Universal Studios

Universal Studios and Universal Islands of Adventure were so fun! 

Some of our favorite rides included: 

Spider Man

Dueling Dragons

MIB

ET
Transformers
Dr. Suess Carousel

Sophie loved Seuss Landing the best.

The girls loves herself a carousal. She rode it 3 times with my Mom while the rest of us rode the Dr. Doom's Fearfall.

Ted was a complete champ with the roller coasters - he loved them all. I honestly wasn't sure about it. Here they are with Dr. Doom.

Harry Potter world was fun for the atmosphere, butter beer and the family roller coaster. Sophie was NOT a fan of the big Harry Potter ride. It was a little dark for her. But we loved the smaller family friendly roller coaster.

The Harry Potter train from Islands of Adventure to Universal Studios was really cool. You ride from one park to the other - from Hogsmeade to London. It was super cool.

Universal was totally about rides and we hit them hard. We were exhausted at the end of first day. My mom spent the day with us and had a room right next to ours. Sophie stayed with her. Honestly, when you live in a hotel room for 2 weeks, thinking of adding a second rooms seems more and more appealing. It's fun for the kids to go back and forth and gives everyone a little extra space. I was thankful the kids were so exhausted. If you've ever shared a room with Ted he requires total dark and total quiet. Thankfully everyone just got in bed every night and passed out. Day 1 = bring on Day 2!

Tomorrow: Hollywood Studios
