Day 2.......
We woke up early, ate blueberry muffins, got on the boat, no wait again, and we're at the park by 9:20 or so, We wen't to IOA, first thing and DH and DS's rode Hulk...... they really liked it. DS3 was not feeling well, so we went to ride Cat in the Hat, he did NOT like it....... I think all the spinning was a little much for him, I'm guessing since he didn't feel well either, he was just too grumpy. So, DS3 and I went back to the room to take a "rest", his nose had started to run........ and I wanted to get him some cold medicine. DH and the boys stayed at the park and rode all the rides....... they LOVED spiderman, and rode it a few times, they rode everything at IOA except for The Pteranadon flyers. They got DS3 a spiderman toy and around noon came back to the room. We decided to go to the Huge McDonalds on Kirkman ( I think) it was awesome!! Our food was served on real plates with real silverware!! at Mcdonalds! They enjoyed the games, it cost about 23.00 for all 5 of us!!! Around 2:00 we got back to the hotel and decided to try DS3 again at the parks...... so, we walked over to US and rode Jimmy AGAIN!!! and E. T. then we made our way to MIB, That was a cool ride, we really liked it, we did baby swap, since DS3 was too little...... which was odd b-cuz they let him ride spiderman........( the next day). We walked around and shopped then decided to go to Nick studios....... by now it's about 5 pm, so we did the studio tour and we saw the cast of Slime Time, they we're getting their make-up on, Dave Aizer was eating what looked like a t.v. dinner, but DS3 was waving at him, and he came over and put his hand up on the glass and was talking to him......... that was really nice!!! We saw Jessica too. We decided we'd try to get tickets for Summer Slime for the next day. Then we met up with the boys again, they said they had rode jaws, T2, MIB,Earthquake and some others, they had gotten a turkey leg and said it was awful. Then
they went with DH to ride some rides and DS3 and I rode Jimmy 15 times in a row........ we didn't even get off the ride........... YEP, I was way much over Jimmy by this time. Then we went back to the room. Again, we ate outside the parks and away from the hotel....... we got chicken. When we got back to the hotel, the boys went to citywalk again and went to see Swat, they liked it. DH and I and DS3 went to the pool and did some laundry.
The boys got back around 10:30 and we all just crashed.
Day 3.......... DH and the boys left the room at 8:30 to be there when the park opened........ and we're disappointed that they didn't open till 8:55. DS3 and I slept in......... we went to the pool at about 9:30 and stayed until about 1:00. DH and the boys came back and got us from the pool, we changed and went to Hard Rock for lunch............ I will NEVER eat at this place again, it was the worst place I've ever been, I would've rather gone back to the Int. food bazaar with the stalker!!!!!!! Rose, our waitress got lost A LOT, and the food was horrible, I was so disgusted with it. DH and the boys got fajitas.......... the meat was so tough they could not chew it. I got the chicken tenders....... which we're so dry, I only ate 2 and DS3 got mac and cheese......... it was watery....... it was a let down!!!! We we're really looking forward to it......... OH Well. Then we went back to the park and I was mad at myself for not remembering the slime time tickets....... you had to get them at 1:00, so we missed them again. We walked in front of the Nick store and saw Jimmy, and took tons of pics with him, then the boys decided split up again, so we rode Jimmy yet again....... I know, it's hard to believe........... this time when we got off the ride Spongebob was there, so DS3 was sooooo excited, we got some great pics of him. We we're going to try for shrek but the line, even for fotl was very long, then we met up with the boys and DS2 was not feeling well, so he went back to the room to take a nap, and we went to the horror make-up show........ this was really fun. After that I wanted to go back to the hotel and and check on DS2, so, we went back and he was sleeping, so DS3 wanted to lay down too, so DH and DS1 went back to IOA and me and DS3 took a nap too. When we woke up, I called DH and he said they we're getting ready to go on spiderman...... again!!! they rode it about 5 times that day. DS1 wanted me to film them from the room on hulk...... so they called me back when they got on, and I got some good film of them on hulk....... then, on Dr. Doom. They rode hulk again and came back to the room, we decided eat at Jakes, at the hotel ........ WOW, now this was exceptional, we had the ribs and the boys had cheeseburgers, I was impressed with how good it was, and told DH we should've just been eating here all along. It was $50.00 We decided since DS3 was having such a good time at the pool, we'd go back........ the boys went over to citywalk, and we got DS3 an ice cream and we got some of those huge drinks........ it was a little over $20.00. I can't remember what they are called but they we're awsome, we sat by the pool, with our drinks and it was luxurious!!!!!!!! We got back to the room at around 11:00. The beds are so comfy we fell asleep........ not that the drinks had anything to do with it!!!!
Day 4........... My DM and DD we're meeting us today at the parks, so we we're up early and over at US by 9:00. They bought the express books so they could get on the rides with us....... we did, guess what......... yep, Jimmy, then twister, then earthquake, then MIB........ and then it started to drizzle...... so we decided to go eat lunch...... we went to cafe labamba.......... WOW, this was good too, they give you a LOT of food, DH, DD, and DM got the chicken, which none of them finished!!!! the boys got cheeseburgers and I got the chicken wrap....... it was really good, so I was happy!!! It was $60.00. Then DS1 said, "MOM, it's 12:50........ SLIME TIME TICKETS" so he and DS2 RAN over to the Nick studios to get the tickets.......... they got them, WHEW!!! We then went to ET, and MIB, then Jaws...... DS3 laughed his head off when the shark came up and scared "gramma"!!! It started raining agian so, I took DD and DM over to the hotel so they could see the resort. DH and the boys went to ride again at IOA. My DM LOVED the RPR, she loved the room, and the view. We walked around for a little while and they saw everything. DS3 was feeling bad again, so I took him back up to the room to take a nap before slime time, and DD and DM went to IOA to meet up with DH and the boys. At about 5 pm DH and the boys came back to the room, and they had "lost" DD and DM....... so, we got ready to go to slime time. We got over to the entrance line at 6:00, and we're told to come back at 6:40....... since we had no way to get in touch with DD and DM, we decided to ....... yes, you guessed it, ride Jimmy........ the boys said NO WAY, they'd meet us at 6:30........ so they left us again. We rode Jimmy until 6:30.......... UHHHHHH!!! Then we went and got in line for Slime Time, DH and DS3 couldn't go in the audience, but they had a viewing area, DS1 and 2 and I went in, and while we we're in line Dave saw us, and he waved and started blowing me kisses!!!!!!! I was thinking, OK this is cool, he said he remembered me from Tuesday! DS1 was saying....... "I'm telling DAD!!" It was funny. Then WE we're seated......... and we we're on Slime Time. I called my sister and had her tape it!! It was fun, and we had a really good time. When it was over, DS1 and I went to ride shrek, since it was 8:00 and we just barely got in line........ DH and DS2 and 3 went over to citywalk and got us some food from somewhere........ I don't remember, then went to the room. I loved Shrek...... it was great. We got out of it at 9:40.......... YEP, from 8:00 to 9:40 we we're in line then rode.............. thank goodness it was dark........... and windy, otherwise the line would've been unbearable. We got back to the room, and DM had left a message for us.......... they said they "lost" the boys earlier, and so, they just did some rides and went to eat, then went to thier hotel. We ate and went to bed.
Day 5............. We got up and DH and the boys headed to the park, DS3 and I packed up and went to the pool. We had a late check out at 2:00. at around noon they came back....... and we got cleaned up, and I called for a bellhop to come get our luggage, then we checked out of the hotel. We went back to the parks and it was raining.......... so, we rode cat in the hat and spiderman, then we went over to US....... we rode Jimmy, and ET then decided it was too rainy, so we ended the day. We rode the boat back to the hotel and took a lot of video of the resort, which if I didn't mention already, is very beautiful. Then we headed for Daytona. We spent the weekend in Daytona, the boys went to a go cart track near the speedway and rode on nitro cars.......... they went VERY fast, 75 mph in under 3 seconds....... they had a blast. DH and DS3 rode go carts too, and DS3 was mad b-cuz he couldn't drive one!!!
We had a really great time, and are looking forward to our next trip........... maybe if I can convince DH we'll go back in Feb. I really loved the RPR, the only complaint........... and not really a complaint, but we requested turn down service......... and it didn't happen once the entire week......... but, I can live with it! The staff was friendly and we really enjoyed the entire stay. We will go back to the resort. In fact, the boys ventured over to the Hard Rock hotel, to swim at the pool and they did NOT like it, they said it was NOT like a "Resort" it was just like a hotel!!!! This coming from two teenage boys........... HUMMM!!! Anyway they loved the RPR also, and they thought they we're the big dogs with fotl.......... we didn't wait for anything the entire week........ we we're treated exceptionally well and we're pampered!!!! It was very, very nice............
Thanks to all of you for your advice and tips......... I can't thank you enough. If you have any questions just ask.......... I'll try to answer.

I'm trying to remember the guy's name...one guy in particular...well, he was really nice and extremely helpful...always around in case we needed him for something. I'll try to find out and let you know in case you go back...maybe they'll allow waiter requests?
