There’s a lot of great Easter eggs in the Fast and Furious queue, including the Trophy Case in the single rider line. Most people don’t take the single rider line and often miss some of these unique details. There are references to “Harry Potter”, “Back to the Future”, and more.

It doesn’t get much better out here. This might be a good time to walk over to Islands of Adventure and see what’s happening over there.

It doesn’t seem as crowded over here at Islands of Adventure, but maybe most people are just hiding indoors. That sun is intense today!

Green Eggs and Ham has updated their menu with Vegan Tots and Carnitas Tots. We decided to give the Carnitas Tots a try and they did not disappoint. You can watch our video review below.

It’s nice to see Seuss Landing getting much needed maintenance. There are still a lot of things in the area that need some serious refurbishment, though.
