Woke up about 5am and Mr Groovee and Lil Miss were wide awake. So got dressed and wakened The Boy. We headed to IHOP on the 192. Here we had pancakes yum yum. Jason our server was just fab and really cheered up the morning.
Then we headed to Universal for Islands Of Adventure. Parked in Preferred Parking for $22. We were in Spiderman 250. Then took the long walk to the gates. At the Gates we exchanged our express passes for the day. Then we were in.
Straight up to Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. Was a wait time of about 30 minutes on the board. Bags were dropped in to lockers as they were adament you couldn't have them on the ride. Still saw some people with there. The walk through was quite quick then we reached the Herbology Greenhouse which is were we slowed down. We did find the queue moved quickly and we were missing out on the special bits which are there to kill time in the queue. Next thing we knew we were on the ride. You have to run fast to get on and they clip you in. The ride was out of this world and not what I expected. I understand why no loose objects. I had been a bit worried but it was an amazing experience.
Then Mr G and Lil Miss went to ride Duelling dragons while The Boy and myself rode Flight of the hippogriff. The Boy's verdict... "A bit short!" I have to agree. We then wandered to the meeting place and met the others.
We decided to head to Dr Seuss Land. Used our express passes on the train and the carousel and then we walked into Cat in The Hat where Lil Miss was told off for filming.
We then headed to Marvel Land and Mr G and Lil Miss rode the Hulk on the express pass while The Boy and I had a seat. When they came off we headed to Storm Force for a teacup ride. I was glad when that was over. Then we nipped into Express pass for Spiderman. This is a ride we've never done and WOW, we were all amazed by it. Came out of there and spied a line to meet spiderman so we did and got photo's with him and Captain America.
Then we headed to Toon Lagoon. We decided to grab some food from Comic Strip cafe. We shared fries and Breadsticks which the kids loved. Then the kids and Mr G did Dudley Do-Right Ripsaw Falls. They came off drenched. Then we headed to Bluto's Barges, which made them wetter.
Then this was where the problem came in. Mr G and Lil Miss wanted to ride Jurassic Park. We went to the drop area, but a Thunder Storm Cleared the area. For about an hour we were separated. The Boy and I walked down to the entrance but were finding it tough as I suffer from Fibromyalgia. I was cold and wet. We finally found them again and all 3 went into the dryer as the rain was so heavy it had soaked them all. The lesson of the day when our phones don't have wifi to work is to arrange where to meet in these events.
We then bought some ice cream drop things and headed to the exit. The Boy bought "Stuart" the minion. Then we headed out. Mr G popped along to the Blue Man Group box office to get our tickets for next week.
Then it was back to the villa via the Pizzano's which is at the turn off for our villa. Mr G ran in and the first thing the guy said was "Where in Scotland are you from?" His auntie lives in Calendar. We grabbed a menu and ordered some food, Then back to the villa where we had a lovely meal and then chill out on the deck of the pool because of the rain. Although it was wet the warmth allowed us to sit outside.
I did laundry on the wet washing and then when it was dry, put it in each person's room. Thought I'd have a lie down on the bed and that was me until 6.30am.
