Coming up Still Day 2: Islands of Adventure

"Lets get Soaked on Popeye"


So its now about 1:30pm and we are off to Islands of Adventures. We were also very hungry and according the DisBoards alot of people said Mythos is a great place to eat ..So of course walked on towards IOA and had our eye and tummys set on Mythos. We exited the Universal park and walked towards IOA! We saw the NBA Place...it looked soo much fun but no time to stop there because we had to get moving towards the next park. It continued to be a beautiful day and hot enough to go on the water rides.

If I was on a basketball team I think I would want him on my team! right? lol
I couldnt tell if NBA City is a restaurant/shop? Im not sure.


I seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it! Were almost in IOA!

Yay were here! I cant wait to ride the hulk. Scott was ready to get in and eat lunch.

I got in the quicker line and pushed in my ticket with my finger print. Here comes Scott....Ok lets go we need to eat lunch and get some energy to finish the day right?!

Before lunch I saw the cutest little shops and I had to take a picture...The Fuge Shoppe!

We kept on walking as I took some more pictures. Scott got a map and tried to find Mythos.

The entrance into the park is soo nice and vibrant it is such a beautiful place. So much to do and see!

As I am taking pictures, Scott comes up and shows me where mythos is...Of course we were near it.

The Xmas shoppe...I wanted to buy some ornaments there but for some odd reason I never did.

So mythos wasnt near by and we were getting hungry so we said whatever we find closest we will eat, it was getting too late as well.

We found the HULK! Scott was already getting a bit nervous about going on. But we did make it through ok!

We are ready to eat lunch...so no more pictures. TIme to find a place to eat. It was very difficult for us because we werent sure of where to eat for lunch.


COming up
Still Dat 2: Lunch Time

"This is not that tasty!"

(more of my tr will be on its way by tomorrow)

Thank You!

Still Day 2: Lunch Time

"This is not that tastey"


So we headed to Marvel Land, I think thats what its called, I cant remember lol. But its the land with spiderman and all the other guys. So we saw a pizza place there and walked in, it looked like a middle school cafeteria because it must have been a day for field trips because it was a bunch of kids eating pizza. So scott said he didnt want to eat there. We kept walking and found a burger/chicken tenders/fries place and decided to eat there. I wanted the chicken tenders and scott got a chicken sandwhich. As he was ordering in the super long line, I went out to get him some beer at an outside stand. It was also a super long line for beer lol. As I waited in line I took some pictures of the hulk.

I felt like i was in a middle of a comic strip. I love it.

The menu was that exciting. We werent very thrilled with the food here,

Waiting in line for scotts beer, I tried to get the hulk coming out of the tube but my camera got it a bit late.

Finally after 10 minutes of waiting I got Scotts beer, Coors Lite. I went back to the counter service place and we were sooo hungry and ready to eat.
We were very dissapointed. My chicken tenders hardly had any chicken in them, it was practically just fried crumbs. Scott wasnt liking his sandwhich. Oh well, next time we will plan a better lunch. We sat a relaxed a bit to digest before we head on some rides.

It looks good but it wasnt the best. The only thing that wasnt that great on the trip. But thats OK!

So after lunch we decided it was sooo hot outside and we needed to cool off. Scott was so excited because he was ready to ride some water rides. We walked towards the Comic Strip land...the morning funnies

It was time to get wet!!!!!!!!!

I love this place it is so cute. Islands of Adventure is soo vibrant and colorful.

We kept on walking and of course I snapped tons of pictures!

I love the tube with water, I made Scott stand under there for a photo. He was telling me to hurry cause all he wanted to do was ride the popeye ride.

Can you tell I was excited to go under? lol

I wish we ate here!

We found our first water ride of the day!

So with our hotel key, once again, we got in the express lane. Now ya know how I told you that you have to put your belongings in a locker before heading on the rides. WELL before we got in line we went to put our bags in the locker, as we did we walked away and I noticed some kids getting in our locker taking something out! I flipped out because of course you carry lots of money and you have your personal stuff in there. I said Scott LOOK! and we went back to the locker and the kids had a backpack that wasnt ours, WHEW! thank goodness..BUT what were they doing in our locker???? They said they left something in there. But when we put our stuff in there I forgot to check if it was empty, but once I opened it with my finger print and locked it. How did they get back in??? I know its really confusing. In the long run I didnt trust my stuff there so i packed my bag under my shirt so the attendant at the line for the ride wouldnt notice. So advice for those using the lockers....check that nothing is in your locker before placing your stuff, then make sure your locker is locked.

As we were in line we were taking silly pictures. We had time to take pictures because the wait was about 15 minutes.

more sillyness lol..I think the heat was getting to us..we definitly needed to cool off!

We look scary haha

A nice guy behind us offered to take our photo. He must have thought we were crazy taking soo many silly pictures.

Our nice photo before we get soaking wet!

Our funny photo as we were dropping.

What a great ride, Scott really loved it and he didnt get soaked at all, but I sure did! This ride was an adrenaline rush for us! Its a MUST RIDE!

Coming up

Still Day 2: Almost to the end

"No Popeye??? What? Technical Difficulties? No way!"

Stay tuned, I hope you all enjoy.

 

[ArelysAdriana]

Be thankful you didn't eat at that pizza place. A friend of mine and I ate there last September during a day trip for my 21st. My pizza was dripping with grease and oil even after I blotted it with about a dozen napkins. We both got really sick .

 

[RAPstar]

I love your silly pictures. It made me giggle.

 

[Cindeegyrl]

Love all the pics! Can't wait for more!

 

[cheetara]

Great trip report so far! I love it and makes me wish I was still there. . .

 

[LeslieR]

It looks like you had a great time! Thanks for the heads-up on the lockers. I'm planning to use a fanny pack (yuck) so I don't have to use the locker...

You should go back soon so you can keep writing trip reports for us!

depending on the TM for the ride, you might not be able to use the fanny pack to prevent getting a locker.

I hope so, otherwise I'll do what Alexis did and stuff my shirt

 

[DisneyFairy66]

Im setting a bad example hahha...But yea I dont think they will allow the fanny pack, but ya never know.. But definitly watch out with the lockers.

Other than that incident we used the lockers for all the other rides and had no problem, we just made sure they stayed locked.

By the way, for those who want me to go again to make another trip report, lol.

We tried making another reservation for this summer and the prices went way up...we got a deal for this trip at 139 a night....now its 189-200 a night. So we will see, Ill definitly let you all know when we are going next. Anyone want to join us?? lol.

Still Day 2: Almost to the end

"No Popeye??? What? Technical Difficulties? No way!"

Since we were still wet we decided to head over to popeye ride. As we walked towards it Scott was soo excited because he was ready to get wet because it was so hot. BUT they had techinical difficulties and the ride was broken! So sad, Scott was dissapointed but there isnt much you can do..So next trip we will hopefully be able to ride it. Then we decided lets head over to jurrasic park ride. We decided to have a snack, we were getting just a bit hungry for like sweet something. We saw a churro stand and decided to get a yummy, doughy, sweet, cinnamony, sugary churro! (did i make you hungry?)lol It was sooo delicious and tastey. I reccomend everyone who goes to the parks MUST get a churro. Its a DEMAND! lol.

 

[DisneyFairy66]

See I think we should have eaten here as well. Next Trip!

I LOVE comic strip land, isnt it cute! I feel like im walking on my sunday paper!

I know I look very scary here, it has been a long and hot sweaty day. But the churro was sooooooooooooooooooooooo delicious.

Scott liked it too. lol Doesnt he look funny!

So after our delicious treat we walked on over to Jurrasic Park. I love this movie as well.

Scott and I were so excited, we didnt get a locker this time because I figured I can just stuff my shirt again lol.

Look how nobody is in the express pass lane. We litterally walked right on through....how great is that??

We bypassed all the other people who have to wait 50 minutes hahahahahahhahah...sorry i know thats mean but HEY isnt it nice to pass them all while their waiting.

We just got in our seats, and I snapped a quick picture, I had to admit I was getting pretty nervous, I know that drop is pretty big.

I took some pictures of the ride, although I put my camera away, I was afraid of getting wet or getting in trouble, since they made sooooo many statements about NO PHOTOGRAPHY!



Coming up:

Still Day 2: More Thrill Rides

"Spiderman, The Hulk, Dueling Dragons..WOOOOHOOO"
