I woke up in a great mood ready to get going to USJ…after some morning TV, of course.
Since we had half a day yesterday to check out the park, I knew right away where I wanted to go to. There was no need to wander around.
Yesterday, I was urged to drive at Elmo’s Little Drive, but I was a little scared. I think I still remembered last year’s slightly traumatic experience at the LegoLand go kart. I worked my way up and at least sat in one of the model cars just to get a feel for it.
Then we headed to the Universal Wonderland play area again. I played at Grover’s Construction Company for a bit and Daddy made me a cool car out of the building blocks!
Then it was back to Elmo’s Bubble Bubble again. Even the second time it was a lot of fun. The nice thing was that there were no surprises so I could enjoy it even more the second time.
Then it was back to Big Bird’s Nest. I went through the tunnels a lot again, but I also tried out the net as well. I didn’t go all the way up to the top, but I did go pretty high.
Then it was back to Elmo’s Bubble Bubble again, this time with Daddy.
I also wandered around a projection mapping pool for bit.
When I finally left the Universal Wonderland area, I wanted to to visit Hello Kitty. She had her own boutique and fashion museum where she was doing a photo shoot.

I had a great time at Hello Kitty’s Ribbon Collection but at one point during the wait I got in a mood. Even though I was excited to see Hello Kitty and was all smiles before, my bad mood really dragged me down. It was really unfortunate because Hello Kitty was so nice and I really really was excited to see her.

I guess my mood might have been effected by me being hungry. We popped across the street and got a Hello Kitty snack, then I felt much better. But still hungry.
So we got lunch. We had really good timing and found a table without problem and even got our food without much of a line. The food was pretty good and everyone was reenergized.
After lunch we wandered around a bit more and found some other cool parts of the park like the water garden.

I gave the Cookie Monster Slide a try!
Even Mommy and Daddy had fun riding Elmo’s Go-Go Skateboard. It looked a bit too scary for me so I sat this one out but took pictures for them.
Water break.
Then back to the tunnels at Big Bird’s Nest. After a few dozen runs through the tunnels I was finally convinced to give Elmo’s Little Drive a try.

I had a great time driving the car and I was the best driver out there! I’m glad I gave it a try! But when asked if I wanted to ride again, I passed.

I was getting hungry again so we went in search of some popcorn. We found some and a nice spot to take in a musical show. Not only was the popcorn really good, but it was just fun to hang out a bit and be me. Nana and I had fun goofing around.

We wandered past some carnival games and I gave one a go. I did okay, but I did miss the table a few times. I didn’t get the hug stuffie prize, but I did get a cool little badge.
We walked through the whole of the park and I found the buildings and design fascinating! I thought it was all really cool and I had a lot to say about everything. After taking a look at everything I was asked if there was anything else I wanted to try, but I said I was good. We had to leave soon anyway because we had a train to catch home.
On the way out Papa bought me an awesome Hello Kitty bubble wand! As you can see I loved it!
That was a wonderful experience at USJ! I had a great time! Thank you, Nana and Papa!
