Orlando Vacation Day 5 ~ Universal Studios


We made it!



The Knight Bus:


Visiting 12 Grimmauld Place, I couldn't get a photo of it, but you can see Kreacher's face poking out the window from time to time.



Waiting to meet Ollivander.


This is about 30 seconds before everything went sideways:


So, this dragon was amazing.  Unfortunately, it took us all by surprise and Cecily was NOT prepared.


Afterward, any time we suggested going back to Diagon Alley, Cecily had a look on her face similar to this:



We got our magic wands!


Cecily couldn't handle being anywhere near the Gringott's dragon, so we loaded onto the Hogwart's Express and headed over to Hogsmead.











Parker wouldn't even talk about going on a roller coaster, so he & Keith wandered around Hogsmead while Cecily & I waited for the Flight of the Hippogriff.







Once we were done with the ride, the kids were ready for food, we headed over to Seuss-ville for lunch.


I'm pretty sure this is their favorite part of the day.


We took the carousel twice, and the Cat in the Hat story ride was hands-down favorite ride with the kiddos.






We needed a break from the crowds, so we went just outside the park for some sushi, it was a nice break from all the burgers and pizza we're having this trip.




8:30 pm - totally appropriate time for a doughnut


That's King's Cross station across the water.


Our kids know nothing about the Simpsons, but they still really wanted a photo with this guy.



One last ride on the way out of the park.



10:25 pm - Heading back to the condo, I think we might have killed them.
