This is an overdue post. But I've been meaning to write about our trip to Orlando and just have not had the time to do it. A few weeks ago, I went with my boyfriend and some of our work friends on a great trip to Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando, FL. I had not been to Disney in several years and it had been at least 15 years since my last visit to Universal Studios. Both parks delivered and we had a blast!
KP did a great job with the driving - we took a straight shot drive from work on Thursday arriving after midnight at a beautiful 5 or 6 bedroom house minutes from the Magic Kingdom. We had a cute little room on the first floor and mentally, for a minute, this was MY house and I was a millionaire living by Disney World (seriously, what could be better than that?)
Our first day was spent at Universal Studios. Now I am a total "muggle", but I have to say - Harry Potter delivered!!! We went to both parks (Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios) and both Harry Potter exhibits were really great. If I had to pick the Harry Potter exhibit I liked the best, it would have been Islands of Adventure though. You can't beat flying quidditch! I also love love LOVED seeing the Back to the Future memorabilia.
Disney World was of course magical!! I love Disney. I had no trouble saying "no" to souvenirs at Universal Studios - but at Disney- all bets were off! We had an amazing day exploring the Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot, and then back to the Magic Kingdom. And of course - being with someone special made it all the better. Orlando - you delivered!!
