What a disappointment with the caramel corn. Fresh is the best and I feel like it's one of those treats you only get when you're on a trip, so you want it to be really good!
The NBC Sports Grill's burgers are actually pretty good. Probably a great dinner choice for you guys.
I bet Hulk in the dark was pretty awesome.
An extra 3 months for renewing your APs seems like a decent deal. And how were you guys gonna resist not returning next year for interactive magic fun and refillable icees?
(But in all honesty, it does seem like Paxton loves his trips to Universal, and they always sound fun!)
For the premium price of the refill, it was even MORE disappointing. We'd just recently had an event at work before this trip where a local specialty popcorn placed had been giving away their products and their caramel corn was absolutely delicious and what I was expecting when we got it in the parks. Won't make that mistake again!!
We are simple eaters, so a good burger goes a long way for us!
We have really had a GREAT time on these Universal-only trips, and with our
Disney cruise taking such a big portion of our vacation budget for 2019, it was hard to resist the renewal incentives and knowing we could make a couple of returns to Universal without spending a fortune. It will be tough to adjust to staying offsite with no early entry or express pass, but it's better than not going anywhere at all!
Somehow I missed your last update!
Cute pics with Puss & Boots! Sounds like it was a good morning
I had to laugh at the pic of the kids playing by the pool in the rain. Those poor workers!
Sounds like a great evening. Yay for renewing your APs!
Puss in Boots is one of my favorites, and we always pass him by because DS is not interested, but this time I told him I was meeting characters, dang it! lol It was a very cute interaction too. He plays up his cat instincts well.
I felt so bad for those girls, but they didn't seem to be bothered by the rain! The kids were having a blast with them despite the weather.
Very excited to be making a couple of return trips to Universal this year!!
hat's too bad. Bagged popcorn is never that good.
The only caramel popcorn I enjoyed was at Karmel Kuche in Epcot, since that's pretty fresh, I think.
It really isn't, especially when we had been enjoying the fresh popped butter popcorn that week for a fraction of the price of what we paid for that stale bagged caramel corn. I was really bummed!! I haven't tried any from Karmel Kuche yet, but maybe I'll have to next time we are in Disney for some REAL caramel corn. A local place does some that is really delicious, and it's all I had on my mind when we passed the popcorn cart in the park and I really wanted some! Such a disappointment.
Wow, I'm surprised the games were still going on. Disney shut everything down back in August if there was a sniff of rain - or more importantly lightening - in the area. I bet the kids had fun playing in the rain though.
That's kind of crazy that they would shut everything down just for rain?! Lightning...definitely understandable. The kids were having a blast and barely seemed to notice the rain. I mean, I guess they were already soaking wet from the pool so what's a little more water? lol
Interesting, I haven't heard much about that place. It's good to read a positive review on it.
I had a really delicious chicken mac & cheese dish last year, and they offer a lot more than just burgers, but they really hit the spot that night. Sometimes you just want a good burger!
