So the exciting thing about today was that Sara, Alexis and Alex all had the day off too :) So we made some awesome plans.
ART OF ANIMATION OPEN MOUSE
For those of you who don't know, Disney is opening a new resort: the Art of Animation resort. Today they had an open "mouse" for cast members to check it out before it officially opens in a few weeks.
Let me just say, it was amazing. All the rooms were spectacularly themed. There was a Finding Nemo section (first opening) and sections for Cars and Lion King. I don't want to give away too many secrets but it looks like you stepped onto the set of these films. The pools, arcade and themed playgrounds are amazing too.
They gave us these pamphlets that you had to go around and get stamped, and then you got a pin for completing the tour!
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
We then took a taxi to.... cover your ears, Mickey Mouse... Universal Studios!!! It was a total blast! We all got seasons passes because it'll be worth it if you go like twice, no kidding.
We did Islands of Adventure first.
We went on the Hulk (scary upside down roller coaster), the Harry Potter ride in Hogwarts (two times in a row), drank butter beer (yummmm), went on Dueling Dragons (another scary roller coaster) and then walked around a bit before heading to the other Universal park.
Here we went on the Rock'n'Rip It roller coaster or something- TERRIFYING but so much fun. We also went on the Mummy ride and the Men In Black ride.
It was a pretty fun day :) I really like Universal. It doesn't beat Disney for me but it's still a ton of fun and most likely better than the local amusement park. I'm hoping to go a few times this summer for sure!
I'm hoping to go swimming here at Vista tonight... I got a little sun burned today!!
I had fun with these girls today!!
