2015 April Vacation - Orlando, Florida - Day 4:

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS:

Today it rained.  We decided that it would be the perfect day to spend most of our day at the Universal Studios side.  We had picked up some ponchos at Target the night before in anticipation of the rain and a lot of the attractions on this side of the park are indoors!

The plan was to head over to Diagon Alley and hit up the new ride, Escape from Gringotts.  The inside of Gringotts was pretty amazing!  I wish we had a chance to go back before the day was over, but once the rain cleared this part of the park became super crowded!  I could have spent all day just exploring this part of the park, but there are so many other areas to explore we had to move on!

Gringotts Bank in Diagon Alley!

12 Grimmauld Place!

This was so freaking cool!

After exploring Diagon Alley and London, we headed over to shoot some Alien's in the Men In Black Alien Attack!  I was excited that Shaun and Evan gave this ride a try this time.  And as, I suspected, they both loved it!

Then it was time to ride the Revenge of the Mummy!  David wouldn't go on this ride the last time we were there so I was glad this time he tried it.  I always try to explain to them that if it's a ride that I will go on, then it's safe to assume that it's not a scary ride or a ride that is going to cause you to feel sick!  They don't always believe me!

Character sightings!

Finally got my Turkey Leg!

Minion Mayhem was the one ride that always had the longest wait times, but we manged to find a window where we only had to wait 30 minutes.  And of course we had to stop and snap some pictures with the minions after the ride!

Hanging with Shrek!

After we had done most of the rides, we decided to do some repeats.  Some went off to ride the Mummy again, while the rest of us hung out and were able to catch the parade!

Back over to London to get a pictures with the Knight Bus!

Shaun and I in our Harry Potter shirts with the Knight Bus conductor!

We did a few more rides and then got some pictures with Shaggy and Scooby and then headed out to grab some dinner at the Red Lobster!  It was a super fun day!
