I thought Mummy was the only one? It is specifically mentioned in the email but no others are?

So, life got super busy and I just realized that this is next effing week already and I kinda forgot about it! Itās so funny how that can happen when everything is bought and paid for and thereās no reservations to worry about.
One of my traveling party was at Universal last week and rode VC twice, and waited less than 30 minutes each time. I always knew that it was a version of a coaster theyāve been building for a long time, but now that Iāve seen videos I am less desperate to ride it. I still think it will be fun, but I donāt think it does anything (except the barrel roll on the waterā¦ thatās what Iām looking forward to) that Maverick at Cedar Point hasnāt been doing for years. That takes a lot of the pressure off, really.

Did anyone get Pteranodon Flyers email yesterday that tried for it? We didnāt get an email so I think that means we didnāt get it.
I didnāt either.
Whatās are the must eats out of whatās being offered. Iām trying to put together a game plan.

Green Eggs and Ham/Pizza/Buffalo Chicken Tots in IOA and the Taco Truck in UOR are at the top of my foods list, but would love to know whatās a must do for others as well!

We usually eat at Finnās or one of the Potter restaurants so I have no frame of reference. Bumblebee Man is top of the list!

We are also of course planning to get all the butterbeer varieties and Floreans ice cream. But I have a feeling the first night at least we will be focusing on rides and just grabbing snacks as we see them.
Iām also throwing some ziploc bags in my backpack for some to go options

Consider depending on walk-though queues:
Spider-Man (inside, seats 12, private?)
Hulk (outside, queue mixed)
Fearfall (outside, indoor queue)
Kong (maybe excluding twins?)
8pm Eat

Alternatives:

Hagrid (maybe excluding twins?)
12am latest Hogwarts Express (private?)
Diagon Alley (will revisit on Sat)
Gringotts ride (closes by 12am)
Finish up with wand spells
Still working on Sat. Flipped some things this morning with rain in the forecast to put wet rides today. I think Iāve redone these plans thoroughly about 6 times!

Looks good. Weāre going into IOA first per our email so gonna try and hit Velocicoaster single rider line. Then will walk into USF since I bought EP for there and stay over there until 7pm and then we will take the train the opposite direction so we will probably miss each other but if we see yāall Iāll holler. Have fun!

Ah! Love these plans. We go into US and I had originally planned to exit and go over to IOA for Veocicoaster, but with the rain forecast may end up just staying in US for the indoor rides. We will see!

We just RDed IoAā¦ we arrived at 8:20 and went all the way to the left (where the exit normally is) and the line went back to about the lighthouse. There were 2 lines there, and they started letting people in around 8:40ā¦ we were inside by 8:50.
We got our first ride on VCā¦ itās worth waiting for if you like coasters, especially if you like airtime.
We rode a few things, but the park was already pretty busy by 10:30, with tons more people pouring in so we came back to Cabana Bay for lunch and midday pool time.
Itās really clear where to check inā¦

We joined the line to check in. Itās long already, so seems like we need to get here earlier tomorrow.
