Final Day at Universal: pool/resort day

💻 Got up early to book Mickey’s Not so Scary Halloween party tickets for my clients 🎃👻

💦🦆Enjoyed some prolonged downtime at the pool, watching the ducks swim around with the other guests and a black garden snake lounge behind our chairs. The Beach Club lunch was wonderful. 🍔🥗

🍝🇮🇹 Walked over to Portofino Bay resort from Hard Rock to eat at Mama Della’s. Food was great, and we were treated to some opera style singing at our table (requested Andrea Bocelli, of course). This resort is undergoing a major renovation, so when it’s done (likely fall 2024) it will be beautiful! 🤩

🍿📽️ Watched a little bit of Madagascar 2 poolside, then took the ferry over to City Walk to complete our Mini-Golf round. It was a haunted course so we wanted to do this at night. 👻💀

We ended up leaving the hotel around 8:00am to fly out of MCO around 10:45am.

⛅️The weather was absolutely amazing as there was only a minor spotty shower but otherwise bright sun and low humidity. Crowds were very manageable, lower during the weekdays. Highly recommend going in late April/early May to Florida! 🍹

Day 4: Final Fun Day at the Parks 🥳

First stop: Minions for the kids, and Rip Rockit Roller Coaster for me! Nothing like a hard-core adrenaline rush first thing in the morning! 🎢👩‍🎤

Explored the stores on the way to Diagon Alley. The Irish store had some good stuff. 🇮🇪☘️

My daughter was adamant to go back to ride Gringotts because she bailed right before entering the ride vehicle the day before and was sad about it. We ended up getting to ride it twice in a row without needing to get back in line again! Wait times are so low non-existent during May weekdays! 🙌

Explored the HP stores, spent money, perfected spells. Then entered Kings Cross, disappeared into Platform 9 and 3/4, and rode Hogwarts Express on the way to Hogsmeade. 🚂

Rode Hagrids twice using AAP. 🏍️ While we waited we had lunch at Three Bromsticks and kids rode Forbidden Journey. (Ah…to be young and have stomachs of steel) 💪

Wandered into Jurassic Park to explore the “visitors center”, ride Jurassic Park River Adventure, and explore Camp Jurassic. That is a hidden gem…fun to older kids like us! We enjoyed the sq**rt gun area! 🤣🔫

Rode Spiderman and Cat in the Hat rides before checking out the Christmas store. 🎄

Finally, ended the day with a dinner at Margaritaville. Fun atmosphere, great margaritas, okay food. Loved the giant balloon man! 🦜🎈

Day 3: Islands of Adventure park day 🧹

Got up early to take advantage of the early morning entry. Since we had the AAP we did not have to wait in the queue for Hagrid’s Motorbike Adventure, but our time to return was in 90 minutes (the actual wait time was 120 minutes!!) 😰

We pretty much stuck around Hogsmeade, as they wanted to buy wands from Ollivander’s and try them out at different places. 🪄

Forbidden Journey is a one-and-done for me (🤢) but the kids loved it and rode it twice. Rode Hagrid’s 2x. Tried Velocicoaster, but ride broke down before we got to the ride vehicle. ☹️

Took Hogwarts Express back to Diagon Alley, where they tried spells there and rode Gringotts. We were pooped after a long day so we headed back to the hotel and had room service dinner (so good!) 😋

Day 2: We spent our second day as a “resort day”…
💦 relaxing at the Hard Rock Hotel pool in the morning and evening
🍳 enjoying a special Sunday brunch at The Kitchen
🛍️ browsing shops at City Walk
🔐 figuring our clues in a Back to the Future escape room
⛳️👽 playing Sci-Fi themed mini-golf
🍹🎞️ watching a “dive-in” movie at the pool

I find it very beneficial to have rest days planned on vacation. The parks can be very overstimulating so the downtime is needed. 🧘🏻‍♀️😌
