Our Trip Part 6 - Universal Studios

On Friday we went to Universal Studios. Even though it's that far miles wise from Anaheim, it took us a good 3 hours to get there because of the traffic. It was chilly, but we still had lots of fun. We took the tour, and experienced the cool King Kong 360 degrees 3-D. It's on the tour, and is VERY cool! We watched the 4-D Shrek movie, which is also very cool, and went on the Mummy ride. We love that ride, it's such a rush. This year Brichette was tall enough to go on it... sadly Xander wasn't (which really disappointed him). We love the waiting room. Then those that wait with the kids, don't have to wait in line!

It was really nice because you could actually get your picture taken with the characters (unlike a certain somewhere we went for three days and only got a picture with a couple of the characters). You didn't have to wait for them to get to their "spot" or have the line close right in front of you because it's time for them to take a break. They would just stop for you and pose with you, play with the kids, and were really friendly!

They had it decorated for Halloween, as did everyone, and after the park closed (dusk) they had a haunted pictures tour. We didn't do it. For one thing the kids would have gotten scared, and Melissa doesn't like haunted houses (she doesn't like to be scared either).
