flowida!


I’ve come to the conclusion that the best time to go on a vacation to Florida is in November around Thanksgiving. I just came back from Orlando Florida and I had a great time. The weather was beautiful and warm and perfect. The temperature was in the 70’s the whole week and was sunny except for one day when there were some clouds and it drizzled a little on us.
We spent most of our time at Universal Studios. This was my third time going to Disney World in Orlando and I think Universal is my favorite park. My favorite part of Universal is Islands of Adventure. It includes Marvel Super Hero Island which has rides like the Hulk and the Amazing Adventures of Spiderman. My favorite ride in Marvel Super Hero Island is the Amazing Adventures of Spiderman because it is a 3D thing and seems to be very real compared to some 3D rides I’ve been on. Seuss Land is also a part of Islands of Adventure and is geared more towards little kids. It has quite a few shops and stores where you can buy things related to Dr. Seuss books and a few rides like the Cat in the Hat ride. Another part of Islands of adventure is the Lost Continent. My favorite ride in this part of the park was a ride called the Dueling Dragons. It’s a ride with two roller coasters posing as dragons, the blue is ice and the red is fire. The two roller coasters head off at the same time and get pretty close to hitting a couple times which adds to the excitement of the ride. Jurassic Park is another theme of Islands of Adventure. The big attraction in this portion of the park is the Jurassic Park River Adventure. I did not get a chance to ride this one but did ride the Pteranadon Flyers. It’s like a ski lift that gives you a tour of the park. It’s pretty low key and fun. Last but not least is Toon Lagoon. This is a part of the park that is based on a bunch of comics that have been popular throughout the years. There are thinking and talking bubbles everywhere for you to get pictures underneath. All the main attractions in this part were water rides and since the weather wasn’t quite warm enough, we didn’t spend too much time there, but it’s a joy to walk through and see all the funny comics.
