Bilge Rat?
Who even wants the history lesson explaining it to kids.
We had âPopeyeâ and âCanada guy.â
âDinosaur waterâ and âgiant roller coaster.â

It wasnât intentional. I had the âDooâ of âDoomsâ in my head. And I just woke up

This was right before we entered the ride. Posted time: 5 min. Actual time 40 min.
That has to be the lowest loading capacity of all rides in Orlando
We liked it. But due to the long wait we were late for our 3 Broomsticks reservation

The screens are in the back and you are not looking at it the whole time. I donât consider it a âscreen rideâ.

Met the rest of the group at Three broomsticks. Similar breakfast options. Had the pumpkin juice again.

In regards to the WDW vs Universal Orlando rides versus screens argument, our best day at Universal was seeing the streetmosphere and shows and character meet and greets. We rode a couple of rides too, but really enjoyed seeing Beat Builders and Bourne Stuntacular and running into Beetlejuice. Just standing and taking in Diagon Alley and eating Florean Fortescueâs was great.
We felt the character meet and greets at Universal are so nice. They even have those floats that come out every 30-40 minutes and allow you to pose for photos with the characters. We liked watching the acapella group in NY.
I have a hard time soaking it all in at Disney because I feel like our day needs to be so structured to get in any rides and to feel like I got the value out of my ticket. Affordable APâs at Universal and express pass made me so much more relaxed and I could actually enjoy our vacation. We could do what we wanted to when we wanted and not what we had on our itinerary.

Everyone wanted to go back to the resort, but I suggested one more attraction. Poseidonâs Fury. It looked like something they would enjoy

Iâm also very interested to see how Disney-goers react to the lockers theyâre building for Tron.

We went back to the resort at 12:10 pm. Started raining right when we took the bus.
I really wanted to go back in the evening to go on a few more rides (at least FJ), but as I mentioned, no one wanted to go - not even the kids. I considered going alone. I had an excuse - to buy a Velocicoaster T-shirt, but it would have been rude to ditch everyone like that. When I saw the wait times stayed long until the end (4th of July crowds perhaps) I gave up.
So this was my last picture. 
Took as we walked out

So, you did breakfast at both the Leaky Cauldron and Three Broomsticks? Weâve done LC before but not 3B. Our travel agent can only get 3B for our August trip. Were the menus the same? Any major differences? My DD loved breakfast at Leaky Cauldron last time, particularly the oatmeal flan. Hoping itâs available at Three Broomsticks as well! Thanks for any info.

Weâve only done Leaky Cauldron too but 3 Broomsticks is going to fit in our plans better so I hope itâs good! Weâre not too fussy.

The menus were very similar, but there were a few differences. For example, I also really liked the oatmeal pudding thing from Leaky Cauldron, but that was not in any of the options at 3B. At 3B, I liked the blueberry pastry in the Continental breakfast, and that was not included at Leaky Cauldron.
Might be worth trying both, but expect a lot of similarities.

Why is everything so polarized these days?
I refuse to pick a side. I donât have to be either team Disney or team UOR. There are MANY things I dislike about WDW, but I am not a Disney hater.
I canât enjoy a ride when Iâm fighting motion sickness. That doesnât mean Iâm looking for excuses to hate UOR. I will definitely be back for Velocicoaster and Hagrids.
Itâs ok to like/dislike both parks for different reasons.

Thanks so much! Weâll probably only do one. I will have to consult my daughters to see if they want to try 3B. That oatmeal pastry at LC was their favourite breakfast thing. Itâs too bad we canât seem to get the reservation there!

We got a vacation package that included breakfast reservations. Itâs a good experience, but the breakfast options arenât great. If I were to go back, I would try lunch or dinner.
