Ooo, that pasta looks good! I need to expand my quick service options at SeaWorld and give it a try (typically I stick to the pretzel kitchen)
Looks like yu guys are having a blast! Can't wait for the next update!
finally caught up!!! yeah for a slow work week!
Seeing the flamingo walk would be worth the price of admission to me alone! How awesome. And I agree on Wild Arctic. I rode it in Sea World San Diego in 2003. Ruined the rest of my day at the park, you would think I would have learned after Star Tours in the early 90s. Simulators and I do not agree.
Does Sea World have a rider switch like WDW? I don't think DD would make the height on the bigger coasters (nor do I think I would want her riding them at 6 even if she did) and DH and I might want to try one if we went there in Nov.
Gina, you should get a job as a sales rep. Your reports have me very close to throwing out any Disney plans for this fall. DD really wants to go to Lego Land and I just can't justify the cost of a one day ticket to MK anymore. Our trip is usually part of a Daytona Beach stay with my grandparents deal and we spend a few nights in Orlando (I hate the stress of driving in). I feel like SW may just be what we need for this "family experience." Love that BTW!!!Plus I feel like after all the bad press SW has unfairly gotten, I need to go there just to support them.
I may mail your son a Penn State shirt. I can't handle all the Ohio State in the previous trip reports. Now I have to convince DH to hit the outlets too!
How great to find Hello Kitty so effortlessly! One of the things I love about Universal is how low-key everything is, especially character meets! Can't wait for the rest of your days' reports...I'm pouncing on them as soon as they are posted
SeaWorld Day 1 was a smashing success! You did so much and didn't even go to a show -- there is a lot to see and do there
Love that you met Hello Kitty just as you entered Universal! I haven't met her yet but she's on my list. I'm not necessarily a fan, but who could resist a photo with that cuteness?!

Hmm, I don't know why that kitty version would have all the hoopla. She looks just like the one I see in our local mall, outside our kitty store. Cute. And so lucky to have no line. Great picture by the way.
And yes the power of the early riser. I love a beautiful early morning to tour the parks. So exited to be back in the parks again this October and during Christmas.
Follow on.......
Back from vacation and all caught up. Sorry about that VIP experience. You're brave for possibly trying it again.
I didn't realize the penguin ride was closed for you trip. It was closed for ours in Feb. and I thought it had reopened in March. We saw a flamingo parade in Busch Gardens a couple of years ago. We even got to feed them back in their pen. The handlers said they were ambassadors and even flew on planes to destinations all over the country.
It really looks like, crowd wise, you picked the perfect time for your trip! Low crowds and good weather so far, thats awesome!
Great time at SW! I can't wait to read more about USO day! Hello Kitty is soo cute, I can't wait for my girls to meet her!

Looks like a lovely start to the day! We will have to give IHOP a try. We have that and First Watch on our breakfast list for October. We don't seem to do a lot of breakfasts at restaurants, instead opting for a quick bite in the room before we hit a park. Our trips as of late have been way more relaxed though and we're all happy to take some time out to enjoy a breakfast or two.
I can't wait to see what Jake thought of the Simpsons area. We think it's very well done. I'd even say it's my kids favourite Universal ride. We all really enjoyed eating at Moe's last year and I thought Disney could take lessons from how the line and seating is set up there. I'm looking forward to heading back in October!!
Waiting impatiently for the Simpsons review! Although I will be steering clear of the sandwich selections
Ooh! I can't wait to see what Jake thought of the giant pink donut! I have to believe one of those was consumed
Maria
Oooh IHOP. Haven't had it in years but excited to try it with my incoming crew. Excited to see Jake's reaction to Simpsons, too!
Hello Kitty is at universal now, huh? My daughter would like that
No Sledge Homer game yet? I figured it had to be coming in this update! Oh well.....I am sure there are plenty of large stuffed animals ahead!
Took me a little while to get caught up again. Thank you for the advice on the character breakfast. My niece is supposed to call today and find out if we can do it on one of our Universal days. I also though I would mention that I have decided to add a Seaworld day to our next trip. We haven't been there in about 10 years and you're making it look very tempting.
I am sure moo moo will find a good home with the minions.
The did a great job with Simpsons area. Like it.
Nice when the park is empty.
I'm surprised there hasn't been a minion adoption yet
No cheese stretching AND no big pink?! Are you sure you guys even went on vacation?!
I love that Jake appreciated Springfield and took the time to really explore it. I have passed by the Duff Topiaries many times, but it was not until I saw your picture how funny they are! I love Universal and Disney so much because it seems like I am always finding new things to appreciate!
Great update!
That Simpsons ride is the worst for motion sickness. It really needs a refurb and a higher resolution screen or something!
