View Full Version : MY Orlando review...
ok first I went to Palm Beach and the weather there was misreable! But.. still had a great time went to visit family.. then we drove to Orlando. Took like almost 3 hours lol
We stayed at a hotel called Royal Plaza which is actually closer to Disney World but that was okay because it was only a 15 min drive to Universal which is where we really wanted to go. I booked very late and took a chance with this hotel and was extremly happy! It was under $700 for 3 nights. Service was great rooms really nice! AND it was in walking distance of Downtown Disney although we didnt walk because this hotel offered shuttles to Downtown Disney, and ALL Disney Parks for free
Weather was so gorgeous while we were in Orlando. Sunny and 75 every day :sun
First we did Universal and had a great time there!!! I loved just walking around there it was Hollywood themed... here are some pics
from reading stories about the Mummy ride I didnt want to go on but Deniz forced me and it wasnt that bad afterall I liked it...
outside the ride they had these cool guys on stilts.. (pretty cute too lol)
other good rides/attractions were Terminator, Twister, Shrek lol, Men In Black (loved this one they give you a gun on the ride and you get to shoot aliens I won of course :snobbish)
Universal closes at 6 so after that you can go to City Walk which is literally in front of the park. I agree with Penny when she said she wasnt crazy about it. They have a bunch of restaurants but nothing that I thought was that great. We ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp and that was good but nothing spectacular. They have a bunch of souvenire shops and games to play to win shit. :yawn
The next day we went to Islands of Adventure and I loved this place sooo much!
Its basically broken down into different themes. They had Dr. Suesse which I used to love as a little girl so it was so much fun to walk thru this part of the park
there's also the lost continent which was cool. That park has a huge rollercoaster the dueling dragons which I passed on lol..
then there's Jurassic Park - that ride was fun you get soaked !
then Toon Lagoon with some water rides there. I loved seeing all the cute little shops with all old comics
and Marvel Super Hero Island lol. Which has the Spiderman Ride and omg that ride was so sick!
and just when I think we are leaving Deniz tells me I have to go on The Hulk Rollercoaster :disgusted I stomped my feet like a baby saying I wasnt but he wasnt having it. So I did it and it was by far the craziest ride Ive ever been on in my life. As soon as it starts it literally shoots you upside down it was ridiculous. I prob wont ever go on again but I had to try it once.
oh and btw we must have went at a perfect time because these parks were not crowded at all! We never waited on any big lines so I am happy I didnt get the fast pass which allows you to skip the lines!!
The last day we went to Sea World :heart They have a dolphine nusery with baby dolphines! It doesnt get any cuter than that!!! They also have Dolphine Cove where you can touch the dolphines. We were so close tothem it was fun! They are so friendly! I was pretty suprised to see how many animals you can feed there! They let you feed sting rays, dolphines, sea lions.. it was so much fun!
dolphines..
(and sharks... but hopefully Mia isnt looking at this :spyguy)
OH! and there was this really cool restaurant we are lunch at in Sea World andthe whole thing is next to a huge shark (:spyguy :hide) tank so they are all around you!!! And the food was amazing also lol
the Shamu show was unbelievable!!! Shamu's baby was so adorable! They call it the Believe show lol. You know I def got a shot glass that says Believe on it for Boris!!!
we had a great time at all 3 places! We are going back to Orlando in May /June but going to MGM, Epcot and all those places.

did you get attacked by birds when you were at sea world?
we went, and we bought the fish to feed the dolphins and the sea gulls were on attack mode. it was really scary!
