The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Along with going to Disney. Chris and I were able to go to the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort. We left Hayden with Chris' dad and family, while we spent a day living in Harry Potter's world. It was so exciting, my dream come true! The rides were spectacular so we rode them several times throughout the day. Our favorite one was the ride through Hogwarts. We also visited Olivander's wand shop. They take in a small group at a time and do a little show of the wand choosing the person just like in the movie. They only choose two people per group and we were the ones chosen! I couldn't have been happier. So we had to do "spells" with wands until we found the "right" one for us. We had a lot of fun and bought the wands that "chose" us. It was such a fun day and I'm happy that I was able to spend it with my best friend.

We ate lunch at the Three Broomsticks. We had some Butterbeer which tasted like cream soda with a butter flavor and cream. It was absolutely delicious!!
