Love the pictures, Carol!! Thanks for taking us with you. :)

Mini Golf! :jumpforjoy I hope you remembered to "swing those hips and suck in that gut" :rofl2:

Come on, that is way too easy. It has to be the part where they feature Ricky Bobby! Oh, sorry, I forgot that they don't have any movies from this century. So, I will change my guess. It's got to be t

While at Universal, I saw Terminator, Jaws, Men in Black, and Rip Ride Rockit. I also watched the Macy's Parade.

I only have a few more pictures from the day, as my battery died on me.

At that time Universal closed, but Islands of Adventure was still open for another hour, so I went back over there and tried the Harry Potter attraction again. My thoughts are still almost the same as the first ride. I think it is amazing, technologically advanced, and a totally immersive experience, but like Mission Space, I can only tolerate it every once in awhlie.

I did buy the picture!!

Afterwards, I just relaxed in the area, bought a Frozen Butter Beer, YUMMY!!! and chilled out till the park closed.

Now, getting back to Disney. When you have a Mears round trip ticket, you call the number on the voucher about 2 hours before you wish to leave, and they will give you a pickup time. I had done that.

So I went back out to where I was dropped off and my shuttle arrived shortly.

Some friends of mine were meeting up at the Gurgling Suitcase over at Old Key West, so I had them drop me there.

We spent a wonderful evening with a few drinks, I used up my last counter service meal, and LOTS of laughter and hugs. I took the last boat from OKW over to Pleasure Island, then took a bus back to POP.

It was actually almost midnite when I got back to the resort. I stopped by the gift shop and picked up my purchases from the week and stopped by the front desk to get my bill printed out. My DME pickup was at 3:10 AM, so I actually stayed up, took a shower, packed everything to be left for my driving friends to pick up and take home with them.

The last couple of pics while waiting on the DME Bus.

And that is it my friends. I was able to take a good nap on the DME bus and fortunately, both of my flights home were pretty empty, so I was able to snag empty rows, and get a good bit of sleep on the planes home.

Rick picked me up at the airport and I stumbled through the work day :-)

Thanks for reading, and I hope ya'll enjoyed!!!!

I have been to US a couple of times and I did enjoy it because I like movie stuff.

I love Lucy too!! Trevor is from Jamestown NY originally (as was Lucy) and they have a nice museum dedicated to her there.

I also love the Simpsons and am a little jealous that Homer is holding your hand......DOH! :rofl2:

You are a woman on the go...good job, it will keep you young.

Great report!

NOBODY rocks trip reports like the fiends. :jumpforjoy

When I saw Lady, all I could think was "Thank goodness TCD's barrel painter doesn't have to tackle that!" :rofl2:

:rofl2: !!!!! He wouldn't be finished until 2013 and poor Lady would be a giant blob of FW brown.

I LOVE DR. SEUSS!!!! AND LUCY!!! ;D

We've never been to Universal b/c it's nearly impossible for us to leave our magical place once we are there. However, any park that includes Dr. Seuss and Lucy deserve Kudos!

Love the updates Carol!

Great pictures. I did read all the HP books and have seen all the movies. Any of you who haven't read them do it. The first 3 aer especially good and you have to read the rest just because you get so invested in the outcome.

I just wish they would come out in eformat!!!!! I mostly read on planes, and I read on my phone, which I carry anyway, so don't want to have to keep up with a book!

Well, I feel like I was there so I'll save my money and spend it at WDW instead. :))

The frogs are pretty cute though!

The food from Emeril's looks yummy...BAM! Couldn't resist!

I agree, that's a bad show, couldn't they have done the kiosk after hours? I guess we're spoiled by the Magic.

It was all BAM!! delicious!!

I Love Lucy! Ok that was lame but I really do!! Thanks for the update, Carol!

I Love Lucy myself!!!

Yes it is nice to visit occasionally, BUT until they let me buy multi-day nonexpiring tickets again, don't see it
