Trip report Part 2

Well thanks for reading my 1st report here is our 2nd week

Saturday we. . . urm . . . went SHOPPING again, I bought no 1 daughter a prom dress for next year with shoes and bag to match I know its early but at less then 拢50 for the lot I just could not leave it there. Daughters bought more Converse and also had a spend in the Disney shop. Then later we went back to the car cruise in Kissimmee as the 1st time we went we were so not with it we forget to take cameras so had to buy a disposible 1.

Sunday we went to Islands of Adventure. Husband and girls did all the rides execpt Hulk as a storm threatened as they had done every thing we hopped across to studios to have some cheesecake. the cheesecake factory at Universal Studios is just as you go in on the right nr where you view your photos.

Monday we went to Seaworld didn%26#39;t manage to do all the shows but did do Shamu and Shamu rocks plus the fireworks.

Tuesday out with my friend again and this time she took us on an airboat ride. That was fantastic it was alittle too hot for the %26#39;Gaters but we did see 1 about 10 feet long. Had lunch at Steak n Shake I think it was somewhere nr Melbourne (I%26#39;m good at this am I not lol)

Wednesday we did IOA again and yes we had cheesecake again!!

We did eat other things as well I promise.

Thursday we had a Drive around and did a little bit more . . . . . . . .

yes you%26#39;ve guessed it shopping. In the afternoon we went to see about a helicopter ride but the 1 on I Drive would only take 3 at a time, not much good for famlies of 4. So it ment another drive down to KIssimmee but at least we colud all go together. Iam glad I did it but don%26#39;t thing I would rush to do it again. I am ok then they go in A straight line but its all the up n down and turning. Husband and daughters enjoyed it and it is worth tipping the pilot as you get on as seem to get a better trip. The family after us had booked then same tour as us but must not have tipped as they were not in the air as long as we had been.

Friday was our last full day so we went back to Universal did all the best bits from both parks. Husband and daughters finally managed to do Duelling Dragons were they both went round together. Both the other times they did it they went round on their own. Surely the whole point is they go round together but at least they managed it before we came home.

Saturday was home day so it was breakfast then to the airport. Again we sailed through and the flight was on time. Arriving back in Manchester we had over 1 hour to wait for out luggage, not realy what you want at 4.35 on a Sunday morning.

I hope you have enjoyed this posting and can I thank everybody who helped with my questions before we went. This was ment to be a once in a lifetime holiday but as Arnie says %26#39;I%26#39;ll be back%26#39;

We should tip the helicopter pilot? I%26#39;ll add that to the tipping list! How much did you tip the pilot?

Great report jmc - sounds like you had a fab time! Bet it has been really depressing to come back to this shocking weather. sounds like you will be booking again shortly!

Trish

Yes we tipped the pilot but we only tipped $20, the trip was $171 so it was only 11.7%

hI we go 6 oct.4nov, am so glad you have wrote were cheesecake factory is, we have been twice and neve hurd of it till i saw on here,cant wait to try it i love cheese cake.humhum.angiex

The sandwiches were quite nice as well but the cheesecake was great for supper as we only had 2 meals a day then either cheesecake or ice cream or something for supper

Can you remember where you went for the airboat ride, and would you recommend it? We definitely want one, but don%26#39;t know which one to use!!

It was about 1.5 hours drive away nr Melbourne/ Palm bay area only saw 1 %26#39;gater as it was way too hot. There are airboat rides closer we were going to do the 1 at Boggy Creek but wanted a day with my friend so this was nearer for her. Put a search in topic and there are quite a few reviews about more local ones.

Great reports, wondered how you found steak and shake ? Nice food ? Is it easy to find ?

Susan
