Super Fun Day at Universal Studios

What a terrific day we had a Universal Studios! It was Tyler's very first visit to the theme park. We started off in Seuss Landing, which is sooo much fun especially for a 4 year old. In fact, it was Tyler's very favourite part. We went on various rides, including the Cat and the Hat, where Steve unfortunately smashed his camera. Luckily, we still had mine to use. Tyler's favourite ride in the entire park was the One Fish, Two Fish ride. We also rode on the Dr. Seuss train ride which was located above the park.

After we completed the Seuss area we decided to seek food. We found this awesome restaurant called Mythos. It rated the #1 theme park restaurant in the world and it's plain to see why. The food, service and atmosphere was superb. There was lots to look while waiting for our food to arrive. It was like being in cool cave with fountains. We ordered a pizza for an appetizer which was one of the best pizzas we have ever tasted. Steve had steak fettuccine Alfredo, Tyler had cheese pizza, and I had Pad Thai, which was super super super delicious.

Then it was Harry Potter time. This attraction is new in the park and for Harry Potter fans it is quite a treat. It is like entering in a real world of wizardry. There are wizards everywhere and the buildings are just like in the Harry Potter movies. Steve said it was a must for us to sample the butter beer, so we purchased a cup to share. It was a good thing we only bought one cup because it was a little bit too rich. It sort of tasted like cream soda with butter. Tyler had a taste as well and liked it. The whole time I kept thinking of my friend Erika, who is a huge fan. She would have been in her glory.

Jurassic Park was next on the route where we ran from dinosaurs and had a blast in the camp where you could walk in the netting, slide, and get sprayed with water. After Jurassic, it was Toon Lagoon where we were surrounded by tons of characters from various comic strips. Then we entered the Marvel Superhero Island. This is what Tyler had been waiting for all day, to see the place where his favourite super hero lives, Spider-Man. We rode his ride and saved the city. Tyler had his eyes closed for most of it. Then after he got off, we were quite surprised to see none other than the big guy himself chasing after a villain. We chased him and ended up meeting him in person. He stopped to talk to Tyler for awhile. I think Tyler was in shock the whole time. LOL Then we went into the other part of the park where we did the Jimmy Neutron's ride which Tyler loved. Afterwards we walked through the movie sets and went on the Jaws adventure. Next on our list was another attraction that was new to us-The Simpson's ride. We noticed Tyler had his eyes closed again and when we got off, we asked why he had them closed. He told us he was sleeping. LOL Our last ride was the E.T. Adventure where we got to ride on bikes through the air and space. Tyler thought it was neat that they said his name at the end of the ride.

At this point, it was starting to get late and so we made our way back. Along the way we stopped in the different shops to browse. The "Lucy-A Tribute" attraction was neat. Tyler really liked the Nascar cars we saw on the way out. A big thank you goes out to Uncle Wyatt and Aunt Janell for making our special day at Universal Studios possible. We had an awesome time!!!
