Spring Break 2010 – Day 6

When we went to bed last night, Parker and I didn’t know what we were doing in the morning because our parental units hadn’t figured all of that out yet. When we woke up, we were read the verdict…Universal Studios Islands of Adventure! Anything with “Adventure” in the name can’t be too bad, right? It lived up it is name and it WAS an adventure!

We were there just as the park was opening and things weren’t even supposed to be rolling yet, so we were shocked to see rides going. We took full advantage of that, though, and had Hulk, Jurassic Park River Adventure, 2 tours through the Pteranodon Flyers, High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, The Cat in the Hat Ride, If I Ran the Zoo, and Spider-Man all done before lunch! The longest we waited was about 20 minutes at Fish and Cat in the Hat, but otherwise we sprinted straight through the ropes and hopped right on board, which was awesome.

After lunch, though, things changed and it got really busy. That didn’t stop us, though, and we took another lap around the islands to play on Popeye’s ship, tour the Jurassic Park Discovery Center (Parker said “Is this ANOTHER dinosaur museum?”), and a few other things before checking out Poseidon’s Fury. This thing looked awesome from the outside, but the wait was NOT awesome. Almost an hour later, but we were treated to an exciting show of noises, sounds, and an interactive battle of the Gods! It was time for us to cool down, so we hung out at the Mystic Fountain…a water sculpture that could see us, talk to us, told jokes, and squirted people. It was hilarious! Finally, we rounded out The Lost Continent area by taking in the Sindbad show before heading back to Seuss Landing for another go-around on the Trains and a few other last-minute rides (another trip to Spider-Man for Daddy and another ride on the Flyers for me).

We. Were. Beat. That Florida sun is hot and we walked a ton today, so we had a quick dinner then back to the hotel for a shower and bed. We have to rest up…more fun to be had tomorrow!
