Day 6
Up at about 7ish this morning for the usual caffeine pick me up courtesy of Dad (well it would be rude not to accept the offer wouldnt it?). After last nights dinner we both didnt fancy breakfast very much so decided after matching shorts to top to baseball cap to head on over to Universal Studios and activate the Annual pass yessss!
The I4 wasnt too bad and off at Junction 30a I think to Universal. Parked in Spiderman after being pointed in the wrong direction by a Cast Member and walked through Citywalk to the good, old Universal Studios. Have to say that I just love hearing the sounds and music played over the speakers on route.
Once inside, headed over to the back of the park to ride Back to the Future, still a good ride but these days its way too bumpy and shaky, needs a complete revamp in my opinion. Afterwards, saw Doc Brown explaining to a young couple how the flux capacitor works in the Deloreon.
Had a venture into the World Expo and ended up joining Will Smith on some sort of ride (ha ha) but cant really remember a lot, something to do with a neuralisor lol. Did remember to push the red button and scored about 300,000 points, Dad didnt but we did it twice more in a row
Wandered over to Amity and took a little boat trip youll never guess what we saw, a SHARK! Got a lot wet but promised the guide that we wouldnt say anything about the shark so dont tell anyone will you? Did it again just to be sure that we werent seeing things, no we werent!
Had a coffee and a cake at Boardwalk Funnel Cake Co as we were feeling peckish at this point.
Then we took a tram ride but oh my goodness, theres a giant gorilla there. We survived but boy was it close.
Thought wed calm down by taking a subway ride but should have known something was up by the name Earthquake. Ive never seen a place like this LOL..
After that, we saw a strange character, the ghost with the most, Beetlegeuse hanging around the New York library. Wondering what he was up to (nothing good, you can imagine), we heard a siren and Ecto1 came skidding to a halt and out popped the Extreme Ghostbusters. I have to say that the show was superb as they get turned into their worst nightmare by the big B, I wont say any more except to say that I got some great photos.
Feeling peckish again, we ate at the Monsters Café, excellent scenery but for the life of me I cant remember what we ate, although Im sure Dad had some sort of soup, hes addicted to the stuff.
Spent some money in the shops and got the paper Annual passes exchanged for the plastic photocards.
Back to base via Walmart and more provisions, lemon beer and more potato chips.
Had a quick shower each, watched some tv and then headed over to Bob Evans for some dinner, chicken and wildfire sauce. Back to base again, a little tv, some buds and a time to fill out the postcards I bought.
NB: Quick tip, buy your stamps at the Post Office, theres one on the Orange Blossom Trail near Costco and one in Celebration you only pay the face value for the stamps.
