Yayyyyy .. by the time we got the car loaded and everything taken care of we were able to get a spot and have our Breakfast out in the beautiful Florida sunshine ... Hi Ken!!!
Ken and Liz are headed for Universal Studios ..
I think perhaps it's a good thing we got here early ...
WOW .. WHAT LUCK!!! We discovered 3 penny smashing machines as soon as we got out of the parking garage!!!
Look at this crowd .. and it's not even 10:00 in the morning yet!!!
The cars are going upside down .. oh no .. huh uh .. we won't be riding on that one!!!
This is more our speed .. Dr. Seuss Land!!!
Waiting patiently in line to board the Seuss Trolley Train Ride ..
It's almost our turn ..
Yayyyyy .. we are on board at last!!!
We could see this from our seat on the trolley and knew this is where we wanted go next ...
The trolley takes you through a tunnel with all sorts of twists and turns and spins even .. when you least expect it!!! And of course there were Dr. Seuss characters on every turn .. it was hard to get pictures because you were turning and spinning .. but I got a few!!!
Trying to find our way out of Dr. Seuss Land .. and on to the next adventure .. LOL!!
Ah Ha .. maybe this sign will help us!!!
We finally found our way to Poseiden's Fury!!
You aren't allowed to take pictures in here .. but it was AWESOME. You and the group inside with you participate in a drama which eventually leads you to safety!!! Click on the link above and when you are on that page click on VIDEO to see a part of the wondrous things inside!!!
Next adventure .. THE EIGHTH VOYAGE OF SINBAD!!!
This too was a marvelous adventure .. lots of action ..lots of smoke .. LOL!! It is actually named THE EIGHT VOYAGE OF SINBAD .. STUNT SHOW .. and these performers are amazing in the stunts they perform as hey put on this live show!!!! Click on the link below then click on VIDEO CLIPS to watch a part of what we watched .. AWESOME!!!
Things calmed down a little after our adventure with Sinbad .. we made our way to ...
THREE BROOMSTICKS RESTAURANT
Too many people waiting in line .. we decided to venture on!!!
Leaving Hogsmeade .. I loved the buildings and the setup but was a bit disappointed that we never came across any kind of performance or activity relating to Harry Potter and Hermione and the rest of the characters!!!
As we were about to leave there was a group of young people ending some kind of performance in this area .. but we came by just in time to see them say their goodbyes .. there would not be another showing for 2 hours. It has also started to rain .. just a light mist but nevertheless .. rain .. so we left Hogsmeade.
There was a tremendously long line waiting to get into the Hogwarts Castle Forbidden Journey Ride and we chose not to wait .. click on the link below to see what we would have seen had we waited ..
JURASSIC PARK DISCOVERY CENTER
We didn't take the Jurassic Park River Adventure Ride either but I thought you might enjoy the ride .. click on the link below and off you go!!!
If you got all wet from one of the water rides .. or the misty rain we were having through the afternoon .. you could stop at this people dryer and get dry for $5.00!!!!
Gasoline Alley is actually a bathroom .. and of course we made a pit stop there .. LOL!!!
We were on our way out but we stopped by some of the shops in Toon Lagoon and did a little souvenir shopping!!
Do you remember what is says on the entrance side of the bridge at the very beginning of this adventure??????
Two pooped out oldsters heading for the parking garage after a day of fun at Universal Studios!!! How wonderful that they have moving sidewalks to get you there .. we needed it .. LOL!!!
Before leaving the park we stopped at a Starbucks Coffee stand and got Coffee and Cinnabons to enjoy as we made our way down the highway to our next stop ... hopefully a RESTAURANT!!!!
I'm happy to say we found a Cracker Barrel in Belleview, Florida and stopped there and enjoyed their delicious Meatloaf dinner before traveling on to Ocala, Florida where we would spend the night at Days' Inn.
