Sorry we got home just before midnight last night so I was too tired to write up my report! This was our 2nd day at Universal and our last park day this holiday.
We got up early and arrived at Universal around 9.30am parking in the disabled parking lot.
We were through security quickly and passed by all the folks taking photos outside the park as we took ours last week. ... |

Just like last Monday we were woken around 7.30 by the gardeners. It was a good wake up call as we had a full day & evening planned at HS, starting with the Frozen sing a long. We actually took our time getting ready and got one of the last disabled parking spaces near the front of the park around 11am.
We wanted to fit in 3 shows- Frozen, Beauty & the Beast, Indiana Jone... |

Today was our day trip to Daytona, namely to visit the Speedway and to watch a baseball game.
We left around 9.30 and arrived at the Speedway just after 11am and got tickets for the 12noon 90 minute tour. This was $88 for the 4 of us. We browsed the shop while we waited for our tour and the kids bought some toy cars, pin badges and a t-shirt (just $5 as it was from the Co... |

The night before I'd already moved our first FP (Thunder Mountain Railroad) to a later slot. This morning DH wasn't feeling that great and we were on a go slow, so I moved our morning FP for Peter Pan's Flight to 3.40 in the afternoon. I knew this would mean zip-zagging the park but meant we could still do the rides we wanted.
We took our time getting some breakfast & get... |

Not many photos today, sorry! We got up a bit later and spent the morning in the pool. DH finally joined us using the pool hoist and agreed we were telling the truth about how warm the water was!
Quick snack after we all got out before we headed to the converse outlet along the 192. |

Woke around 8 this morning and decided to move our first fastpass to a later time so that we could have a relaxing morning. This meant swimming & breakfast by the pool before getting ready and leaving around 12 to head for Magic Kingdom via the gas station- just $32 to fill up.
Harris has swimming lessons but isn't the most confident- however today he was enjoying underw... |

So after deciding last night to have a lazy day we were all woken just after 7am by the gardeners mowing and strimming down the street!
We decided to go back to our original plan and headed off to Universal, knowing we might not get as much done as we would be a bit later than intended.
We got to the park around noon, and it was busy and HOT! |

Up and out by 9.15 after breakfast by the pool again. Stopped at Walgreens and picked up some antihistamines for Harris who had a bit of heat rash on his neck. Got the South Premium Outlets for around 10am and parked easily.

We headed straight for the Safari and it was one of the best we have been on for the amount of animals we saw. |

DH and I both awake at 5am and the kids woke around 6. We headed to Cracker Barrel at 6.40 and had a great first full day breakfast. I took the photo as we left the villa to send to my brother in law to prove that it was warm enough for all of us to wear shorts! |

Through to departures where we chose some magazines in WH Smith & picked up a meal deal in Boots plus some swim tea tree spray!

Welcome!
One month today we are heading back to Florida and to the same villa in Davenport that we loved in June 2014. As soon as we returned we started to plan the next trip- 2 weeks at the start of July in 2016 since our oldest would be finishing her last year at Primary School. When it came to booking it turned out that it was as cheap to extend our holiday to fly bac... |
