we leave for universal in 9 days! cant wait your trip report is great and making me even more excited for our vacation..looking forward to more
Thanks for your post. It actually gives me a better insight into what to expect on our trip. I definitely want to eat at Mythos now too. I love mythology, and that restaurant looks really beautiful.
ETA: Ya no Ambrosia for me, but maybe DH will be adventurous and try it. LOL! Doubtful, since he is more of a once in awhile beer person. Ha-ha!
All caught up! Loving your TR so far! We just returned from our first trip to US/IOA last week and we had a great time!!! Seeing your pictures is helping me relive my trip
We did not eat at Mythos or go to Poseidon's Fury but did have a funny little session with the talking fountain, lol. My daughter found him quite amusing
Did you guys go on Dragon Challenge? We went on the Blue side. Very fun coaster but we were all a little dizzy afterwards from all the inversions. None of us ever felt sick after doing Forbidden Journey.
I used the Owl Post to send a surprise postcard home to my daughter. I mailed it from Hogsmeade the last day of our trip and it arrived at our house about 4-5 days later. She was so excited when she found it in the mail! It totally reminded her of the fun vacation we had just had and she keeps the postcard in her room
Personally, our family enjoyed Islands of Adventure more than Universal Studios (although we all loved The Revenge of the Mummy!). Looking forward to hearing more about your day at IOA and your trip!!
Love your report. Looks like you had a terrific trip. We're heading out next week for a quick visit with my daughter who works at Universal. So, like you, although we're diehard Disney fans, we will be doing a couple days at Universal. We ate at Mythos last year and loved it too. I had the Risotto of the day and it was outstanding.
Glad that you & mom both got over the meltdown quickly and appreciated each other before it snowballed into anything that would have dampened the day. I appreciate your willingness to share it on the boards also so people can see that a little episode doesn't have to spoil the day.
