Average Adventure: Harry Potter World, Universal

Mary4 Comments

So it’s been over a month since my family vacation now and I still haven’t finished my adventure posts. So far I did one on Animal Kingdom and the Lodge. I just haven’t had the motivation to edit my pictures. I really just need to sit down and do them all. I have however, finished a bunch of pictures from Harry Potter World, which was awesome.

This is a really cool view (in my opinion) of Hogwarts Castle. It is among a bunch of other attractions but I like how it’s right and the middle and really stands out.

P1080457

This is the Knight Bus, and it was very realistic. However, it was a pain to get a picture of because there was an official line of people constantly waiting to get a picture with it instead of of it.

P1080408

This is really cool. This is 12 Grimmauld Place and every few minute Kreacher peaks out of the window which I find very in character and a great touch for the park.

P1080403

This is the side of Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes building which I just thought was super cool and fitting. Everything was made with such details it was amazing.

P1080392This is the Gringotts Dragon that breathes fire. You can also see the Butterbeer store as well as the book store.

P1080361

Here’s a picture that focuses more on the signs rather than the dragon.

P1080355

Here is a better picture of the dragon, and Gringotts.

Knockturn Alley. It’s air conditioned to feel cold like you would expect Knockturn Alley to feel like. It was creepy, there was Bellatrix Lestrange wanted posters that actually moved. It was so cool. The pictures were hard to get though because it was dark like it should be.

P1080360

This is the Leaky Cauldron, which we actually got to eat at and it was super cool. We had Wizard  sodas and some different foods.

P1080443

Platform 9¾. Super cool. Hogwarts Express goes between the two parks and ends in the two Harry Potter sections. The ride is complete with Wizard World scenic videos.

Harry Potter World is super cool. If you get the opportunity GO. It’s amazing.  I will be uploading more pictures of my Flickr once all of my vacation pictures are edited (hopefully within the next week or two).

Average Adventure: Spring Break 2015- Orlando, Florida

MaryLeave a comment

So I did a college thing and went away for spring break. I went to Orlando, Florida. No I did not have one of those crazy movie spring break trips- but I did have a lot of fun. My friends and I drove the 13 or so hours to Florida and back. I think it was one of those opportunities that you have to take in college. It’s one of those times in your life where you can take four or five days and just drive somewhere so why not do it? Do you know what I mean? We had two big days- the biggest picture taking day was the beach, and then I have a few pictures from our day at Disney World- really just the castle though. I don’t like taking pictures with a lot of random people in them.

These are just some of my favorite pictures that I took while I was away.  Seriously- if you have an opportunity like this take it. How many times in your life can you take a road trip with your friends once you have a job and family of your own? Not very often.

What did  you guys do or what are you guys doing for spring break?

Also ps sorry if you already read this- I deleted it and reuploaded it.
