One thing I forgot to mention is that we did ET about 6 times in part 4... Kids loved that one too

OK, last day...


My brother in law stayed with us for the night and was going to come with us in IOA. First thing we did was US. For DW and DD, it was back to woody woodpeckers kidzone and for me and Ds it was MIB again and again and again. (about 2 hours).

got together and went on ET a few more times. (BTW - Names at the end were working each time)

We then went over to IOA and went on Bluto's barge and Dr. Suess for a while.

It was then I made the decision to do something for me. I used to ride many rollercoasters and decided I wanted to ride Hulk. I had not been on a rollercoaster in about 10 years ! Well I got brave and got on with my brother in law. HOLY COW.... It was sooo amazing. I had NEVER been on a roller coaster that went upside down before. That first shoot up was ridiculous. My only regret was that I was so scared that the only thing I saw from the time the ride started until the end was the inside of my eyelids. Yup... kept them closed the entire time! LOL. Someone in my car said the picture was coming and I squinted my eyes open long enough to realize I needed to close them again. LOL.

Dinner was at Hard Rock. I had blackened chicken with alfredo pasta, DW had shrimp fahita, DD had peperoni pizza and DS had the last reviewed cheeseburger. When DS got cheeseburger he immediately rated it last. Upon further inspection the burger was overdone. Told waiter and he quickly and gladly got him another. That was was great. Here is the final order of cheeseburgers by my 9 year old son

Number 5 Mythos
Number 4 Nascar Cafe
Number 3 Motown Cafe
Number 2 Hard Rock Cafe
Number 1 Margaritaville

He loved all of them alot but this was the order. In his opinion none of them were bad at all.


Had a night swim and relaxed knowing that this was the best vacation we ever had together. Nothing went wrong. No problems and no issues.

Cant wait to go again!!!

Misc. facts

No fireworks this time of year
room 1733 is perfect but a looonnng walk from the elevator
Everybody was extremely friendly and polite
Dont go out in the sun without lotion
The cat in the hat can make you dizzy if you go on it 20 times
Loews member card was nice touch
This site was extremely helpful in making the vacation that much better
FOTL access is worth staying onsite
 
Yes, Buffet's has the best Cheesburger. Can't refute that. Also they have the best Nacho's. Nice reports and Congrats on the Roller Coaster. You picked a good one to go on. Very smooth ride and cool inversions. I am pushing 50 and hope that I will always be able to go on them. Nice reports thanks for the info.
 
I agree with no 1 cheeseburger as well sounds like u had a great vacation thanks for taking the time to share:jester:
 
Thanks for the report

One question, does staying onsite give you a shorter wait for restaurants too?

Thx

:cool:
 

Absolutely.

When we went to margaritaville, they said there was a 20 minute wait. When I showed them my room key we waited about 5 minutes.

It is definately a great benefit
 
Our family of 4 was just there too. Liked your report a lot. We stayed at PBH. FOTL is absolutely fantastic. Disney should do that too, but I cannot see it happening because they have so many resorts and it seems everyone stays on site. I did not know that showing room key gets you in faster at the restaurants! We made reservations through the hotel or the booths at the theme parks. We ate at NBA city (OK), Pastamore,(pretty good) and Mama Dellas (absolutely excellent). Thanks for your report, it was fun to relive our trip reading it. ::yes::
 
I had fun writing it and I have read so many I thought I should contribute as well.

Didnt know about the key thing until I read it here. Learned alot from this site:bounce:
 
hftmrock,
I loved reading your reports. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay at Universal. Congrats on riding the Hulk. I LOVE it. Next time you'll have to try the Dragons!!
 
Looks like USO may have hooked another addict! I've never tried the cheeseburger in paradise. This gives us a reason to return, thanks! The Hulk is awesome but you have to ride it with your eyes open and in the front seat. Another reason for you to return. Read the MIB tips and you will find a bunch of stuff that you missed. I can't believe that you got 1733 on your first visit! It took us 6 stays to get 1729 (2 doors down). You did a great job of planning and its obvious you are a great Dad!
 
The Cheeseburger in Paradise is the best hands down! Glad you had a great trip. Sounds like you will now be hooked on Universal like we are. Thanks for sharing your reports.
