It's been a while since I've done a TR, but I look forward to sharing our little Orlando trip with you guys.

We took Mikie and his best friend to Universal and IOA for his 13th birthday in January and ended up having a problem at the end of the day with an employee, as a result we ended up with free tickets (the customer service there was really outstanding - we weren't seeking any reimbursement. We simply wanted the situation fixed and the person reprimanded for the trouble that was caused and the result was above and beyond in my opinion!)


Anyway, we were originally going to go down and buy our passes at WDW and due to some different circumstances, ended up using our tickets to Universal/IOA instead.


We were only down for 2 nights/2 days and the overview is as follows:

Day 1: Monorail Madness
Loitering at TTC/MK
Random Orlando stuff

Day 2: Universal/IOA - including the premiere of the new Simpson's ride!!!!

Day 3: More randomness a la Orlando and going home.


I have some interesting observations about Universal and some pros/cons to both parks.
