As I type this I am sat on an American Airlines flight to Turks and Caicos, woohhoooo. I must say it is a much nicer experience than the last flight we boarded, which I still haven’t got over fully.
Yesterday we spend a scorching hot day at Universal Orlando and had a fantastic time. We arrived bright and early armed with express passes, which are good for most of the rides with the exception of 1 or 2 Harry Potter rides.
As soon as the park opened we headed straight to Hogsmeade and OMG I thought I was going to cry when I arrived. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Harry Potter so this for me was a huge thing. Chris kept laughing at me I was like a giddy child. It really is Harry Potter heaven.
It feels like you have been transported into the world of Harry Potter, so magical and so very authentic right from the snow on the rooms at Hogsmeade to the hustle and bustle of Diagon Alley. If I am honest we looked around it all, did all the rides and loved every minute of it, the rides were just so incredible. But I need to go back to spend longer taking in the atmosphere, looking at every little detail.
In all we had such a great day, we all just loved Universal, I have so much more to share about our day but I just couldn’t wait to show these two HarryPotter Pictures.
We don’t do Universal that often but we went on last years visit because we really wanted to see the new Harry Potter area plus the Hogwarts Express.
It’s really cool isn’t it? Universal have been making a lot of effort on their parks the last few years, and it really shows. We’ll probably be making more of an effort on future visits to fit Universal in more frequently now as we enjoyed it so much. Certainly more often than 10 years which was the last time we went, hehe.
By the way, not sure if the upload failed, but you mentioned two photos but I only see one. Just figured I’d mention it in case you didn’t realise 🙂
Thanks Penny yes need to check that as I posted two, and Harry Potter. wow, wow, wow i am so a fan so for me it was just so exciting x
We have always been huge fans of Disney – My first trip was when I was 5 and I have been so many times. The last time we went was 2010 and I LOVED Harry Potter world. SO much fun. So glad you are having a great time lovely. Have been enjoying your updates. I cannot wait to take the girls. Saving already! Such a magical place. Xxxx
Ah thanks lovely, oh wow you will be able to do all the Princess stuff with the girls, I don’t get to do all that. But would not swap the boys for the world , bless them x
Eek! Harry Potter!! I would be so excited too, it must be amazing to see it all but slightly strange in the sun 🙂 I’d be just happy to sit and look at everything there xx
Yes it was slightly strange but so so exciting I felt so giddy like a child when I was there x
Me and Matt are such huge Harry Potter fans, I would love it so much.
Oh you will, it is like being in Harry Potter heaven x
Oh My Goodness!!! I’m literally drooling at all your holiday posts Sarah, I’m so desperate to take the girls to Florida so that they can experience all of this. We’ve only seen the first Harry Potter film so far (Lili’s only 5) but she did love it. xxx
Harry Potter World is just amazing I felt emotional when I walked into it, I just loved it, our boys love the films but I am such a Potter geek they have grown up with it x
