Mickey, Minions & more. 2 week holiday. Updated 9/14 - FINAL THOUGHTS

[MEK]

I probably already said this, but I will NEVER ride rip, ride, rocket. I get nervous just looking at it.

Transformer looks cool. That will be a new one for me!

Cool sponge bob pics. Is there anyone who doesn't love sponge bob?

 

[caralyn817]

My husband wants to ride Rip, Ride, Rocket so badly! Me.....Not so much! If the transformers ride is just like Spiderman, I won't be going on it. I get severely sick from Spiderman. Heck, the EOC on Nemo makes me sick when the bubbles do the spinning thing.

Well, I'm enjoying your report and several others that I decided to take the plunge. I did it and officially started a Pre-trip report. I'll also be doing a Trip Report after my trip, maybe even add some live updates. Stop by when you get a chance!

After our turn with some Transformers some people wanted to do this.


Vinny, Renee, Lorrie and Jim all went in to do this. I skipped it as I thought it was not so good the last time and I really wanted to try something else being I can fit. Shall we stroll over there?

The Christmas tree. It was very pretty in person.


And this was my destination.


When I got there I saw the seat to check if you fit. I was embarrassed to do this but I did it. The girl told me to ask for row 4. I said okay and I was on my way. I did single rider and I was the only on line. Complete walk on. I was shocked by this but was very happy. I proceeded in and some of the queue is very dark and got to the front. I told them I was told row 4 and they said okay go on. I did and guess what I was the only one (I wish I bought the pic). Anyway, I loaded and was off. This ride is familiar to Indiana Jones or Dinosaur in the beginning but then it goes crazy. All of the sudden I was being lifted out of my seat going up and down and all around. Then the ride stops and some talking goes on then he got angry and the floor drops and they took my pic. Then it was over. It was S-C-A-R-Y…

Here is a video on Youtube I found of it if you would like to see it for yourself.

After the ride I walked back to see them. They were not outside yet so I went over to get something to drink. Powerade Fruit Punch. $3.19 then I saw them.

I asked Vinny to take a pic of me.


At this point we were splitting up. Lorrie and Jim were off to do something and we were to stroll around. Bye Lorrie and Jim but we will see them again. Along the way I came to this beauty of a window.


The other 2 had to use the bathroom so I waited and took pics.


Then we decided to leave the park.




Looking over at Islands of Adventure.


I think I will stop here.

Up next,

???? Do we leave Universal or do something else there?

DH and I did Dr. Doom...we felt brave on our adult only trip (after a margarita or 2) NEVER AGAIN! My DH said he laughed since I was screaming louder than he's ever heard

That train is definitely what I want to see!

Great update(s) and WOWZA fantastic job, you look great!

I do not blame you. It looks high up there.
I agree.
Thanks.

I do want to try it but would like to lose some more before I do. It does look scary.
That was a cool ride.
Um, Me. I never got into it.

Tell him you meet him at the exit.
that is not good when you get sick on Nemo.
will do.

My vote is something else!

OMG - the Mummy - I haven't ridden that in years but that video brought it all back. We got stuck in that room with the fire in the ceiling and my lap belt was so tight I couldn't even squirm. Yup - that was fun!

 

[OhMari]

If you are not my brother from another mother

I rode The Mummy too and had no clue it was a roller coaster.
There was a lady and her 2 boys riding with me and when we got done with the ride I was so shaken and she asked me why if I was okay.

I hate twister too. I saw a tornado once and I still have night mares at nite.



We just confirmed our plans for Florida. Feb. 14-21.
I am really contemplating Universal. I want to go to see Harry P otter, but wonder if we should wait a year for the new addition.

I can imagine. It was a interesting ride.

I could be.
I knew it was but wow it just was shocking at how it was done.
that could be scary. I was in 8 water spouts and that was not fun in a boat as we crashed into a dock.
I am jealous.
I would wait personally but that is me.

 

[PrincessAlways]

I rode Mummy!!! Thought it was awesome! It was one of the rides I liked at Universal! Transformers looks interesting.

Hated Twister!! Stupid.....not even a ride!!

Just can't get into Universal......guess I'm just a Disney person.

it is fun but that first time is scary. I would do it again.
So true about Twister.
I like it as a break from Disney.

 

[Trentmom]

I loved twister, but it was so long ago, I barely remmeber it.

I just watched the mummy video. OMG. That looks so skeery

Love that minion window

When your mind is refreshed you will think otherwise. No I am sure some people do enjoy it but just not for me.

It was but fun but scary.

Me too

 

[dizneeat]

Love the updates, finally all caught up again.

We skipped Twister last time as well. But we LOVE the mummy! Such a fun ride, you never know what to expect and you got to ride it on your own. Awesome!

I am all for doing something else, but I guess I will have to wait and see.

 

[jenseib]

I hear transformers is really cool. I hope to get over and do it in a few years.
We did the single rider at Mummy too as Claire would not like it. It was a lot of fun and not what I expected at all. My parents rode it a few years ago thinking it was just a basic dark ride and my Dad hates roller coasters. he was freaking out.

 

[wiigirl]

Great pics!

 

[emmysmommy]

I'm behind a couple updates - oops! I am a HUGE I Love Lucy fan so I'd love to play that game and see if I make it to CA.

The street entertainment at US looks really fun. I watched so many episodes of SpongeBob when Em was little so I can say that I know all the characters. Even Patrick the adorable not-such-a-genius starfish.

I've never seen a Transformers movie but I can still appreciate a good thrill ride.

As always, I cheer you on with your progress from your weight loss! What a wonderful transformation.

You're caught up now. It was a fun game.
I never saw an episode but I do know the theme song.
They are good movies but very heavy with cgi.
Thank you.

Before I continue on I wanted to show the present I bought myself on the way out. I had to. If you know me on Facebook then you know I love Minions. Okay you know it here it too. LOL.
Total = $13.80 and worth every penny. 



On the way out we were thinking of leaving but then we thought why not. If you remember on the way in we passed the mini golf place by Citywalk and we decided to play a round. Now I present to you the haunted side of the course (the other side is sci-fi).

[mickeystoontown]

Scott, I have GOT to stop looking at all of your Universal pictures. I have been trying my best to figure out how to work a day into our trip that would be dedicated to just Universal. I can do it but it would blow my budget out of whack.

 

[mickeyfan71]

I've been MIA but I saw the TR update post on Facebook and thought I'd check it out!
Enjoying!

Cute Keychain

Mini golf looks like lot of fun
