Up early today for a 7.30am pick up from our motel for our day at Universal Studios. We headed straight down for a tour of the back lots. They've added some Jurassic Park props, and are currently filming the "prequel"to The Flintstones, & "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas".
After the tour we watched the Animal Actors Stage Show, met Benji and then went down the 3 sets of escalators to the ET ride.
We then watched The World of Cinemagic & lined up for Backdraft, but Chari chickened out so she and I gave it a miss.
Then we went back up to the top, had our hands stamped and went out to have lunch at Universal City Walk, where we also found a Hard Rock Cafe to buy t-shirts from.
After lunch we re-entered Universal Studios and watch the Beetlejuices Rockin Graveyard Revue, followed by the Wild Wild Wild West Stunt Show. After that we checked out the photos (and bought one) and went on the backlot tram ride again (with an Elvis impersonator).
We leisurely walked back up to the entrance and met our bus at 5.45pm. We arrived back at our unit at around 7pm and ordered pizza for dinner.
It's been sort of nice, walking down to the local 7-Eleven to buy variety packs of cereals and milk for breakfast, Nesquik for the girls and Zinfandel ($1.50 for 187mls) & Budweiser beer for us. We've also been able to buy Orios and other cookies to supplement (or compliment???) our junk food. We did buy fruit yesterday, and carrot & celery sticks too.
Every night at 9.30pm we hear the Fantasyland fireworks go off!!
