We got up early today as we wanted to start packing because we would be moving out of our hotel the next day. Before we left the hotel to go to the park I took some pictures. My mother didn’t like the towers because it reminded her of a prison:

They had a little pond on the ground which had goldfish in it as well:
And this was hotel pool:
After that we headed back to Universal’s Citywalk. We arrive a bit earlier than we needed to so we took a stroll around the endangered species shop in Citywalk:
They had many funny t-shirts:
We eventually started to wander towards a park, passing the stage where
we danced with the dancers in 2008 and it was all decorated for Christmas:
We also danced in the Hard Rock Café:
We eventually made our way to Islands of Adventure:
We walked up through the shops because it was so warm out and shops were cooler. I took pics along the way of course:
We eventually made it to Seuss landing:
My mother decided she wanted food so we went into the Circus:
While we were there the Oh! The Stories You’ll Hear show started up. Cute little show with Seuss characters and Dr. Seuss stories along with some singing and dancing:
After the show the characters wait and take pictures with guests and sign autographs or whatever else. They waited in the centre at first but there was so few people there since it was only 11am, the characters started to roam around the restaurant. Some of them came over to our table and posed for pics and stuff. It was pretty cool.
So after all that excitement we decided to go meet the Grinch himself who was
missing from the show. While waiting in line for him I saw lots of Who
characters wandering around the streets which made the whole you’re in Seuss
land a lot more believable. They weren’t stopping for a proper meet a greet
just walking around randomly meeting people saying hello, of course if you went
over and asked them for an autograph and picture they would oblige but they all
stayed in character very well the whole time. As we got nearer to Grinch we
were listening to what he was saying and he was hilarious. He was the face
Grinch so could talk to guests and he was doing the mean sarcastic Grinch
fantastically well! Two teens went up with these Disney autograph books that make
noise when you opened them. They also had Disney pens. Well Mr. Grinch threw
the Disney pens on the ground refused to use them and asked the handler for non
Disney pens then when he opened the book and heard the music he said
sarcastically “It’s sooooooooo magical, SHUT UP you stupid book.” The next
group that went up was a lady and two kids and there was a guy standing back a
bit watching the interaction but with the group. When they had autographs
sorted the lady asked the guy if he was getting in the pic and he was like who
me? The Grinch went NOOOOOOOOO the guy behind you!
Then with me he asked first where I was from and when I said Ireland he was like oooh I wore my green today do you like it? My mother was taking a pic so we wouldn’t have to pay 23 dollars for the parks pic and first he asked her if she had got it and mother takes a while with the camera sometimes so he went “Chop, chop Grandma. Take it while we’re both still young.” It was hilarious. My mother was like WHAT DID HE JUST SAY? As I led her as quickly as possible out the door before she scolded the Grinch lol!

Anyways after that we decided to go on Cat in the Hat:
The ride spills out into a gift shop to so we explored a little naturally! I thought this t-shirt was cute:
We then went to line up for the Grinchmas Wholiday Spectacular. They
have everyone queue up at the side of Circus McGurkus and then at about 11.45
they start to let people through the rope and they have a counter ticker which
I presume once they reach a certain number they stop letting people through but
they then walked us over to another studio which felt like they were walking us
to Universal Studios but it was actually behind the Hard Rock Café. Once seated
I snapped this before the show started:
My mother was amazed by the tree because you see how plain it was in the above pic. They literally swing it around and get this:
I felt sorry for the dog playing Max. He looked so ashamed. He had his head down the whole time. He was so cute though:
There was a lot of singing and Christmas cheer and of course the fabulous
Grinch:
