These are the parks I was the most excited about. We went there when I was a teenager and I have so many fun memories about these parks! We had SO MUCH fun and I was so excited to share those memories with my family too!! As soon as we walked through the doors I saw the Hulk ride. That ride is crazy. It goes around in circles and upside down and all kinds of twists and turns. I knew that there is NO way the kids would ride it. So I just kept the thoughts to myself haha.
We went to Islands of Adventure first. And the first part we came to was the super hero island. The boys were SO excited! They love super heros but really have no idea who most of them are. I have to say...IOA and US were the BEST by far when it comes to the chars and giving Jacob special treatment. They were amazing with him!! We had one lady come and bring us to every super hero. The super heros were all so great with him and Tyler. We first saw wolvereen. Tyler was so scared of his long knife finger nails. He wanted nothing to do with him haha. It was pretty funny. In the pictures we took, you could clearly see how scared he was. The other super heros were all pretty good after that. Spider Man was the one they were most excited for.
After that we made our rounds and then headed to the Harry Potter land! That was just amazing!! Everything about it was just great. Before we left, we had Jacob watch most of the movies so he was so excited to go and knew about most of the harry potter stuff. We went through the castle and saw all the cool things. We rode a fun little roller coaster. That was the boys first roller coaster and they loved it. We then got a butterbeer. It was pretty good. We had no idea what to expect but it was good and we all loved it. I really wanted to get a wand for Jacob, but the line was always soo long. So we decided against it and thought I would just check later on. We have 2 days at Universal and IOA so if we go back, I will try to stand in line first thing.
After that we decided it was time to head over to Universal. That was pretty cool. We saw some awesome chars first thing. We had a lot of fun with Marilyn Monroe and saw Betty Boop but the kids didnt want to take pictures with her. Tyler was a little smitten with Marilyn, though haha. He has a things for blondes! We then found Tylers FAVORITE char...SPONGEBOB!! He was beyond excited to meet spongebob. It was so cute. He has had at least 1 char at every park that he just was so excited to meet. And that was this one. We rode a few rides and just really explored the area. Universal Studios is just awesome to walk around and explore everything.
This is a blog about Jacob, who is 10, and his fight with Mitochondrial Disease (Kearns Sayre Syndrome) and Autism.
