The drive to Universal was about 1 hour and the return back at 6 pm was 2 hours. It was the Friday night of President's Day weekend and we had to go through LA to get to Anaheim.
So US is set on a steep hillside and has stunning views of the California landscape when moving on four escalators from the upper and lower lots! The lower lot held Transformers - amazing!, Revenge of the Mummies and Jurassic Park - all first rate throng worthy rides. We road them before the crowds gathered. US had electronic signs erected throughout the park telling you the wait times of all the big rides - Disney could learn from that!
I really enjoyed the studio tour where you saw and experienced sets from movie and tv shows (including Wisteria Lane from Desperate Housewives). During the one hour ride where we had 6 quiet zones where filming was happening at the time.
We took a pass on the Simpson's ride knowing it made both P and I sick in Florida. The Waterwold show was amazing with fire and stunt action!
For supper, we left the park and walked right outside the gate to Citywalk. We enjoyed dinner on a patio on this pedestrian walkway that was teaming with activity. It felt like New York City's time square less the cars!
We got a caramel covered apple cut up to share on the bus ride home. I sure wouldn't want to endure long weekend traffic in LA on a regular basis! Thank heavens I wasn't driving !The bonus was we got to be the first stop on the hotel drop offs once back in Anaheim. We returned to the hotel a little after 8 pm and called it a night!
