Orlando...It's a wrap

Well we spent 4 fun filled days in Orlando and have since moved onto Daytona Beach. We had a great time in Orlando and we were very happy with our decision to spend time at Universal instead of Disney World. The boys had an absolute blast and want to come back again once they have finished the upcoming Harry Potter exhibit -- due to open next year sometime. And after Connor has grown to a point he can ride more of the roller coasters. We hung out at poolside at the condo each morning and then moved onto either Islands of Adventure or Universal Studios each afternoon so it worked out great. The "favorite" ride was The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman ride...very cool simulator that showed the web slinger going after Doc Oc and his crew. Other favorites were the "Revenge of the Mummy" roller coaster (indoor), this was Ryan's top because he could actually ride it. Cliff, Dixie and I all loved the Dueling Dragons and Incredible Hulk roller coasters. I liked the Dueling Dragons because it was actually 2 coasters in one and it is the type that your feet dangle from...very aggressive and fun. Connor loved the Men In Black ride because he got to shoot aliens...I have to admit it was pretty cool. The Jurassic Park river ride is one not to miss either -- you will have to ask Tara about that one some time. Well have to run. Will post more on Daytona later, but have to tell you that Ryan loves the beach - he is already becoming a boogie boarding pro.
