Our last stop towards the south was Orlando Florida. Being the dorks that we are, we wanted to stop and see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The evening before we found the Disney Boardwalk for dinner and hanging out with Ade. There was a dueling piano bar, which was a lot of fun, but played a lot of older music.
The next day we got up early and fought against the tide of children and middle schoolers to go to Universal Islands of Adventure. Harry Potter World was awesome! There's a Hogsmeade! And a replica castle!
In the castle are all sorts of items from the movies and characters that speak to the lines of people waiting for rides. The screens they used to show the characters were pretty awesome and made them look just like people who were coming through curtains.
There were characters dressed up in costumes and a replica of the train.
We even got to sample butterbeer (liquid and frozen) at The Three Broomsticks and the Hog's Head!
We also did rides all over the park, at Jurassic Park, the Marvel section had a Spiderman and Hulk ride, and a couple of water rides. All in all, it was a good adventure at Universal.
That night we happened to find a Jamaican restaurant for dinner with live music, so we ordered a sampler platter, some plantains, and enjoyed a relaxing evening.

Harry Potter world looks so fun! Was the butterbeer just as good as people say?
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty delicious! Kind of like cream soda. Best part was you could get it cold or frozen, and frozen was wonderful...
