A few observations from our recent trip:
Back from Orlando, and ready for December! We had a fantastic time at Universal Orlando. We had plenty of time to do all the rides (the Simpsons 4 times in one day -- not my idea, but ds loved it), the Express access made a huge difference. Even when lines were long and crowded, we skated right through.
My Thanksgiving dinner was a Burger King whopper. Again, not my idea...I think ds was afraid I'd make him eat turkey if we ate some place that resembled a restaurant.
We went to the Animal Actors show for the first time at US. We were both impressed, very cute if you like animals. We also saw the Beetlejuice Graveyard Review twice, once on Thanksgiving and once on Saturday. Let's just say most of the A Team clearly had the day off for Thanksgiving. It was the same show, but the performances were quite different. Both were good, but the Saturday show definitely had more "Oomph!"
The Harry Potter castle is coming right along. I'm looking forward to going back and experiences Hogwarts.
No water rides for us. Yes, they were open. No, we weren't up for it what with some people wearing gloves, hats, boots and parkas. Not us, 60 degrees isn't quite that cold to us -- but too cold for a soaking.
Friday night Megadeth played at the Hard Rock Live. Saturday night David Cook played at the same venue. I don't think they have any of the same fans, judging by the lines we saw.
I managed to get in 2 3M workouts, so I was pretty happy with that. The gym experience was fine, just warmer than I'm used to.
We stayed at the RPR onsite, and had a gorgeous view of the pool and lake. (Thanks, mac, for reminding me to ask for my water view upgrade!) We were able to watch the boats dock and take off, so that was fun. DS got in the pool once, then thought better of it. Too cold for me by far!
Feel free to ask any questions...
