It was Paul's day off and after some hair removing lotion to the body and his toes dried, he dressed up as Paula in a white T-shirt, blue shorts and white sandals. His toe nails painted a hot pink. On that day his Uncle Ryan and his family was going to Universal Studios and asked if Paul wanted to go along. Always wanted to go a female, Paula jumped at the chance.
Fixing up everything she needed in her hip pack, Paula joined the group in their gray mini van and drove a hour long drive to the park, making it without a problem and only talking about how much fun their going to have. Paula got a new experience of feeling the shoulder seat going across his breast forms and how uncomfortable that really is.
Getting in the garage complex, the group made sure to take note they were in the 400 section of E.T. and locked the van up. Paula watched her Uncle in his blue stripe shirt, shorts and sneakers pick up his six year old cousin Annette, who was also dressed all in blue, and carried her on his shoulders. Her nine year old male cousin; all in gray, ran ahead while her Aunt in purple went trailed with Paula behind.
They hadn't decided which of the two parks to go until they had reached the entrance and then decided to head over the Adventure part of the park. Paula chuckled as her Uncle kept commenting on not seeing a ticket booth, yet feeling like they were already inside.
"Anyone need to go?" Uncle Ryan asked as they passed a restroom area. Paula didn't have to go and waited while the others all went inside. Ryan and James came out from and when James commented: What's taken so long?"
Ryan replied, "Get use to it. It always takes women forever in the bathroom."
Paula couldn't help but glared at the guys on the rude comment, but chuckle when the aunt came out and said that Annette shoes weren't the only thing on backwards. Her underwear was on wrong too."
Finally they got to the gate and Paula got out her Visa and Florida idea for a discount to get in as she paid her own way. They were finally inside the park itself.
"Where should we hit first?" Ryan asked.
"My family hit the water rides first so we'd be dry by the end of the day." Paula suggested as Ryan notice so many people with park maps that wasn't given at the ticket booth. They waited while Ryan went to sale today and got a map.
"Lets go to Dr. Seuse Landing for the kids first." Ryan said as we all headed for that end of the park. Along the way a woman with a camera stepped out between them from a photo shop. Snapping Paula picture, she handed her a card and said it would be ready in 2hrs.
"Thanks." Paula said hoping her hair and expression was okay. Since her Uncle like to stay till closing she was sure to see a parks fireworks display for a change.
"What do we hit first?" Uncle Ryan asked.
Annette pointed the Merry- Go- Round and we all stood in line. The lines seemed to move slower than Paula remember the last time from trips to Universal or Disney. Finally they got on. Ryan helped the kids onto funny animals to ride and sat with Paula in a funny that so he could keep and eye on his daughter.
After that it was off to ONE FISH, BLUE FISH plane ride. Paula notice some of the little boys in their bathing suits, teenage girls wearing shorts and tops so small part of their bikini poked out and mothers wearing shorts over the bottom of their one piece suits. The line seemed also this time notice those cutting ahead of them. After a few comments with those in the second line of what was going on they learned of an EXPRESS TICKET to cut to the front of the line. Paula didn't think it was fair to everyone else and learned the tickets could be found at booths in the park not the ticket office.
After getting off the ride where Paula enjoyed the water spray in the face as the fish plane bobbed up and down, they went to express and bought ticket for the one ride they didn't go on yet. They then went to lunch since it took 2hrs for 2 rides without the express tickets.
They went to one of the ticket centers in the park and found they were free but for certain times. They were for only one other ride in that section of the park. The circus food court had a ring master performing while they ate.
Everyone but Paula's Aunt went on. Paula always thought this ride spun better than any tilt-a- whirl. The express entrance took them to the front loading area without any wait in line. Got right on and off without a problem deciding to get other express before the rides of a section.
Moving on toward Jurassic Park through the Lost Continent, they picked up tickets for Dueling Dragons, Flying Unicorn and Neptune Adventure. On the way they saw Beetle Bailey, Popeye and other characters doing a limbo dance and playing with a blow up beach ball with the audience. Paula caught the ball and tossed it back to them. When they notice no line for Neptune when they passed it and decided to forget the tickets and went right in.
It was only a short wait inside and everyone but Annette enjoyed it. All the fire, crash waves and light flashes to pitch blackness really scared her something awful. Everyone else had a real good time about it and moved on to Jurassic Park where they got tickets for River Adventure and dinosaur encounter before they headed for the playground.
As Paula's aunt and uncle rested on a rock, Paula decided to go some good pictures from different angles in the playground. She climbed all through caves and up to the top of the tower where she got good shots of the river adventure and the hang glider type Dinosaur ride. Also notice a lot of the girls and guys in their bathing suits sunning themselves on the rocks while he took many shots of the park itself before returning with no sign of the kids.
Finding they had not returned Paula went back in looking through the dark caves. Areas on the ground made dinosaur roaring noises, but there wasn't any sign of them. With her Aunt's help, they went back in and found them in a wet water spray area.
They had to drag Annette out of the play area crying as she wanted to stay. Deciding to stop for drinks Paula got a T- Rex drink cup. They headed back across the park to the Dueling Dragons; which Ryan went on alone while everyone else watched. It seemed like quite a wait even for express for him to get on and off. None of them could see him on the ride.
It was the on to the Flying Unicorn roller coaster and Paula and enjoyed more. Especially with the breast forms glued to her chest making it a new experience. Since the Aunt stayed off again, she asked how it was and found Annette crying something awful. Seemed she thought it was going to be a nice train ride and not a old fashion roller coaster. The type one stopped seeing around 1970s.
With time to wait we all headed through Cartoon Lagoon and bought tickets for the Popeye water ride and even though Paula wanted to go on the Dudley Do-right saw ride, the others though 2 water rides were enough and hit the shops.
Paula enjoyed checking the jewelry and stuff as a girl, even if she didn't find anything she liked. A nice mug with her name on it and checked sizes for shirts with a picture of a girl body in a bikini on front and back of it. She also so a Popeye shirt with Olive keeping Bluto and Popeye apart while shouting "MEN" only not in her size. She did notice rain ponchos for sale that reminded her how wet some of the water rides got. Also saw some cartoon character pajamas that looked nice but was too expensive. The mugs where the biggest problem. With ones saying PAUL and PAULA it was hard to choose. With the others ready to leave it was too late to pick one.
"Still have plenty of time before the express tickets." Ryan said, asking for suggestions.
"How about the Spider-man adventure?" Paula suggested as the kids cheered. They headed for Super Hero Land when they came across a stadium area with a sign. One the way Paula notice a lot of other guests taking their shoes off to rub their sore feet, some getting wet in Toon Lagoon spray areas and others resting in the shady rock areas. More and more of them in bathing suits rather than clothes.
"Look!" Paula's aunt pointed. A station was surrounded by banners of cartoon characters. "Anyone know what time it is?"
"Yes." Paula said as she looked at her watch and found the stage show started in five minutes. Not knowing what Extreme was, they went inside and sat down. The stadium was almost empty on their side and a worker was roping the lower area off.
With a cartoon sound, Woody Woodpecker zoomed out on a scooter into the audience and then went off stage with a crashing noise. Then a series of real roller blade, bike and skateboard experts came out onto the ramps and did the most amazing ramp tricks one could imagine. Paula was upset since the toon character posters outside made her think it was going to be a cartoon review.
Going to Super hero land they found the express ticket for spider-man down and the line too long to bother. They decided to head back and as it was almost time for the dinosaur encounter. They went through that with Annette saying she wanted to pet the dinosaur until she saw it and changed her mind.
It wasn't as good as they thought and stayed in the playground until it was time for the Dueling Dragon ride. Paula herself removed her shoes, flex her polish toes and rubbed her sore feet. Then one the way to Dueling Dragons they stopped at a stand. The others got new drinks while Paula refilled her T-rex cup.
After waiting for Ryan to get off, they didn't find out until they got there that Annette was too short for the ride and her Aunt stayed off with her while Paula and the guys went on. Following her Uncle, he lead them the wrong way along the express path and had to back track before finally getting on the ride.
Getting right on, Paula was told to buckle up and Paula said she would right after her items were packed away. She didn't want anything to happen to her camera or the post cards she got while shopping. She was just glad her mother wasn't along this time to comment on how lucky males are to be able to take off their shirts on water sides.
Going through the wettest ride in the park, Paula enjoyed watching her wet breasts sticking through the shirt though she didn't enjoy having the feeling of the water that washed down her shorts. Since her male cousin was also soaked, while going back to the playground, he decided not to join Ryan and Paula on the river adventure after all.
Ryan and Paula went right inside the adventure ride that started out in darkness and passing several mechanical dinosaurs the popped out at you. Then up like a roller coaster and to the top of the tower. They continue from one area to another until they approached a roaring T Rex and dropped several stories out of the building and into a splash down at the end of the ride. Being in the back seats they didn't get wet at all.
It was a good thing Annette was too short since she would of been scared.
With that done they checked Spider-man out and there was still a 60 minute wait. With it getting dark. Ryan mentioned wanting to go on the Hulk coaster. We wouldn't go so Ryan suggested we hit The Cat in the Hat. That line was also too long. So it was back to shopping.
Paula checked out some How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Cat In the Hat shirts. Found an X-large that would fit and saw some mark small that looked more like a large. The ones she liked wasn't XX like she normally bought herself incase of shrinkage.
Feeling hungry we looked for some place to eat but all the food places were closed or closing. They were upset and thought of stopped at McDonalds on the way home. They then saw The Cat in the Hat ride had no ride and all went on it this time.
Afterwards they were heading out when the saw zero waiting on Spiderman. Since Paula's male cousin wanted to go on so much, she took him in line while Ryan went on The Hulk coaster and the others waited.
They went in quite far to a large room with a screen showing a Spider-man cartoon. It seemed to be taking forever to get inside. After awhile some families got tired of waiting and left through the emergency exits. Paula wanted to leave also but Justin wanted to stay. They both enjoyed finally getting on it.
When they got off they found the others had been waiting a long time and gotten pizza. They saved them a slice to eat on the way out. They only had to wait for Paula to stop at the photo center and pick up the picture taken of her at the being of her journey in the park. Paula didn't like how the bangs in her hair had so many spaces between them, but was told how lovely she looked as they left.
The kids slept in the back seat as they started to follow the first Ron Jon sign back home. Somehow; getting turn around, they ended up heading for Miami and Daytona Beach instead. What should of been an hour trip home was 2 and half hours. Instead getting home at midnight it was 1:30am they got home and 2 am before Paula was ready to go to sleep to go into work at 10am the next day. As she settled in for a good night sleep, she recalled how wonderful they day had been.
