SATURDAY OCTOBER 2ND
Another lovely sleep was behind us and it looked another beautiful day outside when we pulled back the drapes. When we are in the other tower, I tend to like the drapes open during the night as I can see the lights of the park, but there wasn`t much out this window, although we could see the Orlando Eye and Funspot which had some lovely lights that kept lit up all night, but not as pretty as the parks.
Breakfast we took our time with this morning, I tried some of the little pastries this morning and they were very nice, some were strawberry and some peach ones too, they went well with the fruit and meat for a change.
The options are nice for breakfast, we never look for a cooked or hot option so it`s ideal for us, having a cooked breakfast is something we have once in a blue moon, so there are lots of choices for us in the morning.
Chatting takes up a lot of our time most days, and in the mornings we always enjoyed chatting to staff and other guests too, some were really lovely and it was nice getting to know them.
Eventually we headed out and decided we`d get the boat and make our way to the Studios and enjoy some time there today. The boat was only a few minutes away and it was nice standing in the shade as it felt lovely and warm outside again. Today was going to be a warm one.
It`s a lovely short ride to the centre of Citywalk and the boats were busy this morning, at peak times they put on extra boats to cover everyone, so you never really wait long.
Citywalk was busy with folks streaming into the park this morning, and there were some filks already leaving.....we did wonder how long we had been talking as we thought it was later than it was with so many folks heading out.
We did stop to get some photo`s from the Photopass guy, something we don`t usually do, he asked to do a couple of things....and one thing I absolutely loathe in a picture......that silly V for peace sign that folks do with their fingers........not quite sure what it is that makes my teeth itch, but I won`t do it. We did get a couple we liked though, even though the sun was in the worst place possible.
We did plan to do Minions this morning, but it was another where the EP line was merged into the regular line. Not the norm and we weren`t going to wait in that line, Minions since they changed it is not worth the wait.
Tom did go on RRR, thankfully he managed to get the front row and it`s never as bad as further back in the cars, he enjoyed it, but wished I`d gone on it with him. It just knocks me a little too much now for it to be fun which is such a shame as it`s a ride I did enjoy a lot. I think Kyle will want to ride it in May for sure so I will probably go on it then, once.
It`s always nice seeing the booths for HHN during the day, they are always well designed but usually there are so many people you can`t get to see them properly, and in daylight you do get to appreciate them. They really had done a good job on the designs this year.
Universal are excellent at decorating the windows as if they were real businesses and they had some very amusing names in some and of course some were nods to real folks who had a connection to the parks in one way or another from the past.
This one always reminds me of our very own Keishashadow.......only because of Boris and Natasha.......
The Film Vault is a lovely little store that stocks all sorts of memorabilia from movies that have been massive such as Jaws, Psycho, Back to the Future and so on and some of it is quite unusual, but the do of course stock the more common stuff too.
I bought this tee shirt for one of my Goddaughters who is a massive fan of Friends as part of her Christmas gifts.
If you don`t know about "Pivot" you`ve obviously never watched Friends. Always orated in the same voice as Ross of course
She loved it!
Delancey Street is one of the busiest streets in Universal, usually, but we`ve been lucky enough to see it on many occasions almost deserted if not completely deserted at times. This is where the Blues Brothers perform numerous times a day and there are often street performers that will come out and entertain too, it is a lively little street at times.
This has to be one of the nicest pictures to go on a bathroom entrance anywhere.
One of the things we do like about Universal, in both parks, there are plenty of places to stop and sit down for a break and catch some water or just rest your legs for 10 minutes. There are seating options everywhere.
Apart from Jimmy Fallon, Fast & Furious ride has to be the biggest disappointment in years to come from UOR. Whoever decided this would be their best option I hope redeemed themselves in some way!! Has to be the worst ride anywhere......
It was a lovely area to enjoy sitting for a while enjoying a drink or two or just getting a break from the HHN crowds.
More to come......
