Hi gang...Thought I might tell you how my trip is going and what you can expect if you go.I hope I tell you something maybe you ididn't know about.We arrived the morning of July 13th. We are staying at the Nickelodeon Suites Hotel .We got a bonus on arriving as I am a Prioity Club member, they upgraded my room from a Suite with 1 King size bed and couch to a room with all of that and a room with Bunk Beds.(check in early is my advice for staying here.) We met only 1 character so far at the Nick Hotel and that was DORA EXPLORER. I love the hot tubs (2)by the pool.Love the slides too.Remember if you are staying here, you are charged a $25 resort fee which covers parking and use of the work out room.Thats it.Everything else here has a charge.Even the shows at the hotel.
monday we went to Islands of adventure, arriving at 10:30am .Not too hot, rode everything we wanted to, crowds got heavier after lunch.We brought our lunches with us...PB and Jelly sandwiches and chips and brought from home.Food very expensive.
Tuesday we went to Universal...Very crowded and hot.I bought the Meal Deal(all you can eat for the day) for 1 adult (20.99 plus tax)and 1 child (10.00 plus tax).So that total was around $35 dollars.I am not ashamed that I cheated by getting in line with my daughter and get a lunch and then turn back around ,got back in line with my dauhter and got another lunch.I promise you I got my moneys worth. Also my son and I went to see the TNA Wrestling show which started at 6:30pm but if you really want a good seat and been one of the last in line and really like Wrestling ,the line starts at 3pm. My wife took my daughter while we saw the wresling show and rode many many rides because most of the visitors went to the wrestling show. Got out of the show around 8:30pm and went a rode several more rides.The Universal 360 show was great at 9:30pm....fireworks,lazers and much more. Came back to the Nick Hotel around 11pm. ...Also I forgot, we went to the parks via the shuttles from the Hotel.We did have reserve at Guest services for our ticket to the park...Also it didn't cost anything either to ride the shuttles. There are about 5 different times to leave in the Morning(starting at 8:50am) and 5 in the evening,(last at 10:50pm)...I am tired from walking .I beleive we will just stay here at the hotel and see all the things we can do here.Most has a charge but I will tell you all later what we did and the cost....
