Quick Question - Advice on the best way to see Universal Studios in Florida

[Mr.Burns]

Hi guys and girls
As some of you will know I am currently visiting your amazing country [again] and would like to take the kids to Universal Studios in Florida. We've done it before but I thought I would ask my Quake buddies in the US and seek your advice on the best way to do this. Like most people these days I'm not on an unlimited budget but I'd like to try and give the kids the time I can.
I hope to buy the tickets tomorrow so I don't have long but if you have any helpful suggestions on the best and safest way (hopefully not some hand written note obtained in a car lot from some dude called fat Tony) to get tickets and help the kids enjoy a great 3 days I would be mot grateful.

Many thanks

Monty

P.S. @WL - yes I'm just off the 27 not far from Haines City. As an accomplished trucker you must be like a walking Tom tom

If you are facing the south side entrance to the castle near the directory signage for the kingdom,look immediately to your right at a plain brown parapet apron funneling the traffic into the entry.Walk around the back side of the buttress and you will see an unmarked and unlocked plain door.
This is the secret passage to the underworld.Enter and walk down the stairs to find a small fleet of electric buggies.Jump in one and Follow the any of the many lines painted throughout the labyrinth and explore the underbelly of all the parks for free.
Enjoy !

^{teeth smack} that's not true.

I have two words for you "Google Earth" (lol). Why go to Universal Studios when you can go to Egypt without even leaving your house?

This is what you do. Go to google earth and find Universal Studios. Explore the park in 3d and show your kids all the rides. When they get a bit antsy and start complaining about wanting to go there and do the rides, grab 'em up by their ankles, swing 'em around a bunch and throw them into a pool or bed or something. Then give them each $5.

BAM! you saved hundreds (maybe thousands) of dollars, the kids experienced something and everyone is happy.

If that doesn't work, rent a big pink bunny suit, break in your own house and scare the shit out of your kids. The whole time you do it, scream "You're going to Universal Studios!!!!" They will never mention it again.

It was when I worked on the"honey I shrunk the kids"set there. several years back Epcot is also accessible from the bowels of the underworld.An added bonus is the huge discount on meals afforded the workers in the cafeterias down there.

Complete stop as I have no time on the road for games.I am so bummed about the loss of my hobby words just fail to describe.My old P4 laptop just don’t have the power and T-mobile cut off my data roaming after I cracked the governor getting a better connect than my 8MB land line.Downloading tethered 4 GB in 30 min got me busted. DOH!
