An awesome day with friends
Today was a lot of fun! I had made plans a couple of days ago to hang out at Universal with friends, and then yesterday I was told about meeting at a BK for breakfast beforehand (which was fine with me). Unfortunately I got lost, and went to the wrong one (apparently there are a few in that area). Luckily it was just down the road, and I was there within a few minutes. Even being late, I was still second there. For breakfast, I had a chicken biscut sandwich, mini hash browns, and a sprite. Overall it was pretty good. Once everyone was there, we were off (overall it was me, Mark, Chris, Laura, Gregg, and 2 friends of Laura's- Jennifer and David). Since Mark doesn't have an AP, I went with him so I could help him with parking. He was happy about the parking spot we got (since I have a premiere pass, we got preferred parking). We started at IoA. First we went on One Fish, Two Fish (I hadn't been on that ride in forever). I rode with Chris, and we decided to not follow the rhyme. It was a good thing too, as it was pretty hot out. After that, we were off to WWoHP. We saw the Frog Choir, which was pretty cute, then got into line for Forbidden Journey. The posted time was 60 min, but we didn't even wait 40. And the most interesting thing happened while on the ride- I finally got stuck! We had just entered the Quiditch scene, when we stopped, and the projection turned off. And the "benches" were tilted forward. Then right before we started moving again, the benches started rocking back and forth, then whipped right into the Forbidden Forest/Dementors scene (and I almost had a heart attack with the first dementor). Luckily I had ridden before, so that didn't ruin anything for me. After we finished riding, we got lunch at the 3 Broomsticks. I went with my side items again (salad, roast potatoes, and wedges). After lunch, we went over to Studios. There we rode Mummy, saw Beetlejuice (I taped the entire performance of the interpreter), rode ET, and saw Horror Makeup Show. After that, it was just after 6pm. So we headed for the exit (first stopping for Laura and Jennifer to buy their HHN passes). Mark dropped me back at the BK for my car. And I was going to go home, but me and Chris decided to see HP 7.2. It was just as good as the first time I saw it! So overall, a very good day
