What you think does matter

As a parent I think - kids are just punishing us for what we did as children ....lol Now with that said - here I am measuring my kids hieght, wondering if my efforts in planning for a great family dream vacation will be crushed if my son is - to put it mildly "short". You know - who really thinks about hieght when your planning a trip to some theme park... Ok, yes I've been to Walt Disney world, magic kingdom, Universal Studios - I know some of the rides have hieght restrictions. But Really, I don't think of that until I've already paid and I'm walking thru the park to get on that spicific ride I've heard of. I really hate it when my son has to sit it out - becuase he is... um ... short. So while I was doing my reasearch trying to choose between "Walt Disney" or "Universal Studios" - I noticed that all the cool rides at Universal Studios Island of Adventures have hieght ristrictions. Check it out: Universal Studios Florida Revenge of th...

Universal Studios Florida - 2 day pass You know, it has always been my experience that all these theme parks - including universal studios, are fun to go to but expensive as hell. That's why I guess I like going back for the free second day. Yes I know that it's not really free. You still have to pay for the parking and eating at the park is expensive as well. But it offers you something special. I don't know about you but when I visit universal studios or for that matter Walt Disney world or any theme park - I am always pressed for time. I spend most of my time rushing to get to the next ride because I feel the need to ride all the rides so I can have a sense of - "getting my monies worth". Funny thing is you rush to get to the next line only to wait 45 to 50 minutes on the line into the ride.... That's why I love the second day free opportunity. I go on all the rides on the first day make as much as I can out of it - then on my second day - I go on the rides...

We went to Universal Studios with the kids - it has changed alot since the last time I was there - I hate the entrance to Universal Studios [ Florida ] - love the preferred parking [ though it cost $17 bucks ] and love what they've done with most of the park at Universal Studios. They've changed the earthquake ride [ atleast the intro - but the ride itself is still the same. They got rid of the back to the future ride and put in the Homer Simpson ride - but all in all - nice place to take the kids]... Oh, just be prepared to spend lots and lots of money - a six slice whole pizza at Universal Studios with four drinks and 2 cookies cost me about thirty bucks - and I had to go back and buy two more slices at $3.99 a piece... boy do these kids have to cut down on eating when we're at this park.... Another surprise - go to the universal studios group ticket booth to buy your entrance ticket - it took me all of five minutes to buy my tickets and enter the park.... while I walked ...
