First Morning Sunday May 20th
Got to Hard Rock Hotel about 8:50 and pre checked in. Got our room key card for FOTL and hit IOA by 9:20. DD was the only one of us whod been to IOA before and she wanted to go to . Seuss Landing first!! Shes 15 but still a kid at heart like her mama! Rode Cat In The Cat very cute. Looked around and then crossed back over to Super Hero Island and rode Hulk. It was a great, great ride and I loved it but it made me and DD feel sick. She got over it quickly I didnt! We had cokes and sat around for a while and then went to Spiderman. I was sooo looking forward to this one but about halfway through I started feeling bad again and for the first time in my life I got sick on a ride! Luckily I was on the end and no one knew until it was over! There was a very nice character I really dont know who when we got off that let us go in the employee break room and clean up in their bathroom. I guess Ive just gotten too old! I love these rides, but they dont love me! What little I registered of Spidey was really awesome and DH loved it. I think I would have been okay on it if I hadnt already felt bad from the Hulk. So we walked quickly through Toon Lagoon and went to Jurassic Park and ate at Thunder Falls Terrace. Had really good rotisserie chicken and watched the drop off for the JP River Adventure. Felt much better by this time and so DH and I did the River Adventure DD doesnt like water drops and didnt want to get wet!! It was a cute ride and we got pretty damp on our top halves! Walked briefly through the Triceratops Encounter very good for little kids, didnt really do much for us! Although from the questions I heard an adult ask I wondered if they thought it was real! Then went on to The Lost Continent and saw The Eighth Voyage of Sindbad it was a very good show. Lots of good stunts, but funny too. Actually got DD to sit in the Splash Zone but it wasnt toooooo wet! The actors were all very good and had their timing down well. After the show we went to Mythos and had desserts. It is a beautiful restaurant! We all were very pleased with our choices. I had the crème brulee, DH the taste of chocolate and DD a pastry stuffed with cheesecake and sprinkled with cinnamon and ice cream on the side. Went back to Seuss Landing and walked through the If I Ran The Zoo interactive area it was cute but kind of hot even in May! They did have lots of water to play in though. Then went back to Super Hero Island and rode Doctor Dooms Fearfall. Its bark is worse then its bite. It was really kind of pleasant to me! By then it was 3:00 so we went to hotel to check in.

FOTL absolutely awesome! We waited in line only to buy our passes other then that we just flashed our cards and walked right up. It was soooooo great. I dont think I can stand in a line again after that. I especially loved going up to the line attendant and theyd start to point to the regular line and youd show your card and they would be Ohhhh, please go THIS way like you were a star or something. I ate it up!
Thanks to these boards!! we got the Florida Lotto deal! We got a 2 day park hopper for the price of a one day ticket simply by buying a Fame, Fortune and Adventure ticket for each of us and as usual getting a losing ticket! And then we gave them that along with our GA ID. This is for FL, GA and AL residents only through 6/30/01. That saved us about $110.
This park is beautiful. You really have to see it to appreciate how every area is themed so perfectly and how absolutely gorgeous it is. Port of Entry is just enchanting and really gets you jazzed for whats to come!
Minuses
The only minus I have is that hardly any of the food or beverage places were open before 12:00! The places at Port of Entry were open, but we went past several ice cream and snack places that werent open and several fast food places and restaurants. The Sneetches ride was never open, I didnt notice until later that its not listed on the map so I guess its never open? But they should list that at the front along with Poseidons Fury.
To be continued - I've got to go to bed!!..........
