Universal Summer #1

We decided to commence our Universal summer evenings on Saturday.  I was a little unsure about going since I was still experiencing headaches, which was also accompanied by dizziness, fog brain, and drowsiness.  I figured I probably had a slight concussion from getting hit with the ball last week and going on spinning and jerking rides were off the table for me.  

But we had a good time anyway (despite it being crazy busy)!  We started with dinner at Chick-fil-a...which was great since I had a gift card (a teacher appreciation week gift).

From there we parked and tried to enter Islands of Adventure but Zack's card was blocked so I had to wait about 20 -25 minutes in the customer service line.  The problem ended up being two missed payments. OOOPS! A while back I cancelled my debit card when I noticed some suspicious activity on it.  So, obviously, they were not able to draw out the payments.  

Once that was straight, we went on Cat in the Hat, took the Hogwarts Express to Universal,  and then Zack and CJ went on Mummy while I sat and waited.

We ended the evening by riding ET, which, I guess is being closed for refurbishment soon.  Why at peak tourist season I have no idea.  
With that, we put a period at the end of our first summer Universal evening.  Every time we do something like this I think about how lucky we are to be living in this area and how can jump in the car and be at the theme park within minutes.
