Universal Studios

On our last day in Orlando we spent the day at Universal Studios - Islands of Adventure. I really wanted to see the new Harry Potter section and it did not disappoint.

We started in the Marvel area. The Hulk rollercoaster was a blast.

Then on to the Spiderman 3-D ride. Our 3-D glasses are so hot.

Jurassic Park was awesome. It was amazing how as soon as you left one section and entered the next you were completely immersed.

Seriously - so cheesy!

Look I'm at Hogwarts!


The butterbeer was sooooo yummy! We each had 2 glasses full.

Yum Yum

The Hogwarts Express

Isn't is just beautiful?

Next was Seussland....the entire time I just kept thinking how much Luke would love this section. He's a huge Dr. Seuss fan


I think my favorite ride was the Harry Potter dragon ride - although I really loved the ride that takes you through Hogwarts and you are on a flying school bench. The longest line we waited in was the Flight of the Hippogriff and was totally not worth the wait - unless we had little kids with us. It was a little short and too family friendly for the time we spent in line. I can't believe how much fun I had spending the day at an amusement park just Todd and I - no-one cried, we could spend as much or little time doing things as we wanted and it was so much fun to spend so much quality time together.
