McKenna and I were very excited for this stop! Our first day of vacation we got up and headed to Universal Studios Orlando! The weather was beautiful and the park wasn't crowded so we didn't have to stand in lines! Yay!
We went straight to Diagon Alley. It was awesome! Our first stop was Ollivanders where we went to a wand choosing of a little girl and then we picked out our wands.
After that we headed to Gringotts bank. There was no line for the ride, so we walked through the bank (which is amazing) and checked out the architecture and the goblins. Then we went on the "Escape from Gringotts" ride, which turned out to be my favorite ride there.
We explored Diagon Alley and checked out the shops like Quiddith Supplies, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, Knockturn Alley and more. Then we got Butterbeer at the Leaky Cauldron and headed to King's Cross Station to ride the Hogwarts Express to Hogsmeade.
After walking through Hogsmeade, we went to the Hogwarts Castle. Again, no line for the ride! We walked through the castle and watched the photographs move and talk to us and each other. Then we rode "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey". After this ride we walked over to Jurassic Park and there went on the river ride. It was great and felt so good to get wet!
After checking out Jurassic Park, we walked back to Hogsmeade and explored the village. We had lunch at The 3 Broomsticks and visited The Owl Post and Honeydukes. We caught the Hogwarts Express at the Hogsmeade Station and went back to Diagon Alley. We got caught in a downpour which cleared the streets of people and filled it with puddles in minutes. It was great!
We went over to the Transformers 3D ride which is where we encountered our first real line with a wait of about 25 minutes. After that we rode the Jimmy Fallon ride, which was not a favorite...
Before leaving the park we went on the Minion Mayhem ride!
We were exhausted and it was everything we could do to get ourselves back to the car! We wore ourselves out having such an amazing day!
The next day we went back and rode the Forbidden Journey and the Jurassic Park rides again and had a more relaxing day exploring the park after having lunch at the Burger Digs.
We also went back on our last day of the trip before heading to the airport where we spent most of our time in Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade and had lunch at the Leaky Cauldron.
McKenna and I LOVED Harry Potter World and Universal.
We walked through Comic land and Suess Land too.
