Universal Studio's day 3

 12-27 Wednesday. For the 3rd day we let the boys pick their favorite park to revisit and everyone chose the first park. We watched the Bourne Stuntacular show a second time (this was Jason's favorite thing in the park). We all actually really liked the show. They have a background movie screen playing along with a few actors on stage and a few props and it's really hard to tell whats actually real and whats the movie screen. We did the Race through New York with Jimmy Fallon, the Men in Black Alien Attack a second time, walked around the Harry Potter area and watched the fire shoot out of the dragon, checked out the Knight Bus and tried to do the Escape from Gringotts ride again, but the line was always 90+ minutes long.  We were only at the park for about 4 1/2 hours and decided we were all tired and done.  We attempted to go to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner but they had over an hour wait. So, we decided on burgers and milk shakes and hit the hotel to watch movies in bed and relax.

Universal Island of Adventure day 2

12-26 Tuesday. The Harry Potter section was the same as the one in California that we visited, but we all loved it. The boys and I are all Potter heads... Jason's a good sport and tolerates it. We went on the Forbidden Journey ride that takes you through the castle (the boys all went a second time, but my stomach can only handle the 3D and coaster once), we watched the Frog choir, had lunch with more Butter Beers at the Three Broomsticks restaurant, watched the Magic of Christmas light show on the outside of the castle, explored all the stores and the boys used their interactive wands all over the Harry Potter area.
