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

[Janet B]

Hi Scott!

Great pix, and great update (as always). Like your expression in the scooby pic. We don't mind the water rides, heck when you are there in 90 degree plus weather with humidity in the 90s%, it feels good. We did both River Adventure and the Popeye's Barge.

Vinnie did look wetter than you...guess he (and Renee) must of looked like drowned rats after Popeye's ride. Waiting for those pix.

We had the brainy idea of riding Spiderman after going on Popeye's. It was okay until the line went inside the bldg, then we froze waiting our turn.

Good God, you guys really did get wet.

Speaking of wet... Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges. I swear I will never go on that one again. There's wet... and then there's Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges wet. Two VERY different things. I've been less wet in the shower.

so true!! It was not a Kali river rapids ride at all! We were saturated!

Hi Janet !!!!!

 

[scottny]

I have to say that Vinny looks a whole lot wetter than you from the first
"wet" ride; I can only imagine when he gets off ride #2.

he probably was. I was soaked though. I will be posting that update later today.

Now the Barge ride is my style > I love them !!!! So what did you do while they were on it ???????

I will post later today.

I think I've caught up now....sorry I disappeared Scott. New job, working too much. Tomorrow is ADR day so I am trying feverishly to figure out my plans

Next visit you will do FJ!!! And as for Jurassic Park, we got soaked!!! My DD7 cried, she hates to get wet. I really thought she had grown out of that stage a little. I loved the SeussLand Christmas decorations, thank you!

No problem. New job is a good reason why. I am searching now. Good luck on your adr's.
Sorry she cried. Some people just do not like getting wet.

I kept wondering why you weren't updating and then I realized I had unsubscribed myself from your TR!

I'm so glad that you post the chapters on FB so I could locate it more quickly!

You guys were soaked on that ride. I don't like water rides and getting wet. I would have sat the next one out with you. I can't believe how wet everyone on that Jurassic Park ride gets.

I loved the picture with you and Scooby Doo!

That is a good reason why you were not getting any,

Yes we were. Renee was also. It is a very wet ride but wait for the next one.
Thanks. I love the Scooby pics.

Thank you. As long as I think I can dry quickly I will do a wet ride.
That will be coming up later on today.
That sounds kind of familiar.

So you didn't want to get any wetter Scott? I don't understand why? I remember being at that park and going on one of the water rides. My shorts were like jean material and they were SOAKED. I walked around all afternoon feeling like I had a diaper on. Ugh!

I hope you dried off quickly - you look soaked!

 

[BebopAngel88]

I came upon this TR and I am loving it!! I've only been to Universal Studios in CA and I was extremely sad when they removed the ET ride. Seeing your pictures brings back some great memories. I can't wait till my kids are older and than I can bring them to FL.

No I id not. I felt like I had a shower on JP.
I hate when it feels like a diaper.
I dried off faster than them.

Thank you for reading along. I have been to the Cali one a few times but have not been in years. Sad they took it away from there.
They will have a blast but it is for older kids but lots of fun. Thanks again for joining.

I hope you got all you wanted.
I can understand that. Maybe one day she will.

While they went on the ride I decided to walk around a bit.


If you walk a little further back they have a bridge you can walk over it goes over where their ride goes. I wish I knew earlier as I would have ran there to take a pic of them on the rapids. Over the bridge brings you down by the lake.


The Incredible Hulk ride.


Nothing like being upside down.


The Lost Continent area, I believe.


You also do get to walk by some of the ride.


WOW! I went to Massachusetts. LOL


Another beautiful view.


Some of Harryland.


Then I continued walking along.




This is actually a play area for kids or at least a lot of them were playing there.


Another part of the ride.


And with that my walking tour was over. I went to meet up with them.

Up next,

Did I make the right decision and more walking.

I am so far behind on tr's. But slowly catching up.
Thanks.
it was great seeing Tracy & Bill but they make another appearance.

 

[KatMark]

You got some great shots on your walking tour of Universal, Scott.

Nope, I don't want to be upside down...no Hulk for me.

 

[dizneeat]

I am finally all caught up again!

Love your Universal photos - so fun to see the new additions, we have not been in a while. Thanks for taking the time to take all those detailed pics and posting them.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Great shots at IoA. Hope you walked the right way.

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Scott, your photos really do show how pretty and impressive Islands is.

Haha, for the record, I KNOW you made the right decision.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Your pictures while you were waiting on the rest of your crew are great. It's cool to see all of the coasters even though you wouldn't catch me on any of them.
