My Orlando Trip 2013 Vacation Part 1

So i am back from my trip and wow where to start!

In this one i just want to tell you all about one thing , How much i was shocked at how much i ended loving Universal Studios (US) and Islands of adventure (IOA).

So im a die hard disney fan always have been. I have visited US and IOA before and loved but wasn’t blown away until this trip.  Most my time at this trip was spent alone. Since my mom was at a conference.

First off the ticket i got made it amazing !!!! I got a park to park with unlimited express pass. For three days it was 309. Now US people who go alot im sure will think its a waste of money, but for me it worked amazing i would do it agian in a second.

I was able to do everything over and over and not have to stand on lines alone and waste time i did both park FULLY both times i went and got on the rides i wanted to get one with out waiting longer then i would say about 5 minutes.  There parks are defiantly more RIDE oriented and what i mean by that is. They don’t focus on shows, parades, characters,etc they focus on the amount of thrill rides and more geared toward young adult rather then kids.  With that being said i did notice that US defiantly has a lot of cool characters to meet. I saw Shrek, Men In Black ( and the dog), Scientist from back to the further. The Simpsons. Spongebob and more.  At IOA they had all the marvel characters to meet and being a girl i was super happy when i saw Captain America

Just to give you a sense at how awesome the Express Pass is…. Spiderman the whole 3 times i went had about a 45- 50 min wait i got to ride that ride ( my favorite at the parks) a total of 8 times without waiting longer like 5 mins at anytime. So going alone and getting to do that without standing on line and feeling bored and well awkward it made US and IOA that much more enjoyable. Also when i went to Disney one day alone i was bummed manly because i had to wait on lines alone and it was well just not fun. Disney seriously need to get Express pass or at lest a version of it i know they are working on something called MAgic + ( heres a link to a article about it )   when i was at Disney later that week i did see it was working for Resort guest to get into parks as well as getting into our room ( Disney blog post coming )

So with that being said US and IOA are defiantly great with family or alone and i would love to do it all over again
