My scores for this trip. Didn't manage to break my high score for Midway Mania and did best on my first ride. I think I need to ride with someone to light the competitive fire in me lmao

Buzz Lightyear got a refurb so that the blasters are no longer mounted to the vehicle themselves (like Disneyland's version) but also aiming and confirmation of hits is a lot clearer so it's easier to get a better score.

Not pictured since it's not the easiest to get photos of, Mario Kart at Nintendo World: scores of 135 and 129

We ended up closing out Epic Universe every single night of the Universal leg of our trip lmao

Islands of Adventure had a comics and cartoons themed water ride area that was a lil funky but cute. We went back to Dark Universe to have dinner at Das Steakhaus including brisket meatloaf and a red velvet death.

Got over to Dark Universe as it grew dark and rain clouds rolled in for the perfect atmosphere. Frankenstein's Experiment was hands down my favorite ride at the park. A whole lotta fun and a fantastic queue to boot.

A quick shot of some of the Celestial Park lit up near closing and in the rain.

More Nintendo land from day one. Found most of the pikmin in the mushroom kingdom but didn't notice any in the queues or on the rides. Maybe next time.

Had the pizza bowl at the Toadstool Cafe as well as garlic knots I could've drowned myself in and some of the Princess Peach cake.

Day one: Epic Universe including the Isle of Berk and Nintendo Land.

Ended up with the second highest score in our kart coming in with just *one* coin less than my brother >:(

Kind of sort of day one... day zero? at Universal. Dinner at the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium.

A mint milkshake (not mine), chocolate macadamia cherry cocktail, and totchos.
