Day 11
















Tuesday - We went for a bufet breakfast in the morning before heading to Florida Mall. When we got back we all went back to Seaworld for the evening - it's open until 10pm. It was a lot quieter in the evening and we managed to go on the new Manta roller coater three times as well as the Kraken roller coaster and the Journey to Atlantis log ride. We also went to the Shamu Rocks show and saw the firework display.

Day 9


Monday - We went to the Universal Island of Adventure today. It is a bit more geared to older children with a number of rides having height restrictions. There was a Cat in the Hat part where Hary and Ellis spent some time in the morning before going to the Wet 'n Wild waterpark in the afternoon.


We went on the Duelling Dragons roller coaster -which is two roller coastes next to each other that pas within 18 inches at one point. We also went on the Incredible Hulk roller coaster which was quite scary and Bluto's Bilge Barges which was a water raft ride where we all got soaked.


The picture is of Jordan with his lunch.


Day 8











Tracey and Luke went to the Outlet Centre and the rest o us went to Animal Kingdom. We went on the Kali River Rapids, the Kilimanjaro Safari and the new Mount Everest roller coaster, which goes backwards as well as forwards. Ellis saw the Lion King Show and the Finding Nemo show.

Day 7

Saturday - Today we went to Blizzard Beach. We didn't take any photos of our own, but we went on Summit Plumit - a 120ft, near vertical water slide, Teamboat Springs - a family raft ride, tobogan water slide, as well as the lazy river and the childrens water area.

Day 6






















































































































We had a late start today - after going for a traditional American breakfast of sauasage, eggs, biscuits, gravy and grits.


We went to Hollywood studios. We have an excellent picture of the Tower of Terror which we will show you when we get home. We also went on a Star Wars ride and saw the Indiana Jones show.




We saw an extreme car stunt show as well - Sam video'd some of it.




On the way home we stopped at Walmart and it took 40 minutes to queue up at the checkout - we've had shorter queues to go on rides. I am not going there again.




Day 5





























Epcot today. We went on Mission Space and the Test Track ride and we went round each of the "Countries". We had nachos in Mexico, sandwich in Norway and fish and chips and a pint of bitter in England.














Day 4







Today we went to Universal Studios. We have not been here before and it was good fun. We went on a very good Simpson's roller coster simulator that made Tracy cry, we also went on a ET ride that Ellis loved as well as a recreation of a scene from the film Twister which was rubbish, although it did feature a flying cow.

We will try and go bck to Universal another day because we still need to go on the the Jaws ride and the Mummy roller coaster.
