Universal Studios, Days 1 & 2

We went to Universal in mid-February to FINALLY make it to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.


Day 1 - We left Chicago at 10 degrees and landed in Orlando to a sunny, windy mid-50s day. It was jacket weather but nice!


Our hotel - Cabana Bay. We stayed in a suite. The hotel was about a 15 minute meandering walk to the park entrance, so we did a lot of walking back and forth.






We did some shopping and snooped around in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.

Entering Diagon Alley:
Sara cried when she saw it for the first time. She was SO excited!!!!





We pooped out early that evening because we'd been up since about 3 a.m.

Day 2 - We headed to the parks about mid-morning, rode some rides; ate; rode some more rides; took an afternoon nap; went back to the parks for the evening

And this little piece of "flare" was magical...we got bumped to the front of a few lines; lots of people wished her happy birthday. She had a pretty great day!


 We had lunch at Breadbox Sandwich Company. Good food!!!!
