December 2022 Part 7 - Universal Studios

12-27-22 For our last day in Florida we ventured over to Universal Studios and Island of Adventure, so we could go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!  Since we were staying at Disney we did not get to go in early, so it was already crowded by the time we got there!!  We started out in Island of Adventure in Hogsmeade, so Kyle and I could ride Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.  The line was crazy long, so we waited 2 hours!!  It was wonderful, but wow that was a long line!  We took some pics while waiting in line.  Jacen waited with us for a while, and then he went and looked around Hogsmeade.  He loves to shop!

Next up we waited in another long line for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.  Jacen again walked in line with us, so he could see the inside of the castle, but didn't want to ride it again even though he rode it 4 years ago, so he got to shop some more!

Then we ate lunch at the Three Broomsticks like we did 4 years ago!

Next up, we rode Flight of the Hippogriff which Jacen decided to ride with us!

Then we rode the Hogwarts Express from Hogsmeade station to Kings Cross Station.  The line for this was also 2 hours!

We walked around Diagon Alley where Kyle got some wizarding money and Jacen got some wands!  We decided not to wait in the 3 hour line for Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts.  

We took some final Universal Pics before heading back to the hotel.
