Arabella scored more than mummy this shopping round.
The next day our first theme park was sea world we dressed in our bathers bought a packed lunch with us then when we got to gate we were asked to throw it out so lunch in bin and no swimming :( we bumped into friends of our Californian friends and we realized we booked the wrong park me and Arabella wanted to swim with dolphins and that was discovery cove :( The whale show and the Christmas lights made it all worth while. The next day we started at islands of adventure which is apart of universal studios. It was awesome!!!! Snapping shots as soon as we walked in! We started in dr Seuss world- Arabella was in her element loved it!! moved on to meet the grinch, have our photo, watched his show, went on a few rides.
Then off to the lost continent Paul was loving it! Which took us thru to the Harry potter village that was amazing!!!!! We lined up for kiddie roller coaster Arabella really want to go on the Harry potter castle ride unfortunately not big enough by only couple inches.
Arabella couldn't wait to get to the next stop which was Jurassic park. That was it once we hit the discovery centre she didn't want to Leave! She watched a baby dinosaur egg hatch, scanned her eggs, then scan for fossils she loved it we finally manage to move onto the fun rides at Jurassic park. unfortunately again she was not big enough to ride she was in tears this time but the nice man took us to another ride which was a 60min wait we jumped the queue!!!
Then came across looney tunes land Arabella found the pirate ship and didn't want to leave! Ok finally mummy n daddy's turn.. Paul had a pic with wolverine and I rode the worst ride in the entire park by myself :( !!!!!! The hulk don't worry I made Paul ride it after me! :)
Then finally off to universal studios by this time it was getting dark we made it in time for Xmas parade and despicable me ride. We ended with dinner at hard rock cafe and needed a very long sleep!
Disney was the next day magic kingdom was great they had opened a new kingdom fantasy land with all the beast castle, belle cottage, Gastons tavern, new Ariel ride so much to see. We had lunch in the beast castle it was great apparently booked out for dinners until may 2013 so I waited for an hour. It's funny how when your at these places you are soo much more patient!!! Arabella got to meet all her favorite princess get their autograph. It was an incredible day and we didn't finish there we moved into downtown Disney which the bus ride alone took half hour and late at night. it was awesome amazing eateries ill always remember earl of sandwich the mega Disney store and T-Rex!!!
Last day in Orlando and I was not ready to leave still so much to see and do!
Our last leg of the trip was utah park city it was an awesome feeling to be surrounded by snow it makes everything look so much prettier! Our hotel was perfect location. We caught up with Paul's friends who have an amazing house on the mountain with mega views. They lent us their ski gear which was a bonus! So we just needed something for Arabella got her boots and ski suit for $5 at local thrift store we were happy! We took a trip to the famous burger place yummo! Then off to midway is was a gorgeous quaint Swiss town sooo pretty. We had some snow fights built a snow man ready to head off home. Next day we were able to go tubing that was so much fun Arabella had a ball! Then it was Xmas eve ready to move on to SLC for Xmas eve it was snowing all day was an amazing feeling :)
Had a lovely Xmas lunch with Annie and her family & friends. She lent us her Mini Cooper to drive back to our hotel. Next day I finally got to fit in some shopping time. Now we have 3 nights left I think we're all ready to come home!
