oh thank you so much for the lovely comments , its so nice when people are really truely interested in what we did 
ok here goes  really feeling the jet lag tonight as i didn't sleep a wink last night and was up at 5am doing a bit of ironing
first day back to work too 
day 3.... seaworld
up early again , infact we were up early every morning apart from when we managed a lie in till at least 9.15
another beautiful morning watching the hot air balloons taking off
what a great spot we had for that
arrived about 10am after easily finding the park
made our way to journey to atlantis OH MY GOODNESS ....THAT WAS A DROP  oh daniel's face yahooooo that looks wicked he kept saying are we really going on it ???
i was like oh yeah course love
queued for about 20 mins then we were on ..i was a bit scared to say the least , but it was great we all loved it and got pretty wet too , which we always found amusing , also poncho spotting was fun whats the fun in that we were thinking , but each to there own  watched kraken .....no way on this earth of course daniel was getting real brave now , but we had to stick to our guns .....how cruel , but somethings in life are just not meant to be riden
we also went on shamu express oh i loved that my kind of ride
saw the manatees which was amazing
went to the dolphin nursery .............i could have filmed them all day , how wonderful to see them swimming with the babies
this was my sisters dream day , and she actually got to stroke a dolphin ..what a thrill for her
we couldn't get in to the morning show of shamu believe , but we did easily get in to the afternoon showing
OH MY GOODNESS out of this world
it was so funny , as we thought one of the little ones was shamu
till in he or she came
our eyes popped out , and we all said..thats a SHAMU !!!
how they manage to do the tricks is beyond me , a not to be missed show in deed
went to see the sharks and the puffins and the penguins
another wonderful day
we headed home , then got ready as we had decided to go to downtown disney that night
that was great too and we had a bout 3 hours or so , looking in the shops , and took daniel in to planet hollywood to look at the memerabillia, he really liked that when he saw something he knew about
off to the lego store , and of course the disney store
what i really liked is that you can't say anything really is over priced , like in the lego store , prices there were the same as in toys r us at florida mall , so thats really good
day 4 ....a rest morning
stayed around our pool , and i cooked breakfast, we had a lovely morning in the pool and made our plan for the afternoon , we had decided to go to hollywood studios as we wanted to stay till the end and see FANTASMIC
so we headed out around 3pm
there wasn't too many things we really wanted to do here , so we knew we could make it going later on
we did the stunt show , which was pretty good , and very entertaining , although a bit drawn out at times , but then it had to be while the next stunt was been prepared
star tours it was ok , glad we only waited 10 mins though , or i would have been dissapointed
rock n roller coaster ........well we bit the bullet ..this was our big ride , we had to queue here , but only an hour which wasn't too bad
we were so scared , i couldn't really speak before we went on , but daniel was really excited this was going to be major
i was so glad when we were off , but it was amazing , if i can do it anyone can
it was about 7pm by this time , and we had really only gone for fantasmic
so we decided to start to head for the queue
when we came out of the rock n roller coaster it looked like it had been raining a bit , anyway , we were right near to fantasmic , so decided to visit the rest rooms and then get an ice cream
the heavens opened as were were getting our cornet , and it bounced and it bounced 2 feet high , no where to run too baby so we all huddled under the ice cream parlour
we got talking to the really nice guy serving , and well we were soaked on one side at least
we were asking about the show and he said it may be cancelled
everyone was coming out
it was still raining and we were still talking , then it looked like people were going back in , so off we went ,
got straight in , as i guess a lot had decided to leave for home
we were sat in the stadium , it was still spotting but not to bad
they sold a whole load of ponch's that night
can you believe it , we sat there in the rain watching this fabulous show and we didn't even care
10 out of 10 out of 10 , AMAZING , and we would have sat through a storm to have had the chance to see it
now this is where i might get a bit confused , we seem to have lost a day on my list funny how you can't remember what you did after only 3 days if you don't keep your diary up to date
ok day 5 universal studios
this was going to be a busy day , so we headed out in lots of time
especially after we saw on the news that the simpsons ride was NOW open
daniel knows every word of every episode , and he was so excited , as we really thought and told him not to get his hopes up , as it probably wouldn't be opening while we were there
you wouldn't believe it , the first things we saw in universal was bart and homer walking up the street
we headed straight for the ride trying to contain the child
the wait was 45 mins , and you got to watch the cartoons as you queue , says me who's never watched a single episode 
you are boarded into a room, then a cart i think 8 people
then the doors open and you are off down a rollercoaster that is all in pieces
well thats about as much as i saw  
i can honestly say it was awful i had my little eyes closed for almost all of it
all i could hear was daniel shouting , cool , wicked and laughing
when we got off
well that was his best ride of all time
it is amazing , and the concept is fantastic , but too much for me hubby loved it too so a big thumbs up from the guys
we also rode men in black , really liked that
et , oh that was lovely
jaws .... the boat driver was sooo funny , made the ride
woody's roller coaster ,
twister .... well , not really impressed , but again , went on as no waiting time , so that was great
shrek 4 d brilliant
jimmy nutron ride , i was nearlly sick on that too , so you can understand how i liked the simpsons
and the mummy was a fantastic ride , really loved this one
well again , i will leave it there for now
had a little try at putting on some pics , but didn't work for me , so i will look into that tomorrow
thank you all again , and i hope you are still liking our trip report
