loving your report and pictures!
How great is this!? Also...good tip... haha
Oh my goodness! This could have been bad! That's a little worrisome that she just really thought that was right and she was being helpful...good thing everything got straightened out and you knew better than to believe her!
Haha oh well! Good on him for trying it and doing okay even if he wasn't a fan. You win some, you lose some.
Oh good little hack! Glad you didn't end up having to wait!
I'm going to have to remember this! We never did figure out how to cast spells properly and eventually we just gave up.
I always mean to watch some of these shows in the HP areas but I never do. I'll have to make an effort this next trip.
That's so cute! And so in character for him!
Yay for DS! I distinctly remember being really freaked out before my first time riding this as a kid. I was about 10 years old and a big old wimp, and the line had stopped moving for a while to fix a ride issue. But I ended up loving it! Glad your DS gave it a thumbs up—it's a great ride.
Well I am finally here!
Glad all your travel went smoothly!
That was a great incentive for DS. I'm glad his behavior improved so much!
Even though you left early, it sounds like it was a successful MNSSHP! Great photos!
What a great first day at IoA and Universal! You guys really got a lot done. That's awesome that DS loved Forbidden Journey!
Those early morning pics at Universal are awesome! Man that TM was pretty misinformed about Early Entry that day!
DS is so cute with his wand!
Glad DS enjoyed the Mummy, one of my faves too!

For a show that has 600+ episodes, it still boggles my mind that the loop of clips they show is only maybe 7 minutes long.
both he and DD are obsessed with watching The Simpsons. I'm still not sure how I feel about that...

DS really enjoyed the boat with all of the water guns and sprayers while DH and I relaxed in the shallow end and watched him.
What a fun afternoon so far! I love that Thing 1 sat next to DH!
Haha I feel you there. I was never allowed to watch The Simpsons as a kid, but a lot of my friends did. They didn't seem to end up any worse for wear. And my husband loves The Simpsons. But I think I'd still be a little hesitant to let my kids watch it.
It's such a pretty pool! I don't typically swim all that much on vacation, especially in the winter, but I really liked this pool when we were there!
What a cute show in Seuss Landing!
Your DS is like my DD when it comes to rides. She's hesitant and worried, but usually loves them when she gets on them. Last year, if we would have let her she would have rode BTMRR continuously. And she loved the orange side of Mission Space. I'm hoping to get her on RnRC and Everest this next trip.
Your kiddo could not be any cuter. Enjoying reading along!
After another fun ride, we were ready for some dinner, so we went over to our favorite eatery, the Three Broomsticks! There was a bit of a line to get in and order, but not terrible.
Spider-Man very animatedly asked him, “You can FLY?! Can you teach me how to fly?” Then went into a semi-long tangent about how he has to keep slinging his webs to kind of fly, but he has to keep doing it or he’ll hit the ground…SPLAT. It was really cute and funny!
All caught up on a bunch of updates. Looks like a really fun time. I think this is the first TR I've read where Universal looks appealing to me - and I think a lot of that is that you are able to bring DS on the rides instead of endless child swaps. It's on my radar more for future trips now. Oh, and that chocolate place and your shake look amazing!!
I have been staring at the Marmaduke picture and I can NOT figure out how your son posed for that. I'm sure it is head-slappingly simple, but do share!
Suess Land is clearly a photographers' dream with those colors. I love it!
Cute! This is such a cute little trolley ride.
I'm a big fan of Three Broomsticks! Sounds like a nice meal.
How awesome! Great character interaction here! Too bad you ended up missing out on the video, but the pictures are great
I love the Trolley ride!
Love the pics of DS with Spiderman, sounds like it was a great meet!
Cute pics with all the photo ops at the end of the night. Bummer about Kong being down!
Ooooh!!! I see! Thank you for sharing that.. I was going a bit nuts trying to figure it out!
