The Wonderful World of Potter and Seuss

We could not be so close and not head to Universal for a day.  This was a day primarily for LB and myself - one full of Harry Potter and Dr. Seuss.  LB knew she wanted a wand and we had heard to go to the wand show just to see the magic (with the slightest chance she might be chosen to get the wand).  So, that is where we headed first!

 We stood in line and stood in line and stood in line, but in the end . . .  LB WAS CHOSEN!!!!

It was amazing and she was thrilled with her wand.  From there we all headed to the castle for a wonderful ride through the castle.  The kids LOVED it!!!! I was very worried that they wouldn't, but they did!  Inside the castle, as you waited for the ride, you saw all sorts of things from the movie! UNBELIEVABLE to say the least!

We also all had to have a taste of Butterbeer - tasted just like a melted butterscotch candy!  We all loved it!

The kids sent Owl Post to friends.  We walked through Honeydukes.  We went to the bathroom and heard Moaning Myrtle.  We even met the conductor for the Hogwarts Express!!!

It was everything I thought it would be and more! I would love to go back another time and spend more time in the shops, but it was great!! From there, we went to Dr. Seuss world and it was FABULOUS!!!

Ate lunch with the Grinch

and the Cat in the Hat
 Took a ride on the Caro-seuss-al.

Rode One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish again and again

I think Dr. Seuss would be proud.  From there we went to Marvel world to meet some super superheroes!

Wolverine, who Carter said looked like Dan Uggla - everything goes back to baseball with this boy!
 and Captain America!!!

This day was not as long as other days.  We had a great time, and it was nice to turn in early before our last day at Disney.
