Good Eating Outside of Theme Parks
Jakemeister replied to cfc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For just Universal Orlando Resort I would recommend the locally owned chain of KeKe's. KeKe's They have absolutely delicious breakfast and I'm sure the other Orlando locals can agree with that statement. There is one in Dr. Phillips maybe 10 minutes from Universal with traffic, but probably closer to about 7 if you don't get caught by every light. It's honestly just really good and you're not going to be paying much more than Denny's, or IHOP. It ultimately is comparable to First Watch. As far as dinner/late night Junior Colombian Burger is literally right across the street from Universal. It's just a little past Double Tree. For reference it is LITERALLY across from the McDonald's right by Universal. It has AMAZING burgers, fries and other fare. I highly recommend it and it's open really late. I don't think it closes till 4am. Junior Colombian Burger -
I cruised on NCL two years ago and really enjoyed it. It had it's faults, the food could have been better, but over all the service was pretty good. I found a bar that I really enjoyed with great servers who were cool with having a beer with you and just talking. The entertainment was very enjoyable for me as well, I greatly enjoyed what they did with their on-board itinerary and what they had to offer. My parents went on a Carnival Cruise more or less as a pre-cursor since they had never cruised before. They enjoyed the aspects of going to the Bahamas but both of them verbally expressed that they enjoyed their time spent on the Norwegian Jewel significantly more.

Erik & Smisty's Florida Oddventures
Jakemeister replied to Electerik's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've lived in Clermont for going on 4 years and I have no desire nor will I probably ever go to the Citrus Tower. To me it's just a landmark. -
I just got of the Norwegian Jewel yesterday and although it was my first cruise I really liked them. I want to try other cruise lines out now but I liked Norwegian. The entertainment on The Jewel was good, the food was okay, but the price we got for being Fl residents was pretty good. Around $370 for 7 days. For that price the gripes I had were over look able and as I said I enjoyed the ship. As far as dining goes, as I said it's okay. The food although not bad is not great. I've had far worse food on vacation. The bar city concept is great, and for anyone cruising with people from the age of 18-20 NCL lets them drink wine and beer with parental consent and lets them gamble as well. I'll return to NCL for that reason probably over every thing else. I really like that since I'm not legally allowed to in the U.S. I really like the entertainment on board. The two comedians they had were great, and the group game shows were fun. I know other cruise lines have just as good entertainment but I was pleasantly surprised by NCL's in particular.

The last time I was at Atl's Airport there was a sign just like that said and I quote "Helen Keller could only see possibilities." I couldn't stop myself from laughing hysterically.

You might be a roller coaster fanatic if...
Jakemeister replied to BarryH's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
-Often people visiting ask for you to play tour guide at your home park -You want a job as a tour guide at your home park and know that the class will come easier for you considering that you already know half the info -You have ever dreamed of working for B&M -When you found out you were moving to Orlando you were more excited about getting an AP to Universal than the great weather -On the day you planned to go to an Orlando park you find out there is a massive traffic on I-4 but suck it up and drive there anyways because you have to get your fix -You go to the thrift store just to see if they have shirts from the parks on sale -You have successfully found a shirt for less than 3 bucks of one of your favorite rides at the thrift store -You keep shirts from you 1st theme park visit and still have them -
Robb & Jahan Go To White Castle
Jakemeister replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Lol understandable. White Castle is better frozen I think, the other ones make you feel like hell, but then again so does KFC and all other fast food. -
Robb & Jahan Go To White Castle
Jakemeister replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's just as greasy as it is in every other state. Extremely overrated there also. Here are some good places to grub up in the South. Andy's Burgers has some of the best burgers I have had in a while. I haven't found a chain in FL that can match them. Steak N' Shake is the closest and it's no comparison. Bojangles has some of the best chicken and biscuits I have ever had in my life. When in NC, and SC you have to get Bojangles atleast once. -
I'd guess that the coaster could only "plus" HHN as there would be two coasters to ride instead of only one. I was referring to how much they could do in the sound stages in construction. I know they are building a storage facility that basically will be a Carnage Warehouse but can hold two houses but with the new Starbuck's and Disaster we are down a possible two house locations and at least a confirmed one.

I love the idea but despise the name. It looks cool, exciting, and innovative, plus it's at my home park. It is a Maurer X Media Coaster. The theme seems bland but the only thing it's going to have to do with youtube is your "video". My biggest concern is could this affect the greatest thing ever....HHN?

Photo TR: It Came From Wes's Closet
Jakemeister replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wes I have been trying to find a IoA Soundtrack for ages now. They don't sell them anywhere. I've tried eBaY, multiple IoA/USF fan sites, there impossible to find a new copy of. The only thing I haven't tried is contacting Universal.....hm....just maybe? Lol, I like the Alpengeist poster by the way, and it still amazes me how Universal has such awesome Special Event shirts but has the most atrocious shirts for Dragons. -

Jakemeister replied to carolinacaniac's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Good picture trip report. I loved the school picture with the caption just like being back in NC. Made me laugh being the Eastern North Carolinian I am. Where you only at the park for a day?
