Christmas Trip Part 1 - Universal Studios!!!!

12-22-18 We left early Saturday morning for Orlando, Florida!!!!  Jacen is still fascinated by the planes.  He focused on the loading and unloading of the luggage.  Once we arrived in Orlando, we rode the Magical Express to Pop Century Resort at Walt Disney World.
12-23-18 On Sunday morning we Ubered over to Universal Studios to spend time at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!  We spent all day in the two Harry Potter areas!  Thanks to Kaci Scott for our awesome shirts!  We had a blast this day!
We started our morning in Diagon Alley at Harry Potter and The Escape from Gringotts ride!
Then we headed over to King's Cross Station to ride the Hogwarts Express over to Hogsmeade!
We started our fun in Hogsmeade on the Flight of the Hippogriff ride!
Then it was on to the castle to ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey!
Professor Dumbledore talking
Harry, Ron and Hermione talking to us as well
The Fat Lady portrait
The Sorting Hat
Once we rode the three rides, it was time to explore around Hogsmeade!
Lunch at the Three Broomsticks with Butterbeer of course!

Jacen wanted new robes and a scarf for Christmas, so of course we let him have it early to wear today!  He bought himself a new wand!
We rode the Hogwarts Express back over to Diagon Alley to explore there.
Knight Bus
Gringott's Money Exchange
We rode the train back to Hogsmeade again!
We did the wand experience here as well like we did in California, but Jacen wasn't picked this time.
They had a neat Light Show on the castle!
While Ubering back to our hotel, Kyle caught this picture!
