Day 15 Monday 26th December
Today was busy everywhere.
Actually had a lie in till 9am this morning, I feel guilty lying in on holiday.
Went to the Mall @ Millenia to get DD a case for her I pod, she chose a really stupid one. DD & DH had a fallen out, he went one way and we stayed in the I pod shop. We asked how to get the DVDs onto the I pod and was told he couldnt tell us how to do it. Ok, so we will find out some how, some way.
We found DH sitting in the car waiting for us. He just waited in the car till we came out in a fowl temper. Back to the room it was then, lol.
Anyway we all had time to chill, watch some TV and decide what to do later on.
We just went for a drive around and shopping. We went to Publix, very clean in here, what more can I say!
We came home, just chilled some more, I think wed reached the point in the holiday where everything just hit you, you know all the early rises etc..
I had an ok sleep but DH didnt.
Tomorrow is an early start.
Day 16 Tuesday 27th December
Today I woke up at 6:45am, Universal & IOA park hours are 8am 10pm another good reason for bringing the laptop, to check online for hours just in case they changed.
We were already and on our way for 7:30am, this has to be a record! Think that day of rest did us some good.
We went the back road to Universal and were there for 7:45am, not bad going. Couple of photos from the car as we were driving along taken with DH phone.
Paid for parking and away we went. It was cold this morning, but a gorgeous bright blue sky, forecast to be 68 today.
It was lovely and cool, perfect for doing the parks. Straight in to do the hulk, front row, excellent! Totally blew the cob webs away.
DD went straight back on for another ride.
We walked past Dr Doom and there was no wait at all
Spiderman was showing 5 min so DD went on Dr Doom and DH & I went on Spiderman, it was so funny as the people that were in the car with us hadnt done it before and it was really good to hear them enjoying it.
Walked round to Duelling Dragons, passing Jurassic Park. Wouldnt like to ride this today as its so cold.
This time we rode Ice first, front row again and there was only the 4 of us on the whole dragon!
Next it was Fire. We had about 10 min to wait for the front here. Ice is definitely the best in the front.
We had not done Cat in the Hat, so on we went. We forgot how much this ride spun you.
Wed had enough of IOA now and headed over to US. First port of call was breakfast; we went to the Cheesecake Factory bakery for one of these
This was delicious! The coffee however wasnt as nice it was when we first time.
After breakfast we went on Back to the Future, this again was so funny as the boy behind us was so excited! He screamed all the way through the ride, our ears were hurting when we got off.
Tried to get on MIB but it was having tech difficulties.
Next was Jaws, yes it was open ..yay. 10 min wait and we were meeting the great white.
Great ride as always. No cameras or video taping allowed.
Walked round to the Mummy, it was saying 30 min wait but DD & I decided to go single rider, so pleased we did as the line was longer than 30 min, I would say 60 min.
We were straight on; DD was lucky and got the front row. I was on the opposite side in the 3rd row. Never mind it was still a brilliant ride.
The crowds were just pouring in now
We thought we would call it a day here as we had loads to do today as tomorrow is my birthday and we are hitting the parks.
