But back then, you could get one of the lesser Disney hotels cheaply. We stayed in the baseball-themed hotel, and that was fun for the kids.
I think there's probably a perfect age for this trip. We couldn't afford it till the kids were older. I remember one kid wanted to go on that logride, and the other didn't, so I stupidly told the older one to just sit on that bench and don't move and we'll be done soon.
There didn't seem to be much of a line... because everyone was crammed into this underground tunnel leading to the boats. After a half hour, we were still waiting, and I was so worried about the kid outside that I feigned that I was sick-- that was the only way I could get us out of that tunnel and back out.
My fault-- but boy, that was a dangerous situation, probably 400 people crammed into this tunnel for 30 minutes.
We did love Universal.
