Day 2 - Universal Studios Florida

On Day 2, we went to Universal Studios. We decided to do 2 Universal Parks and 1 Disney Park because it was a lot cheaper. Here the girls are in front of the rotating universal ball. We actually got a good shot on the first try.
Right away, the girls got to meet Dora and Diego.

They also got to meet Spongebob. They don't like Spongebob, but there wasn't a line to get a picture with him so we took advantage.

Universal Studios had a lot of play areas for the kids. One of them was called Feifel's playland. There was this ball pit there.(I haven't seen a ball pit in so long. Most places have gotten rid of them.) Feifel's playland also had a waterslide that you go down in a raft. They loved being able to do that by themselves.

Another playland was Curious George themed. It had this ball room that had hundreds of little foam balls that you could feed into different things and watch them shoot out. The girls both liked this cannon blaster. We spent over an hour of the day in this one room.

The girls were able to go on all but two of the rides. We took advantage of the play areas at the end of the day and let the girls play while we took turns going on the other two rides. Universal had single rider lines which made our wait times really short when we were going by ourselves. That was really nice. The girls had a lot of fun here, but when we asked them whether they liked Disney better or Universal Studios, their reply was Disney. We asked them why and Alyssa said that Disney didn't have any scary rides (like Jaws-where the shark attacks the boat we are sitting in and Disaster-where they made it seem like we were in a subway during an earthquake.)
