So far while we weren’t in sessions, we were able to find time to visit some Orlando attractions.

I got to go to Hogwarts! That was amazing! We visited the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida. We were able to tour Hogwarts and see some of the pieces of the actual set as well as go on the simulation ride which was awesome. The dementors and the spiders were kind of creepy, just saying. I to to try butter beer, not actually alcoholic of course, from the Harry Potter movie.

Here are some more photos from Potterville

Also at Universal we went on the Mummy roller coaster. I am not a fan of roller coasters at all, so when I say that I went on one, it’s a big deal. It wasn’t so bad! Jaws was our next stop which I went on when I was little. It was very similar to what I remember from when I was 6, it just wasn’t as scary. Men In Black should have been the next highlight, but the ride broke down before we were able to get in line. Simpsons was the final ride, which was amazingly done. I am pretty sure that our car was mostly stationary, it was just pivoted to match the screen in front and above us. But I was really well done, the screen was huge and the ride almost seemed realistic.

I am looking forward to Disney later in the week.

 

Ta ta for now.
