Tuesday morning I picked up my sister and niece and took them to Epcot, where Susan and I had a cast preview of the new Journey of Water walkthrough attraction. It’s a nice addition to the park, but nothing spectacular. My mom and the kids joined us.
We made a loop around the park and rode a few attractions. Like the California parks, the WDW parks now have signs out celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Disney company. I then dropped my sister and niece off at the Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando, where they were staying for a few nights.
On Wednesday I took mom to watch the shows at Hollywood Studios, and that evening Susan and the kids joined us for dinner at Whispering Canyon Cafe at the Wilderness Lodge. The food is similar to what we had at the Hoop De Doo and Trail’s End at Fort Wilderness campground, and plenty of it.
On Thursday Susan and I took my mom to Universal Studios and met up with my sister and niece. I figured we’d walk back to the Hogwarts Express and take that over to IOA, make a loop around that park, then finish up the Studios, but it didn’t work out that way. We rode E.T. then watched the animal show, the make up show, and the Bourne Stunt show. I’d been wanting to watch the last show for a while; it was pretty amazing how they matched up live actors and partial sets with the giant video screen. The make up show is more silly than scary. By the time we finished the shows, the wait for the Harry Potter train was almost an hour and it was getting hot, so we ate at the Leaky Cauldron and headed out.
