#disneymoon

Bridal wedding mickey ears with glittered mouse shaped diamond rings. Stunning for new bride to be going on their Disney Honeymoon.

Today was our last day in the parks (and I'm TOTALLY not posting this after we got home, that would NOT be a thing that I would do). Today's agenda was Universal Studios. After all the rain yesterday, we were glad to be dry, but it was COLD. Jenn and I had hoodies and Kelly was wearing her Gryffindor robes, but Andrea and Nathan didn't bring anything warm. By the end of the day, even Andrea was cold and she's NEVER cold.

Universal was starting to get all Christmas-y too!

We had to see what Kelly could ride again LOL

We left Andrea and Kelly looking for a place to get Kelly's name on her stocking she bought at Islands of Adventure and took Jenn on The Mummy coaster, then we hit the Jimmy Fallon ride and took Andrea over to meet an old friend of hers.

She FINALLY got her shark drink at Chez Alcatraz too!

Then it was off to Diagon Alley! We found the Knight Bus

And then we headed into the Alley proper for a bit of shopping and so Nathan and Jenn could ride Escape From Gringotts.

I have a bit of a bone to pick with Universal in general here. Americans in general are on the larger side. MAKE YOUR RIDE VEHICLES MORE INCLUSIVE!!! I fit on everything at Disney JUST fine, not to mention everything at our local amusement park as well. Universal, not so much. It's extremely frustrating and upsetting when you pay a ton of money to go somewhere only to find out that you don't fit into whatever arbitrary size they've made their ride vehicles.

It rained today. Oh dear LORD did it rain today. I have never been so thankful for a 99 cent plastic poncho in my life. We did spend the day being highly amused by my shoes though. Andrea had cleaned them for me a couple months ago, and apparently didn't get all the cleaner out. As soon as my left shoe got wet, it started foaming out the side.

We ended up buying Genie+ again today which came in handy. We started out at Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway since everyone and their dog had headed to Rise of the Resistance first. When we got off of there we saw Rise had dropped to a 60 minute wait so that was our next stop. To our surprise, we waited just under 11 minutes to get to the first preshow room.

I even managed to get a good pic of the stormtroopers this time! After that, Andrea wanted a snack so she peeled off for a Ronto Wrap while the rest of us hit up Smuggler's Run. It's a small world. I was scrolling Facebook while in line and telling Jenn we should probably avoid Powers and Constitution for awhile since the new In-N-Out just opened. The girl in front of us in line overheard us talking, turns out her and her friend were from the Springs too! We ended up riding together which was a lot of fun.

By the time we got off the ride, our mobile order was ready over at Woody's Lunch Box so we huddled at a table under an umbrella in the rain and ate. The grilled cheese was good, but I've made just as good at home.

Next on the agenda was Slinky Dog. Pro tip: riding that coaster IMMEDIATELY after lunch is probably not the best idea. But our pic turned out really cute. Kelly sat that one out, we learned last year that she cannot handle it in the least.

We did Toy Story Mania right after, and Jenn kicked our BUTTS!!! I do love that ride though! We wanted to get in from the rain for awhile so we did the Frozen Sing Along (IT SNOWED INSIDE Y'ALL)! Then I managed to score a Lightning Lane for Rockin Roller Coaster for Nathan Jenn and I. That was another really cute pic. Jenn's face is kinda my favorite thing.

Then we headed out for a snack at Backlot Express and to just be DRY for awhile. The food was meh, just standard theme park fare, but we weren't out in the rain. We had just enough time after that to go on Smuggler's Run again with Andrea and then make our reservation at Oga's Cantina.
