The cheeky not so bargain trip! Part 3

This morning we didn’t set an alarm but were still awake relatively early. We checked out and dropped our bags with bell services and walked across to IOA.

 

We actually arrived at 9am – just as the masses were let into WWoHP! We followed the crowd – as we were planning on taking a few more photos and riding the other rides.

 

The line for Forbidden Journey was already 75 minutes when we got there...! We took a quick spin on Dragon Challenge and Flight if the Hippogriff before heading away from the crowds.

 

 

We stopped to get a quick drink and Rob had a cookie as well before we went to Poseidon Adventure. This was quite fun – we especially liked the water tunnel that you walk through!

We took another ride on Hulk – which still hurt my head and somewhere along the way I met Woody the woodpecker!

We were pretty much done with IOA (and I know loads of people will say we missed out a whole bunch of stuff!) so we wandered across towards Universal Studios. We stopped to get lunch at Hard Rock Cafe which was a nice break from the heat.

Into US and I was determined to meet Bumblebee – we got there and Optimus was just starting his set so I waited nearby having checked that Bumblebee was next. About 5 minutes before his scheduled arrival they closed the line for Optimus so I started the line for Bumblebee :)

 

He arrived and I finally got my picture with him (in front of him..!)

We didn’t really feel like revisiting any of the other rides so we went back to the Doubletree (quickly popping back to collect our stuff from RPR).

I was a bit tired so took a nap for an hour or two and then we went back to the Harley Davidson shop to buy Rob his jacket and gloves. It was around $485 for his choices which was excellent value compared to over here!

 

Our plan for this evening was to ride Rip Ride Rockit at night....well you know what they say about plans! We took a quick go on MIB and then discovered that RRR was broken...! We waited until about 8.45 and it was showing no signs of restarting so we went to watch the nighttime show.

The show was ok but not a patch on Disney...! We hadn’t had dinner so grabbed a quick McDonalds on the way back to the hotel.
