Florida Vacation - Day 12
Our vacation is almost over.
Today, my sister got her wish and my parents and I went to Universal without her. And we actually got to the park so early that we had to wait for some stuff to open; like rides and various shops. I had my pic taken with Fiona, Shrek and Doc Brown from Back To The Future. And then we caught a Blues Brothers show at 11am, took some pix with these Egyptian type characters, went on Terminator 2 3D and then caught the Beetlejuice Revue show again. This time, we were able to stay back and I got my pic taken with the monsters and Beetlejuice and his cheerleaders. Not that long after, we found out that the Jaws ride still wasn't working, but I wasn't too upset about that. lol. We looked around the MIB gift shop, but didn't go on that ride. We had lunch at this 50's style diner near the front and then my mom decided to go on the Simpsons ride again, so my dad and I went to check out this Horror Movie Make Up shows. It was pretty interesting and really funny. Once we all met up again, we slowly made our way to the park exit and headed over to the other park, so I could ride Flight of the Hippogriff and see the HP attraction one more time. But on our way over, we got slightly distracted by this little bar in the City Walk area having a happy hour, so we call stopped for a drink. Once we got into Islands of Adventure, I made a beeline for Harry Potter, rode the ride (which is basically a kid's roller coaster, but I got to take a picture of Buckbeak :] ) and was able to sit for a few minutes, take in all the scenery and just get goosebumps like crazy while listening to the soundtrack that was being played all over the park.
We finally made our way back to the car, but I night was not done then. My sister had wanted to go to a Hot Topic or 2, so we googled a few addresses and headed out, leaving my mom to go for a late night swim since the weather was like 26 degrees at 7pm. lol. We went to the first one and I only picked up a few buttons and a ring and by the time we got to the next, there was only gonna be like 5 minutes to actually look around before they needed to clsoe, so I chose to stay in the car and read instead of being a bother to the employees. We were all pretty hungry by this time, so we went to a Wild Wings that's right by our hotel room. When we were finished, we simply came back her and that brings me to now.
I'm not too sure what's gonna be happening tomorrow. For sure, I have to pack and have a shower at night. My mom is thinking about going back to Universal for half a day and I may join her. I'd also like to hit up Downtown Disney again, but other than that, there's not much else I'd like to do. So, I'll see how our last full day in Florida goes. :]
