Hey everyone! Finally checking in!
We have been having a GREAT time so far.....my only complaint, as it is for most of us, is that time is going by WAY too fast. I cant believe we will be heading home in just a couple more days.
Universal has been amazing and it's been so good to be back. The Marvel dinner was fabulous with surprisingly great food and spectacular character interaction. Crowds have been pretty low (Monday was the only day that felt busy-ish, but that's only if I'm being SUPER picky) and we've met 40 different characters so far without hardly trying. I've stretched my boundaries a little and rode the Mummy (OMG!!!) and we've managed to find pretty decent meal options for Steve, even with his dietary restrictions.
SeaWorld's Seven Seas Food Festival was excellent and a great way to kick off our trip. Sesame Street land is super cute, and we got the chance to meet Elmo and Cookie Monster while we were there.
The weather has been hot and sunny for the most part, save for a couple of wayward thunderstorms that blew through on Saturday and Sunday. Since it's been so summer-like, we squeezed in a part day at Aquatica on the last day of our APs. We have managed to cover a lot of ground since we arrived on Saturday!
Today is our Disney day, so after breakfast at Boma (so awesome) and a tour of Disney Springs, we will soon be heading to Magic Kingdom for their After Hours event. It's been threatening storms for the last few hours (dark clouds and rumbling off in the distance while the sun still shines overhead) but hopefully they just blow right on by. It's not sold out so far, so hopefully its SUPER low crowds and we can finally get on the 7 Dwarves Mine Train! Can you believe we STILL have never been able to experience that attraction??
Capones dinner and show was last night, and was a wonderful experience once again. Great food, great fun, and the most excellent of seats! I was able to get some pretty awesome photos since we could have literally reached out and touched the performers.
Notable things yet to do are Blue Man Group (tomorrow) and the minions breakfast (Saturday). We have a Groupon for the Characters in Flight balloon but it's been so breezy that I'm doubtful that will happen....but hey, ya never know. Fingers crossed that perhaps tomorrow is a little more still.
Anyway, just wanted to check in and say hi while I had a few free minutes. Thank you all for still hanging in here. I vow to finish the October tri OP report when I get back and settled in!
