The Final Countdown - 2 Days!

If yesterday was slow (and it actually didn't end as slow as it started) then today was the opposite! I've barely had a moment to breathe, much less think about the trip and now I'm staring at the image on this post and wondering how I got to day 2 on the countdown. 

This is going to be a tough trip day to review mostly because there aren't predetermined Fastpasses at Universal and also because we are going to try to cram as much into day nine as we can. But you are owed a summary and I'll do my best to put it all here! We will have the Express Pass on this day so we should not have a long wait for any specific ride (except maybe 15 minutes at Reign of Kong)

Saturday September 24

• 6:30am - Wake up! 

• 7:00am - Early opening at Universal Studios, Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, take pictures if the park isn't too busy

• 8:00am - Official opening of Universal Studios, Men in Black Alien Attack, The Simpsons Ride, E.T. Adventure, Terminator 2: 3-D

• 10:00am - Universal Horror Make-Up Show, Shrek 4-D, Despicable Me Minion Mayhem (again), Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, Transformers: The Ride - 3D, Revenge of the Mummy

• 11:15am - Hogwarts Express to Islands of Adventure

• 12:00pm - Lunch at Mythos, Poseidon's Fury, The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad, Dragon's Challenge, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (will have to wait in line for this), Jurassic Park River Adventure, Skull Island: Reign of Kong, Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls, Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges, The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, Doctor Doom's Fearfall, The Incredible Hulk Coaster

• 7:00pm - Dinner at Cowfish (may be earlier if we take a break and decide to go back to the park afterward to finish rides), Dessert at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen

I know there are a lack of concise times here and I apologize; the Express Pass is going to make it difficult to know exactly when we'll be in each section of the park but I assure you we'll be enjoying whichever attraction comes next in line! 

I'm still not as excited as I feel I should be with only 2 days left in the countdown (1 1/2 days technically but who's counting?) I suspect that it will hit me tomorrow or maybe not until I see those beautiful palm trees in Orlando. In any case, I'll be back tomorrow with the final countdown/trip post so I'll see you then!
