• Last day at Universal

    May 12 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

    We have been very lucky having all the Universal parks with low attendance and we were able to get on everything and some things a few times. What we also noticed is that there was very little primary and highschool kids and mostly adults and adults families. It was a great time to go.

    We started at Epic to finish Mario as we never got to get to Mine cart madness. Brandon got to do more wand stuff, and then we headed over to Universal so we could finish what we didn’t see and then we finished at island of adventure with everyone finishing off at the VelociCoaster. Inara ended up on it 3 times.

    My favourite experience was meeting toothless from How to Train Your Dragon.

    It was a rainy afternoon but we saw it coming and organised the afternoon around it and into rides that were inside. The rain made the Wizard World dreary and dark so it worked well.

    Brandon got to do most of his wand adventures only missing a few. Some of them took forever as there was lines for the spell or they took a good few minutes to get the spell correctly. It was a highlight for Brandon throughout the visit.

    Inara’s favourite was all three of the roller coasters ; the hulk, veloccoaster and Stardust Racers. Josh enjoyed Hagrid’s ride.

    We had our last walk through City Walk to get back to the shuttle and while we were walking by, there was a large crowd waiting to touch the FIFA World Cup trophy. It was busy!!

    Walked approx 28,000 steps
