Orlando Universal Studios

I was there in April, 2012. Frankly, you need at least 3 to 4 days to visit both studios, Universal's Islands of Adventure and Universal Studio Florida. I had spent 3 days at both parks altogether. First day, I had spent all day at the Unversal's Islands of Adventure, took some pictures and avoided rides that would get myself wet. Second day, no camera, focused strictly on rides at both parks. I had headed straight to The Forbidden Journey at the Wizarding world of Harry Potter to avoid long wait in queue. I had also brought some spare clothing to change for those wet rides such as Popeye & Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges. Third day, I had gone to see shows, like the Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue and the Animal Actors On Action. I even had time to repeat some of those rides that I had enjoyed most and shot as many photographs as I pleased with my D90 at both parks. Obviously, you want to enjoy all the rides as well as spending time to stroll at the parks and take pictures at every fascinating attractions, especially taking pictures with your favourite cartoon characters that would "roam around" on the streets. Then firstly, hold on to the map which provided by the park, it comes in handy to find your way around and it also listed the time of all the shows and events. Secondly, plan your itinerary carefully to avoid missing rides and show time.
Lastly, HAVE FUN!

Universal's Islands of Adventure has been open since 2000. The thrill rides on the islands will get your heart pumping and offer an unforgettable vacation for sure.

 

Note: An asterisk (*) next to the ride means my favourite!

My third cruise: 7 days cruise to Central America in Carnival Dream Ship

If you think cruise is for old folks, think again!

It can be fun for all ages.

I had enjoyed myself tremendously specially on those excursions that I had signed up for at different ports. Best of all, all-you-can eat and drink (non-alcoholic) at no extra cost. If the restaurant and buffet are closed, you can still find pizza available 24 hours or order room service.

Plus your room is made-up twice a day with a new animal towel every evening together with the "FUNTIMES" news which informs you of the events happening on the following day as well as the entertainment's schedule on the ship. Never have to worry "what's next?".

It would be awesome if I could live onboard for the rest of my life and travel from port to port. Yeah, it would be like a dream come true, wouldn't it?
