After a long car ride (as in, 6 hours long) I arrived at Universal Studios in the late afternoons excited with the possibilities that laid ahead on this glorious trip!
About an hour after I entered the park, I took the ever so famous Studio Tour and I wasn't disappointed a bit! I got to see a few special effects and how they worked. The photo above shows a set that's flooding and raining. Who knew so much work went into the setting of a movie?
A few rides later, I decided to keep my energy up and went to the candy store. While I'm not a big fan of Jelly beans, I couldn't resist taking a photo of those brightly colored candies and snapped a photo! So far, I'd visited on these attractions:
- the Studio Tour
- Special Effects show
- Shrek 4-D
Around 7 in the evening, the sun went down in L.A. and the weather started getting colder. I planned the last few rides we'd go on the day before we left Universal for the day and joined the long lines before the park closed.
Towards the end of the day, we went to City Walk and enjoyed looking at the beautiful lights and shops. I had done so much in one day and so glad you could take a peek of my trip!
BUBBA GUMP!!
ReplyDeleteHaha sorry, I visited Universal Studios Orlando last year and Bubba Gump made us smile everyday!
It looks like you had a great time. I wish I lived 6 hours away from somewhere this awesome!

Yay! Looks like you had fun. I lived in Orlando for a short while and we used to hit up the CityWalk there all the time! They always had great date packages where you could eat at your choice of restaurant (including Bubba Gump!) and a movie for two for super cheap. I miss that!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! It looks like you had an absolutely lovely time! Universal Studios is always such fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. I'm taking my kids there for the first time next week and they are SO excited. They are counting down the days. :) Glad you had fun!

ReplyDeleteoooohhhh those jelly beans look DELISH!
ReplyDeleteHow crazy is it that I've been in that area so many times, but I've never actually bothered to visit Universal?? I really should, and I think your post just gave me the push I needed.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had such a great time, and the weather looks spectacular!
