We were pumped to get to go to Universal Studios. Jared, Dad and myself had not seen the new Harry Potter section or the Hogwarts Express and we were not disappointed!
We started our day in Islands of Adventure for early park admission!
Everyone's excited!
Hello Sorting Hat!
We then hopped on the Hogwarts Express and made our way over to Diagon Alley!
We met Stan Shunpike!
I was so excited because I got chosen to do the wand selection at Olivanders! It was truly magical and I got a 16" wand made out of oak with a core of Dragon Heartstring. It was also an interactive wand which is what we were shopping for in the first place! So we then made our way around Diagon Alley trying out our magic skills!
Practicing our magic!
The Gringotts ride was down when we arrived but re-opened after a few hours. We were so excited to see inside!
Man that dragon is impressive!
Hey look! It's a goblin!
We did lunch at the Leaky Cauldron!
Once we meandered around Diagon Alley for a while, we finally made it to the rest of the park. :)
Mom's turing into a Minion!
We then went back to Hogsmeade before we had to leave the park!
I'm going to the Hogwarts Express!
Next on the agenda was attending the expo and picking up our packets for the race!
All ready!
The best part of arriving at our hotel was the "private" viewing of Wishes from our balcony!
In case pictures aren't enough, there's this thing called YouTube that has all the videos from our vacation!
