We are really enjoying the Hard Rock Hotel. There is music playing everywhere and I think I have known the whole playlist so far. Music memorabilia is the decor theme and we are having fun looking at all the crazy outfits. We splurged for club level and that includes use of the club lounge with free breakfast, snacks, hot snacks at dinner , inclding an open bar time and a desset buffet. Needless to say this saves on food costs although the selection is not extensive. Josh didn't like any of the dinner options so he went with oatmeal from the shop downstairs.
Harry Potter World was pretty spectacular although the ride itself made me feel a little sick. We tried frozen butter beer but avoided the pumpkin juice. We also managed to get away with no merchandise purchases by the boys although we might crumble today. We covered both theme parks in the day, skipping lots that did not interest us and concentrating on the thrill rides. To his great delight, Flynn was just tall enough for the Rip Ride Rokit, which I understand is the fastest, steepest roller coaster in the US. He admitted that it was "a little scary" but was raring to ride again. Josh and Jason and Flynn rode all the daredevil rides. Cambo and I spent some time on the bench.....but we did do a few scary ones.
We finished the afternoon with a swim in the pool. The water slide is "the longest in the world" (please - how do they know this?) and the boys went on it multiple times ("about 50", "10 gazillion" , " heaps").
HI there,
ReplyDeleteI spoke to Noni today and she was amazed that you were already in Florida and that you would be coming through SF later this week! "wait till I tell Gramps!" She said. Thinking of you moving those little guys around. It must be great to have some helpers.
