While we were in Florida we took a day and went to Universal Studios. Our original plan for the trip was for us to stay an extra day after going to Disney, and surprise Gretchen with a day at Universal. Once Disney closed and our plans were forced to change we weren't sure that Universal would happen, but thanks to DJ's mom for making it possible.
We parked the car and headed into the park. Along the way, the girls found all these places to pose. They wanted their picture taken on everything.
I mean, everything.
Yup, this too.
We were ready to conquer the day! DJ rode the Hulk roller coaster because the line looked like it was really short. Thanks to social distancing, they were only filling half of the ride and the line took a lot longer than he thought it would.
While DJ, his mom, and our niece were on the roller coaster, I took the girls over to ride this spinning ride. There was no line, so they rode it several times!
We made our way over to the cartoon area.
And finally, over to Hogwarts!
This was the entire reason we decided to brave the heat and the masks.
Gretchen was pumped for all things Harry Potter.
We rode one Harry Potter ride then had to say goodbye to half of our crew (my mother in law, niece, and Adalyn decided to head back to the condo), but DJ, Megan, Gretchen and myself faced the rest of the day.
The Harry Potter themed cupcakes helped.
It's her dream to go to Hogwarts all day.
Also, I must add that I know zero anything about Harry Potter, but this girl is a huge fan and enjoyed all of it! She and DJ rode one of the roller coasters several times!
We eventually made our way to Seuss Land for Megan.
This part of the park was practically empty. We rode a little train ride, and then went in to another Seuss themed ride.
The girls headed to the merry-go-round, and DJ and I took a break to watch.
Megan thought it was all super fun and Gretchen was a champ that tolerated it well.
We headed back to the Harry Potter area for lunch and butter beer.
Gretchen loved it!
After lunch, we split up. DJ and Gretchen stayed in Harry Potter to ride rides again, and Megan and I walked around a bit. She found Captain America and Spiderman.
She and I finished out the day in the Dr. Seuss area again, and finally met up with DJ and Gretchen before calling it a day!
