Day 5 Universal studios and EPCOT

Back up to the Comfort inn this morning to catch the bus to Universal.We had a walk around here but only Erin and I went on The mummy which I found very jerky. Leigh and Erin then went onto Back to the future which I hate so Claire and I just sat and people watched. This to be honest is my least fav park so we didn’t stay long. Bus back to Hotel then got changed and went to EPCOT it was the food and wine festival so two glasses of Champagne were bought for Leigh and I. Lovely!!!
We then stopped and watched the Gymnasts in China who were fantastic. We gat as far as Morocco and decided to stay there and watch the fireworks so Claire and Erin staked our claim on a spot and climbed onto the wall when disaster struck Claire’s knee dislocated!!!it’s a recurring problem but never happened on holiday before..I had to pull it at the ankle to get it back in but she was screaming in agony! Within seconds we had 4 Disney employees around us who got us painkillers, ice and a wheelchair and radioed someone to get us V.I.P seats for the fireworks …result Claire!!! Only joking it was a shame she was in agony. We watched the fireworks and then made our way back up to the hotel ,deposited the girls into the room and Leigh and I went over to Walgreen’s to get Claire a Knee splint.
Just a thought does anyone actually buy those sombreros!!!!

I felt Claire's pain. I agree a drastic step just to get good seats for the fireworks.
Hope the knee did not put a damper on the holiday and Claire did not suffer badly

Yes it was terrible when it happened but she tried so hard not to spoil the holiday she just got up the next day and put it behind her !!!
