Expecto Patronum! Liaisons with Universal!

Holy Cow! I Just spent possibly the best day of my life here in Florida! The day started early as we set out to find our way to Universal Studios. After an hour long bus ride on a random trolley that we discovered we entered the land of movies and super heros. First order of business: pay an arm and a leg for the season pass to said park and justify by stating that it will pay for itself with the number of visits made. After that very lengthy process we headed for the land of wonder and magic. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! I walked into Hogsmead and I almost stopped breathing. There it was, life size before me and so real. There is Zonkos and Honeydukes and The three broomsticks where we enjoyed butterbeer and fish and chips. It was so good and just like I had always imagined. The employees were dressed in elf costumes and were so much fun! The g-force started in with the Dragon challenge. It is a super fast, inverted, free feet ride. It was so much fun but man did I get off dizzy!
My favorite part was the trip through Hogwarts and the talking portraits and classrooms. There was so much to see that I was in constant sensory overload! This overload continued when we decided to walk a little and came upon the world of super heros. I thought I would die! There they were, the heros of my childhood: Captain America, Spiderman, Wolverine. I went nuts and had to take pictures with all of them. (Any views of Facebook will show that said pictures have taken over my disney album) :) The rides in this park were also amazing and crowned with the incredible hulk ride that blasts you from a canon and lots of other exciting things.

Over all, best day ever and I plan to be spending much of my time in these amazing worlds of make believe.
