    Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith vs The Incredible Hulk Coaster

    That first twist and drop right out of the launch on Hulk is one of my favorite rollercoaster elements.

    Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure vs Space Mountain

    There is no contest. SM is old and under themed. Not even close.

    How bad will President's Day week be? (Feb 18-22)

    It depends. To me it is not bad with express. We’ve gone Thanksgiving week many times and we were there the first week of Jan this year which was very busy because FL schools were still off from the holidays. I would never go to Disney at those times. And the first day this past trip we were at...

    Hagrid’s EE Timeline - Busy Day

    This was walking from the resort, yes. I think the boat security opens a little earlier to get the first boat loaded. The first day we did this (8 am EE), security on the walk from RPR to CW was not open at 7. It was a little after 7 and there was a line. The second day it was open when we got...

    Tip for Vegetarians

    The one at LC is meat substitute and my kids hated it (they eat meat substitute but this is poorly done). The one at 3B is mushroom and Jackfruit. My daughter was skeptical at first but ate it twice and liked it. 3B also has potato leak soup which my other kiddo liked.

    Hagrid’s EE Timeline - Busy Day

    Did it again today. Arrived at 7:10 again. We were actually the 4th-8th people scanned in from our line today. Many people running. Way more than 2 days ago because there weren’t any employees saying otherwise. We got passed by a lot of people. We used lockers We walked all the way to the...

    Tip for Vegetarians

    Some items with meat substitute (my kids both got the pasta ‘bolognese’), tomato bisque, salads without meat (with the price reduction you wouldn’t get by asking them to leave the meat off). I would guess some more complex entrees with more vegetables but I didn’t get more than a glance at it...

    Tip for Vegetarians

    FYI - always ask. Tonight we were at Jakes (at RPR). We had looked at the menu earlier in the day and my 2 vegetarian kids were okay with the only vegetarian entree on the menu (cheese pizza). We arrived, waited for a table, ordered and got drinks, and then when we ordered they told us their...

    Beedle the Bard Shows

    Agreed. Although something is sticking in my head that the person who made them was some famous artist. But then you’d think they’d take better care of them in storage.

    Beedle the Bard Shows

    And I asked today. Fountain of Fair Fortune never came back after Covid because the puppets were damaged while in storage and they don’t want to have new ones made. 😢 Or at least that’s the story the TM told me.

    Hagrid’s EE Timeline - Busy Day

    Last Nov it was down at opening 2 of the 4 days we were there which was frustrating.

    Hagrid’s EE Timeline - Busy Day

    We rode Hagrid’s in EE this morning on a crowded day (still ramping down from holiday crowds). Timeline below: 6:55 Left room at RPR and arrived at the security point before it opened. 7:10 Arrived at the gate before the boats. We were the 3rd people in our line. 7:20 The area between the gates...

    Newbie planning Harry Potter focused trip, no clue what I’m doing

    Just a comment on Bourne - if your husband can watch a regular movie on an imax screen, he should be fine with it. It’s not like an imax specific movie that has point of view shots intended to make you feel like you’re in the movie, A friend who doesn’t do any rides at Universal (motion sickness...

    Hagrids Strategy

    Here now. I would not go to Hagrid’s first thing if you don’t have EE. A half hour into EE to about 10-11 are some of the longest waits of the day. I agree that lunch time and end of night are better times . As far as I know they haven’t closed it early this week. If it were me, I’d do VC with...

    Beedle the Bard Shows

    Has anyone seen the Fountain of Fair Fortune for Tales of Beedle the Bard recently? The last year we haven’t seen it despite watching multiple times. Have they stopped doing it? We’ve only seen The 3 Brothers.

    That is one thing I’ll never understand about FL. It’s hot outside and everyone’s in shorts and they air condition to 60 degrees. You need a sweatshirt for restaurants in the summer.

    Thanks! Mid 40/low 50s is cold for park touring in my opinion. It feels nice just walking the dog for 30 mins but not sustained without a coat (for me at least).

    Are the long pants and sweatshirts warm enough for you? The puffy jackets are coming with us since we need to wear them to the airport but I’m hoping no worse than sweatshirt weather. And maybe gloves and a hat.🤞 I’m sure you’re right on Potter sweatshirts. 😉

    Interesting. I’ve not picked up anything at CW before. I’ll have to look into that. 😭😭😭 🤣 That’s not what I wanted to hear but I know you’re right. Better to be prepared. It’s not that expensive to check a bag. I hate paying for lockers but that makes sense. It would be easier than dragging...
