Well, I'm back from a Galaxy Far, Far Away. And it was AMAZING!
I'm still working up my photos and everything, but I will probably post them on this thread this week! And I can't wait to head back to Batuu on Saturday for another round!
Ah man, I would love to ride that one someday. I need to borrow a random kid someday.
If I had a kid, I could probably pay off my park ticket just renting him/her out at the entrance to the Flyers!
Ugh I quoted a bunch the other day and lost it all! Anyway as a true non-Universal fan I do have to say the event does look fun! I may even do it if it ever corresponds with one of my Disney visits.
I always forget about the Mummy! I do like the Hulk but I think the Mummy is my favorite Uni ride
Most definitely give it a try! It really improves the experience when there are no lines and free food/ice cream! I don't think it changed my opinion enough to make me want to give up multiple Disney days to do USO, but I will probably do a day here or there.
I know I'm watching the thread, but I don't know if I told you Lesley. If I didn't, I am. If I did, in the immortal words of Rosanne Rosannadanna....NEVER MIND.
Also, if I didn't already say, it was great meeting you.
Welcome! And it was nice to (briefly) meet you!
Two things
Teach them people to get out of your way when you're going to Disney.
I never have understood why it takes people so long. Find your seat, put your carry on in the bin and sit down! It ain't rocket science people. Same for getting off the plane. How it takes people so long to stand up, get their luggage from the bin and leave the plane I just don't understand. Grrrr!
UGH! I know! Seriously people - be prepared!
That's very cool. You obviously were flying in from the South. Only way you can get those pictures. Most times the planes are landing from the North and while one can see (from the right side of the plane) the area where Disney is, not normally well enough to make out parks or resorts.
Cool (and GOOD) photos!
Yeah, I don't know if I've ever flown in from the South before! It was definitely a nice surprise!
Where did you fly out of? LAX? it seemed like you had a non-stop flight, but I didn't know there was a 7AM non stop out of LAX. We stopped flying American about 2 years ago when their FF miles became ridiculous for our manner of flying.
It was American. They have an earlier morning flight (advertised around 8am) which I've booked the past several visits. In December, that flight was changed to an hour later, which was annoying, but better than other options. For February and May, it was changed to an hour earlier, which sucks for leaving, but is nice for arriving earlier and getting more Orlando time. I'm booked on that 8:10am flight again for this upcoming December, so we'll see if it the time changes!
That event sounds like a pretty good deal, but I don't know how you stayed up for nearly 24 hours. I would have had to fly in on Friday to do that event. Then again I'm a bit older than you are!
I don't know either! At least I crashed to bed quickly!
I am definitely going to check out the next OI event. And even without a special event, you’ve encouraged me to explore all that is Harry Potter.
The speakeasy sounds cool but I’m certain I wouldn’t have figured out the code either.
Think you may be at Galaxy’s Edge as I type.... so excited for you and anxious to hear your thoughts.
Yes, definitely check it out! The next event is in December, so there will be the Christmas stuff up too!
You got so much done during the OI event! My sister and I are hoping to make a trip down for the December one.
Oh man that's frustrating! That's one of the things I'm looking forward to most during the event!
Fingers crossed you guys get on the ride! Make sure to get in line very early for it!
