OMG all woke up at 3.30am and couldnt get back to sleep, so enjoyed some American TV until it was a more reasonable hour lol. Complimentary breakfast started at 7.30am, so we were first in the queue i think! The hotel was really nice, very clean with the usual 2 queen beds etc. Breakfast was self-serve with cereal, toast, muffins, bagels, yoghurts, fruit, coffee, juice and was very nice.
After breaky we headed for some shopping at the Mall at Millenia, but when we arrived we found out that it only opened at 10.00am
so we walked round with a smoothie until then. Did some window shopping, DH bought a nice shirt and then went to the Florida Mall for even more shopping lol Enjoyed a pretzel for lunch (just a snack) and decided to go to Citywalks for the afternoon. We ate dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, which was nice but a bit loud really. A word of warning there are no prices on the menu, which i find very annoying! Spent the rest of the evening walking round Citywalks and also both DS's playing in the waterfountains until 9ish, when we headed back to the hotel again worn out

After another early breakfast we headed to Universal, the park wasnt that busy which was good and we managed to ride Men in Black twice in half an hour (youngest DS was made up cause he pressed the red button and got the bonus costing DH a gift from the shop). We also went on Jaws (yuck) and watched the Fear Factor Live, which was good, ET(
) and Woody Woodpeckers Rollercoaster! You can tell that my DS's arent the adventurous types lol. We left the park about 3.30 and went for an early dinner at the NBA restaurant, l can recommend early dinners as the restaurants are very quiet then. The meal was lovely and alot quieter than Hard Rock. After our fill of food we headed straight into Islands of Adventure even tho there was a storm approaching! We went on Cat in a Hat, Poseidons Fury (walking through the tunnel of water is amazing), Pteranodon Flyers and Spiderman (which i hated) but both DS's & DH loved! The storm never really happened, it just rained a little and then passed thankfully. On the way out of the park DH had his usual Funnel cake and headed for the waterfountains again. l enjoyed a Margareita while watching the DS's play and the sun go down, what more do you want from life.........
