Day 4 Universal-Islands of adventure
Hitting Universal today a big fave of mine,Firstly we visited Sizzler a nice Diner Little more The Ponderosa but you get a good slug of OJ and can get a Daily Mail for 70 cents.. Pay parking at Universal $9 here too Do Disney and Universal copy each other..?! We have Fun activating our fun in the sun passes (WE wernt the only ones,Universal your ticketing system sucks!!) Once in we head For the Mummy Only Rachael and I ride ,I wont give much away but it starts as a typical dark rde Mummys and stuff The you go in this section where all The scarabs come out the walls It flies you backwards The belts you forward and turns into an out and out coaster!! Man it rocks!! Its unlike the Aerosmith coaster in that you fly straight out this ones just grabs you by surprise half way round!! From there we headed to MIB passing the closed Jaws (Boo Hoo) then to ET which is great as usual over to Shrek 4D and after We had our pic took with him but he was unhappy as I was bigger than him!!! And during the pic hes pushing my head down! Over to BeetleJuice and its still the same show which Im over the moon about as they sing Kiss.s Rock N Roll all Nite..! we then doubleback(Get It?!) and ride Back To The Future,we then leave the park and go to The Hard Rock Café where when buying some merchandise I was put on the spot and asked would I donate $10 to pay for breakfast for a deprived kid,This annoyed me I pay a lot of money to charities and I felt she was embarrassing me into it,Let me get it I pay $10 they give breakfast to kid that may cost them 2 Dollars?! I refused as I just gave her over $50 for merchandise Id rather give the kid $10 in his hand
From here we went into IOA and at this point the temp was well in the eighties I was cooking! Into Seuss land where we spent a long time We rode the dreadful Cat in The Hat ride! The girls did the Caruseull and One fish thing we then went and has some food in the Enchanted Oak Tavern this place rocks its like eating in Lord of The Rings movie or something,Stunning the Rib Chicken platter was good too we all shared it! The girls and I them rode the best ride in Orlando Spiderman!! This ride is AWESOME!!!


We left the park and headed for Prime One Mall check out the stores While there we had our tea at Lucy Hos The Malls OK but we love this Chinese food!!
Back to hotel I grabbed more coffee again! And watched a programme I never heard of House,MD Starring Hugh Laurie as a doctor it was Great Ill have to see if Sky show it…
 
house is indeed shown here ! think it may be on five ?? its a great show
 
Fab day at Universal ~ We like the Sizzler too.
 

We watched House whilst we were on holiday, I thought it was okay not really my thing I only watched it because I was too tired to switch the tv over. ;)
 
Another great day - DH and I love US and IOA too. Have to disagree about Cat in the Hat though - we love this ride, although it is aimed at the younger ones. I have to admit to loving One Fish Two Fish as well :)
