Day 2 — Woke up, generally lazed around until everyone was ready and then we went to Publix to buy our Islands of Adventure passes. Then we went to Chili’s for food.
After Chili’s, we started off to Orlando, with Abby driving instead of Janine, due to the fact she’d started to feel ill. The trip there was fairly uneventful, once at the hotel we were staying at though, we decided to check out Universal CityWalk. Paying $15 to park, only to find out Universal CityWalk is shit. We left disappointed and headed back to the hotel room.
It was at this point we found someone special. I don’t want to overstate anything… but… I found love in Orlando, and that love’s name is Stacey.
I don’t want to stay too much about Stacey, other than she has great stories to tell — stories that we could listen to all night, she’s enthusiastic and passionate about her job. She also likes pwning things.
I tried to get a video of Stacey for you, but despite the fact that she’s definitely not shy, I failed to get one.
Day 3 — Hogwarts!
We’d booked ourselves on the shuttle from the hotel to the park at 10am and headed pretty much straight to ‘The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’. I’d researched it a lot online, but it was still a lot better than I imagined it being. We walked through Hogsmead, just taking it all in and went into Hogwarts. The inside of which is the line to ‘Harry Potter & The Forbidden Journey’. Inside the castle was awesome. The detail is amazing. With little things from the books/movies across littered along the path.
The ride was cool too, essentially a simulator. You go from the Great Hall and fly out of Hogwarts and across the Hogwarts’ grounds.
From Hogwarts, we went to Jurassic Park. Got a little wet and moved on to Toon Lagoon and got soaked. Literally, not a dry spot. From there, Spiderman! The Hulk! Cat In The Hat…
Then we went off to the Three Broomsticks for some Butterbeer. It was nicer than I thought it was going to be, but it was extremely rich. I felt like I’d drank loads and then looked down at the cup to find next to nothing gone. I didn’t finish it.
DUELING DRAGONS! AWESOME. [I’m getting tired of blogging right now]
Then I went shopping. Oh, I actually went shopping before, I bought a t-shirt in Hogwarts. The other stuff I bought was from Honeydukes. A couple chocolate frogs, and some any flavour beans, as well as just some Honeydukes Milk Chocolate. Which I just realised will not taste good, cause it’s American chocolate. It’s all American chocolate. Oh dear. Hogwarts, you’ve let me down. Hogwarts is in the UK, it should be British chocolate!
Now we’re back at the hotel. Where we’ve decided we’re the cold open of Friends. I will not expand on that at all.
