Day 6 ~ Universal Studios

Day 6...Universal Studios
Will and Rhett were excited to see Harry Potter!
Since Universal is not a part of Disney, we had to
schedule a bus to pick us up at our resort. It was a
drive to get to Universal...maybe 30 min...(not bad)

Here are our Harry Potters


walking into Universal...restaurants and shops

Of course, our first stop...


The fast pass system is not the same at U.S. as
it is at Disney...you have to purchase it and we
did not think it was a good investment.
So our first ride was in the castle!
I think we had to wait about 30 min.
(not too bad because when we got out, there was
a 1 and 1/2 hour wait)

another ride that Jeremy and Will rode

waiting



You see Will's hat? Really...it is Rhett's but
we wanted Will to get to ride this ride...he
wore Rhett's hat like this until he passed the
measurement test!
(doesn't he look like a farmer)

walking into the castle




some of these portraits talk


Child switch waiting room...Rhett watched some
of Harry Potter and Mimi was talking to some
girls who just got off the ride...Mimi decided it
was not for her. When Will got done riding with
Jeremy, he decided he did not want to ride
it again...so Jeremy rode it with me!


This section was packed...and it is not very big.
Everyone had told us to try the "Butter Beer" but
the line was so long...so we passed it up.

Frog Choir

on our way to Seuss Landing


Here we go, go, go, go on an adventure...

Rhett loved this ride!

Mimi did too!

Rhett even wanted to hold one hand up like on a
real roller coaster!

The ride took you through Seuss Cafe.

onto the carousal

and then to a ride that gets you wet

Mimi and I were up for it so Daddy took pics!


Dora and Jimmy Neutron

streets of Hollywood

Barney


Fear Factor

just like the show

Woody Woodpecker

For MawMaw...do you see Will?


surfing

Busy day!
Mimi was out on our ride back to
the resort...

and Rhett too!

Will had been wanting to get a carricature
drawn so we did it when we got back to the resort.
Jeremy starting talking to the artist and found
out he was an animator for a number of Star Wars, Pixar and Disney films.


Such a fun day!

Man, we enjoyed our vacation soo much!
But after you leave Disney you need another vacation
because you do not relax...it is go, go, go!
We are so glad Mimi got to experience it with us!
I know Will and Rhett will remember this forever!
(and we will too)
It is soo much fun making memories!
Can't wait to go on the Disney Cruise...one day!
