Unofficial PKI Vortex Trip Report

Featured Replies

An unofficial trip report of PKI Vortex trip to Orlando on Vacation, submitted by Avatar.

This is a travel log of PKI Vortex’s memorable events leading up to and while on vacation.

Some may be unaware that PKI Vortex has been work and saving his money to take a trip to Orlando and to add some coasters to his Coaster count totals. Everything was going fine with the planning until he got to exhausted from working to much over time over the holidays and he collapsed in his room one night.

His mother was so concerned about him being so exhausted and all alone on his trip that he agreed to take her with him.

When they arrived in Orlando they checked into their motel and because PKI Vortex insisted to have his mother in a separate room the motel manager told him that because of his tight budget that they could not have two rooms but that they would work something out and find her a place to sleep and they did!!

The motel also offered Bus transportation to all the area Parks, complete with aggressive panhandlers.

PKI Vortex wanted to have to have a Disney Character breakfast but found it to be too expensive for his budget, so he was very thrilled when he learned that Universal Studios was offering a economical self service interactive character breakfast too!!

file.jpg

They took in many of the shows and walked all around Universal Studios to take in all the sites. Now came the time for PKI Vortex to conjure up enough courage to ride the coasters that motivated him to save for his trip.

Unfortunately after riding his second coaster he was so frightened that he did have an accident.

file.jpg

They both continued on but after a lot of finger pointing from other guest they decided to leave for the day. PKI Vortex was so embarrassed and upset about his accident that he rode back to the motel drowning himself in pity.

file.jpg

Well he ended up falling off the wagon and went into hiding!

file.jpg

His mother was steaming mad.

file.jpg

So the next morning they decided to tone things down a bit and decided to attend Sea World. As I understand it PKI Vortex was still shaken from his previous day coaster experience and that he still wanted to add some numbers to his coaster count, so he asked his mother to take another proof picture of him riding a new coaster.

His mother was so embarrassed from him wildly screaming as he rode the Kiddy Samu coaster that she sneaked off . PKI Vortex was concerned for his mother so he went out on a park wide search to locate her, he told the dolphins to spread the word around about his lost mother.

file.jpg

He even recruited a Sea Lion to help him look and call for his mother.

file.jpg

Well sadly PKI Vortex was giving up when one of the sea creators told him that he should go to the Whale Show to get cheered up, Samu even tried to Inspire PKI Vortex by putting up a personal message for him to keep on believing that he could still find his mother.

file.jpg

About half way through the show PKI Vortex spotted his mother on the other side of the aquarium and the two whales helped reunite the two, for a mother/son family hug!

file.jpg

That was enough excitement for the day, so they returned back to the motel for the rest of the evening. His mother was not going to take anymore chances of him getting over exhausted, so she took preventive measures to make sure he got plenty of rest.

file.jpg

The next morning they decided that they would like to be a little spontaneous and to go to MGM Studious for the last park to attend during their trip. After a quick count of money they decided that they would need to sit through a time share spill to receive some discounted tickets. They took the tour and as they were going in to hear the salesmen spill, the salesman warned them that he will not finish his presentation if they use their hands to shield some of his selling points. In fact he walked them by some attendees that where still trying to hold out on him.

file.jpg

PKI Vortex did a great job shielding his senses from the sales spill without using his hands and was able to get out in record time of 90 minutes!

file.jpg

So off to MGM Studios for their last park experience. The next day it was time to depart and they where very happy that the stayed close to Universal because Universal doesn’t bus you to the airport like Disney does. Universal sends the plane to pick you up, right on site.

Part 2 of the unofficial trip report

Dinning;

They were told to experience some of the unique over the top restaurants around the Orlando area. So they decided on Boston Lobster for dinner one evening.

file.jpg

Unfortunately due to the wicked weather on the East Coast lately the price of lobster spiked and they were not able to purchase one of the advertised colossal lobsters. They were offered an alternative free dinner menu choice, called eat or be eaten. It offered you a chance that if you can catch it you eat it for free.

file.jpg

PKI Vortex mother was losing a lot of weight from not eating a lot so far during the trip so she took matters into her own hands.

file.jpg

Lets just say they ate well that evening and even offered another family to join them for dinner of the fresh catch of the day!
