Friday - Day 13

As trailed yesterday we headed to Universal for our final day. This time we started with Islands of Adventure.

First up was the Hulk followed by Dr Fear's Free Fall and a final trip on Spiderman.

We had a look at the Jurassic Park water ride but sure they have upped the chances of getting drenched.

The first time we did this ride last time we were as dry as a bone but this year everyone was coming off soaked. Given that we got drenched yesterday we decided to give the water rides a miss.

So we headed to WWOHP to ride the Forbidden Journey. The queue for single riders wasn't too bad at all. Most of the popular rides had wait times of well over an hour.

Next was the Hippogryph ride - a first ride for us as the wait time previously had been too long. It said 25 minutes but wasn't particularly accurate.

We found somewhere in Dr Suess to have a quick snack and a sit down before heading over to Universal Studios. We had wanted to do the Despicable Me ride but that and Rip Rid Rockit were both over a one hour wait even for single riders on RRR.

So we arrived at one of our favorite rides that we never seem to tire off, no matter how many times we do it. The single rider queue took about 20 minutes.

We peered in Diagon Alley but had no intention of queuing for Gringotts Bank again. We just browsed the shops and soaked up the atmosphere.

The girls went on MIB and then we decided to finish our theme park addiction with The Simpsons.

So we headed back to the villa for a final swim and to pack.

We got dressed up and headed back to Bahama Breeze for our final meal.

We need to be out of our villa by 10 tomorrow morning. We have a final visit to Super Target and then we will head off to the airport and drop the car off.

We are due to depart Sanford around 14.45 us time and due to arrive in Gatwick at 4.15 Sunday morning.
