Make-A-Wish Part 3

Day three! Mama's dream came true! Universal Orlando!

Hello Kitty was a hit. Especially for the girls.

After Hello Kitty we hit the Minion Mayhem ride. Liv laughed hard enough to give herself hiccups and then went again with Daddy. Again, our wish pass was awesome. Straight to the front of the line so there wasn't a ton of waiting. We also saw some transformers but the girls weren't interested in getting pics.

Daddy's dreams came true too. We love Simpsons (despite what our mother's think) and Andrew was super excited to go.

Especially to get the giant pink Lard Lad doughnut. It was very tasty. 

The Knight Bus! You guys! Cyndi (sis-in-law) and I were the only ones brave enough to go chat with the shrunken head. It was so fun!

Liv didn't like the dragon. Abs just liked the stroller. Ha!

At Harry Potter world with the man who introduced me.

There were so many fun little things there. This was the currency exchange. You can totally exchange your money for wizard money! Hahaha I only wished I'd had cash on me.

Again, more pics on my phone so the stuff you aren't seeing from part one are the girls and I purchasing our very own wands. Liv picked Hermiones, Ella picked Luna's, and I decided to just pick a pretty one that was not a character wand. The best part came next. Using our wands to make magic in the shop windows. For my FB friends, you've seen the pic of Liv using hers. It is such a magical photo and I love it so much. Liv and I took Nocturn Alley to the bathrooms (she was NOT a fan) Then, there was lunch at the Leaky Cauldron. Again, dream come true. Butter beer, fish and chips, and just the most amazing lunch ever. Our plan was to hit the Hogwarts Express after lunch. It goes between parks, aka between Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade. Sadly, Universal closed at five, but the ride closed at 3 (when we were eating) just to get the crowd through. So we missed the train. Oh well, An excuse to go back someday.

Hogsmeade! Liv was mad because we had left Diagon Alley and all the window magic there. She didn't believe us when we told her there would be more here.

Choo choo!

Shortly after this, Liv pulled out a wand and started having a blast again. And then again she got upset when we pulled her further into town. Then had blast again once she discovered Flight of the Hippogriff. She rode it multiple times.

It's so beautiful!

Ella was so excited despite this pic. The ride inside the castle was amazing. Ella was only barely tall enough, but tall enough she was. So, Andrew, me, Ella and Aunt Cyndi went. Liv was busy watching the Beauxbaton's and Durmstrang's doing a dance show with Grandma (which she loved) so we had the wish pass and got to take the back roads through the castle to the front of the line. There were spiders jumping out at us, dementors trying to kiss us, and just the most amazing stuff ever. 

It was a lovely day. I would've liked to spend a bit more time there, but, again, more reason to go back.
