November 16 – Universal
We took a cab to Universal. The break even point between using a shuttle service and cab is 4 people. The cost for us was $38 one way plus tip. Of course that depends on traffic conditions.
We did our best to get a video of Deb on the roller coaster on Island of Adventure. I'm sure we missed her. But we tried. I've been trying to remember the name of this ride. I should have wrote it down.
Then on to Duelling Dragons where again we tried to film Deb while we waited for her.
On to Hogsmead and Hogwarts where Mom and Suzanne waited for Deb and myself to go on Forbidden Journey. Mom loaned me her little flash light and it helped a lot. Because of all my eye surgery I have almost no night vision.
We saw the tail end of the Frog choir and the Tri Wizards Champion show. Then The Hogwarts Express train to London for Diagon Alley.
We ate at the Leaky Cauldron for the first time. Neat set up. After you order and pay you take your drinks and are shown to a table. No wondering around trying to find a free spot! And when your food is ready it's delivered by a team member. Cool.
We walked around looking at the shops and then waited while Deb did the Gringotts ride.
Again we saw only the tail end of the Celeste show (sorry, can't find the map and show times to get the correct names) and the Three Brothers puppet show.
Suzanne waited while we did the Shrek Show and then we were back to Pop Century. No visit to the pool for drinks. Deb is leaving in the morning and the rest of us transfer to our new resort.
