Harry Potter Land

A couple of weeks ago, Jon had an NCTE conference(National Convention of Teachers of English or something like that). It was in Florida at the Disney World Resort. I thought maybe I should go with him. My parents took the kids from Wednesday to Sunday, which was pretty long, I have a hard time leaving them. We felt weird going to Disney World without the kids so instead we spent a day at Universal Studios to see Harry Potter Land. I don't think it's really called that but that's what I call it. It was really fun to walk around and do a roller coaster here and there. The main Harry Potter ride in the Hogwarts Castle was pretty amazing.

This is the scene when you first walk into the park, not the main park but the Harry Potter part of the park. It was 70 degrees that day so the snow definitely is fake.


There was a dragon roller coaster that was crazy, I could barely walk when I got off. I think I may be getting a little old for some rides.

We did all the rides twice and them explored the rest of the park then decided to go back to Harry Potter Land for lunch. I'm glad we did. We ate at the "Three Broomsticks". It was cool. We both had two butterbeers and felt a little sick afterwards. They are non-alcoholic by the way. It tasted like cream soda and then they added something like cream to the top that was really good and really sweet.


The lighting was pretty bad in this place so I'm not going to post the picture of me in this restaurant, but I'll post Jon. We brought back the kids some jellybeans that really had flavors like "ear wax, dirt, vomit" and some normal ones like apple and cherry. They ate all the gross ones first and left the normal ones. They said dirt really tasted like dirt. They tried to get me to try some but I was not interested at all.

The rest of the week Jon went to meetings and I scrapbooked, watched Alias season 1, and read a book. It was nice.
