Day 3 – Prior Engagements 29/11/11

I bought a 12 pack of dr pepper for $5, which at home is $25!

Yesterday we got up early to get the 7:30 shuttle to universal studios. The islands of adventure, where harry potter world is, was amazing, there is so much detail to everything. On our way in we saw a few squirrels running around! We went straight to harry potter world, and had a look around, then got some breakfast at the three broomsticks, this is where the magical proposal happened.

After that we kept looking around the park. At the start of the day it didn’t seem that there were that many people there, but once we finished brekkie there seemed to be a lot more however, we only waited about 5 minutes to get on rides, the only thing we waited awhile for was ollivanders, where someone has a wand chosen for them like in the first harry potter, we waited about half an hour for it and it probably wasn’t worth it, but oh well.

They have a few simulator rides, which are really good, the Simpsons one felt very close to being on a real roller coaster. Harry Potter one was awesome too. We went on all the roller coasters. I had some lunch at a diner, another burger, Chloe didn’t feel hungry.

At the end of the day we went back to make our purchases at harry potter world, a couple of wands, necklaces, Chloe bought a jumper and a chocolate frog from the movie, I bought a Gryffindor scarf and tie and a stein with a lid. it was only 6pm by then, the park was closing, but our shuttle didn’t leave until 7:30, so we had dinner at hard rock cafe. I had a delicious steak while Chloe had salmon, we also had a drink each in a hard rock cafe glass which we then got to keep (they gave us new ones on the way out). Completely shattered from a huge day I fell asleep on the bus! We went to our room and slept.

Today we are catching the shuttle going to Epcot, which is one of the worlds of Disneyworld.
