Disney World Part I

In October my friends invited me to crash their roommate party to Disney World!  Three of us flew in early and got the car, checked in to our condo, and got some groceries. 

This was the awesome sunset we had to welcome us when we first got to Orlando.

Later that night we went back to the airport and picked up our other friends who had to work and were on a later flight. 

We had a guest to welcome us to our condo our first night there!

 Our first day we went to Universal studios so we could go to Harry Potter world.  

What an amazing place! It was so cool to feel like you were actually at Hogwarts and in the town.

I love all the little details - like the witch outside the women's bathroom!

And the actual costumes worn in the movies.

My first taste of butterbeer!

 After going on all the rides in Harry Potter world, and getting our butterbeers, we were off to explore the rest of Universal Studios.  It was super hot - so we found a water ride and got SOAKED!!  I was so happy!

 

They even have people dryers outside the ride - I didn't use it - I was glad to be a little cooled off.

The only really busy part of the park was Harry Potter World, the rest of the park was pretty dead and we were able to walk on most of the rides - I had to take a picture of the empty ride in Dr. Seuss land. 

 Thing 1, Thing 2, and the Cat in the Hat

 We took a little ride on the Star Bellied Sneetches train.

Then we headed back to the Three Broomsticks for dinner - fish and chips and more butterbeer - a perfect meal! 

It was fun to see all the little shops in Hogsmeade lit up at night.  

 

Our condo had a HUGE jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom. 

We were all too tired to go down to the hot tub, so we soaked our feet in the jacuzzi and had an early night so we could be up early for our next adventure.
