WDW vs. Universal: Jaws vs. Jungle Cruise-Updated 12/2.11

December 3rd, 2011 · 1 Comment

This entry is part 10 of 11 in the series UOforWDWfans

For this week’s comparison, we are going on a boat ride.  The captain narrates the tour, and it’s kind of dated0eeling.  It was an opening day attraction. I’m talking about Jaws at Universal Orlando. Much like the Jungle Cruise, while I find the ride itself pretty dull, the theming around it is pretty cool.  See [...]

Harry Potter trip report-Sunday morning…

September 25th, 2010 · 2 Comments

My alarm went off.  I dressed myself in my “Muggle” shirt.  I went down to the Orchid Court lounge and grabbed a cinnamon bun-it was good.  I headed onto the walk to Citywalk, which was empty as all get out.  I was meeting M at 7:15, so I waited in a chair at Margaritaville.  She [...]

Wizarding World of Harry Potter Trip Report-Saturday Afternoon

September 18th, 2010 · No Comments

My dinner decision was based in a very logical, responsible choice:  Bob Marley’s was celebrating Jamacian independence day.  In my handy Citywalk party pass brochure, it indicated that this included $4 Bacardi drinks.  I boarded the Water taxi.  There was kind of a wait-your on-site hotel key pushes you up in line.  I headed over [...]

Universal Orlando Trip report Day 2

September 10th, 2010 · No Comments

I woke up early, and headed to ride the Mummy. Even with my earplugs in, it’s a little loud for me. I then had my fortune told by someone in the New York area. I then headed onto the Horror Makeup Show, which was great as always. I was hungry-I quickly learned that 10am-ish there [...]

This post is part of the Disney Blog Carnival. Go check it out! Based upon the awesome Betamouse Podcast, I thought I’d discuss the techier side of Universal Orlando.  Universal Orlando recently took down their mobile site, so I found that the Android App Ridehopper to be my only option.  I’ll review RideHopper more in [...]

Wizarding World of Harry Potter etc.: win, fail or meh

August 15th, 2010 · No Comments

Woohoo!  I am home from my Wizarding World of Harry Potter trip!  I have a bunch of posts to come up, but I figure I’d start things off by taking a page from Betamouse’s book and play “win, fail or meh.” Win: Wizarding World: The theming of this area is beyond reproach.  The touch of [...]
