Well we are for sure going to have one day to visit and possibly two depending on if our flight gets in on time. Am trying to hedge my bets and only get tickets ahead of time for the day we are for sure going to be there. Man those single day tickets are expensive.

Yep. Pretty ridiculous. You will have a good time though.

Word of warning. I'm not prone to motion sickness, but that Simpson's ride made me feel like crap for about the next 2 hours. Fortunately we rode it as we were leaving the park.

I hate heights so I don’t do the roller coasters. The Simpson and SpiderMan ride had me freaking out. They don’t equal the Avatar ride in Animal Kingdom though that virtual reality ride is legit.

We are going to Disney the following week with the rest of my wife's family. This is just something fun for my daughter who is a HP fan girl. I'm pretty excited about all the new Star Wars stuff at Disney. I've told my family to just leave me alone for one day at that park.

If you are going to Universal for just one day, I highly recommend the Fastpass. You can cover both parks in one day if you get it. Costs a lot but was worth every penny on our trip in March.

Roller Coasters are something my daughter and I love doing. I will say it freaked me out the first time I got on the Rockin Roller Coaster and we started up and I slid backwards out of my seat and had to reach over and grab my daughter to make sure her little body didn't slide out of there. That was pure terror on my part.

I honestly think I would stroke if I rode the one at Universal that is a straight drop. IS that the one your talking about? I honestly was worried about my wife when she rode that one. One crazy coaster.

2 Disney recommendations: pay extra for the Fast Pass and get the app to use constantly. The Fast Pass is a trip saver (got back from Cali this weekend but have been to Orlando, too). The app tells you its a 95 minute wait for Space Mountain and you can get a Fast Past thru the app for a specific period of time that lets you skip the lines and go right up. The app will also tell you where certain characters are right now, let you order snacks ahead of time to pick up, and so much other craziness. My wife was a master of the Fast Pass. She carried notes with the scheduled times we would be at everything and we filled in the stuff around us.

I honestly don't know how people do Disney without the Fast Pass. I get that its 15 bucks a day extra per ticket and I hate add-ons, but this one is soooooo worth it. In. Sane.
