Since we were fairly close to Orlando, we decided to take advantage of a discount that my mom gets for Universal Studios through the company she works for and go to Universal. We got 4 free tickets and the rest of them were discounted so it was a really good deal.
Unfortunately, my mom saw Universal this way.
(Lacey's face=priceless)
On Monday morning, my mom was getting up from the couch and hurt her back somehow. It was THE weirdest and apparently most painful thing. (We're talking about a tough cookie-4 un-medicated child births-one of which was 10lbs.) She's tough! But this had her down.
Luckily, they had wheel chairs so she could get around. :-S
Lane was in complete awe the whole time. It made me want to go to Disney World even more!
One of the first things we did was hit Curious George town. How fitting!
She liked it too!
Lane pretty much went on everything. Except he wanted NOTHING to do with Shrek 3D. He is very sensitive to loud sounds. (Even me putting dishes away makes him cover his ears) So he stayed with Daddy while we all went in...even Parker. My Dad was holding her and said she jumped a few times (it really was super loud), but other than that, she just watched in awe.
Other rides he did go on:
E.T. (aka "CD"-what Lane calls it) -He had to sit by himself and be strapped in and he did great. I must admit, even I was a little scared. That was his first ride and I didn't think he would go on another one, but he did.
Jaws-haha-sat between Uncle Yuke and Papa.
Fievals' Water ride-rode tandem with Papa, which made it pretty fast. (top left picture is the TV we were watching as each person got ready to ride. I thought for sure Lane was going to turn around!)
the ride that Lane and Papa decided to wait in line for 20 minutes and then ride on without telling anyone....2 Peas in a POD, I tell ya! We about had the Universal Studios search squad out to help us find them.
Cece and Muggy!
Wanted: MUGGY (with the mug in full affect.)
This was the infamous ride that destroyed Matt's iPhone. It was splat on a platform below. They still went on it twice though.
FYI-Universal will rescue your phone at the close of the park and send it to your house FREE of charge. They're nice like that, even though they plaster signs that say EMPTY YOUR POCKETS
AND have lockers to keep the contents of your pockets safe....ah-em.
We did happy hour and apps at an Irish Pub. There was also a big rain storm during this time so we stayed dry too.
Ty won Lane this blue bear...we call him Bluey.
Brothers!
By the end of the night we were all tired of pushing Nene (sorry Neen's)....lol, but Lane was gung ho!
