsmeade this evening with dd. She did all the spells and we rode hippogriff dd 3 times me once no line. Did forbidden journey again just before closing no line. Everything looks great at night.
Ate in food court which was fine then got a snores kit and made s'mores at the fire pit which was fun.
