Universal Studios

Wednesday
Unfortunately for us all, my son couldn’t get to sleep, so the 5am wake up call (from Mr Incredible no less) was not appreciated. We grabbed a Lyft (using a Bubble Bum for my son as he isn’t 8) at 6 and got to universal early, second in line. Because we bought our tickets online we got early entry into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which was fun! We went straight to Ollivanders where the kids chose wands, and went around the Wizarding world doing magic. We tried Butterbeer which we have wanted to do forever! Review here
The kids did not love Flight of the Hippogriff, which set the tone for the attractions for the rest of the day. The studio tour was pretty good, glad we did it, and so was the Jurassic Park ride, despite my sons tears, by this stage he was so tired. We strolled around the lands, met Blue, and Bart Simpson, and were ready to go. Honestly, after being in a Disney bubble it was really abrasive, staff shouting at people about how to queue etc, I wasn’t a great fan.
We grabbed a lyft to Hollywood Blvd, the kids wanted to go to Sweet! Hollywood and also see Rupaul’s star on the walk of fame, I don’t love Hollywood, but I do love that sweet shop, and I also love Rupaul, so we did that, and jumped in a Lyft back to the Disney Bubble by 2.30, just before the traffic started picking up. Home by 4, a tired kid, there was no way we were hitting a park tonight, so we got some Mexican food delivered (used Uber eats), ate and had an early night.
