I love your trip reports. So much work to get them written up so thank you, I look forward to the next instalment

[ribena]

Love reading your reports! I also felt really sick on the Jimmy Fallon ride and I can do all simulators no problem. Looking forward to the rest of your days.

Another long busy day but some long waits for rides

Such a shame that universal got so busy! I totally agree about the Fallon ride. Damp squib for sure!

Tut tut at A for snaffling your cookie! I know some good lawyers...

So glad you loved the look of Saratoga Springs! It’s going to be amazing being so close to DS! All the blaze pizzas!

AK at night is pretty cool huh? Agree 100% about Everest! Totally different in the dark!

Another wonderful read xxx

I don't even think Fallon would have been any better had we been fans of the show. I don't know if we'll swerve it next year or not, I guess we'll just have to see how it plays out.

Yes, am still narked about that cookie incident. What can I say? The boy loves a biscuit.

So. Many. Blaze. Pizzas. Really can't wait. Stuff the table service plan, we're off to Blaze again.

I am going to spend a whole evening next year just going round and round Everest in the dark I think - I don't reckon the novelty would ever wear off! xx

This was a bit of a manic day really but I suppose we love to keep busy and definitely made the most of the time.

Thank you - hope you had a lovely Christmas too!

Also agree with Everest. We rode at night for the first time this year and I loved it before but it was even better/scarier in the dark!

Merry Christmas!

I was sad about missing out on The Mummy, and, well, most of Universal Studios that day. It was crazy busy. Fallon both confused and nauseated me, which probably was not a good combination.

I really cannot wait to get back there next year and ride Everest at night again. So much fun.

I know, I guess we totally underestimated how busy it was going to be in the run-up to Thanksgiving. At least we got some stuff done in IoA. And yes (spoiler), we do indeed make it back there later in the trip!

The Starbucks queues were longer than most of the character meet ones. It was boggling. I mean, it's nice to have a coffee and all that, but nicer to be on a ride or having a walk around.

Glad you're enjoying the report and thank you for all the comments - I do appreciate it!
