So, I had mentioned before the great, cheap deal that I got from Universal Orlando. I got 5-day tickets for my whole family for $200 bucks total. I thought that was unbelievable, especially because a single day at Disney would cost more than that. I figured there was a catch or I would find out that I misunderstood something. Or the worst, that we wouldn't enjoy Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.I was wrong. There was no catch and the parks were great! I found that one of the best things about these parks is that they cater towards 'beating the heat'. Almost every line for a ride is shaded and there are misters everywhere. There is also a good amount of shade from trees in the parks, in general, especially Islands of Adventure. It's beautifully landscaped and the structures there are pretty too.
John M. was entertained by the Barney show and also liked the Dr. Seuss part of IOA. There are a few really little-kid-friendly areas in both parks which was great. The girls loved the E.T. ride, and Shrek 4-D, as well as the water rides at IOA. We didn't get to ride everything we wanted because we were only there 2 days. The rest of our time was spent doing other things. I'd like to go back and do everything we were interested in.
Here are a few pictures from Universal/IOA:

Sounds like so much fun! I can't wait until we can take a vacation to Orlando. Thanks for sharing all of this because it gives some useful tips for when we plan a vacation to go there. :)
Sounds like a great trip and what a great deal on the tix! I hope to take the girls there in a few years.
Love the pictures! That top one (and the look on the girls's faces) reminds me of lots of pictures of myself at that age, when I was sick of mom taking pictures and the sun was in my eyes. :)
Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. That's great! See you on the 28th for lunch.

I've only been to the MGM Studios in Orlando - I have tickets to Universal... I should use them someday! My oldest is in DisneyLAND right now enjoying Walt's West Coast version. Very cool family memories, I still remember when I went with my parents, I think I was maybe 5.
