Our trip to Orlando, Florida was so much fun! We left February 3rd and flew back February 10th! It was too bad Emily, Bryce, and Lara were unable to join us due to school, but we still made the most of it! Neal received his mission call to Buenos Aires Argentina South Mission and reports to the MTC on May 16th, thus we decided we needed one last big vacation before he sets off on his journey for the next 2 years! We bought 3 day passes to Disney World and 2 day passes to Universal Studios (which includes the Wizarding World of Harry Potter)!
Universal Studios has 2 parks, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure (which includes the Wizarding World of Harry Potter). I absolutely love the World of Harry Potter! It was so much fun, and it gave me the feeling of being right in Hogsmeade and Hogwarts Castle!
Hogwarts Castle!
Butterbeer! I looooovvee this stuff! I also bought Pumpkin Juice, but out of the two, I can see why Harry and his friends drink this more! Almost like Cream Soda, but better!
Neal and I with the Hogwarts Express Conductor!
Honeydukes! The home of all that's sweet and good in the world of Harry Potter! I bought a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Jelly Beans and the Chocolate Frog! I haven't opened it yet, more as a decoration, but I'm very tempted!
Neal and Scooby Doo!
Neal and Dad rushing through the water! We had ponchos and we wore them as everyone else came out drenched! On a hot day we would've loved to have been soaked, yet it was overcast and we would've been wet the rest of the day. Next, mom and I went and had a blast!
Seuss Landing! The world of Dr. Seuss! This area came in second in my mind behind Harry Potter. It was so fun and it felt like you were inside one of his crazy books!
The Cat in the Hat!
I love these guys, Thing 1 and Thing 2!
Disney World! I have always wanted to come here! It comprises of 4 parks, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios! My favorite was Animal Kingdom, which had fun rides and a live safari! Next Epcot was really interesting, especially the tour of Countries. We bought a Strawberry Tart from France, which was delicious! Magic Kingdom was great, yet it's very similar to Disneyland! However, the light show they did on Cinderella's castle was amazing and the fireworks were spectacular!
We had a WILD TIME!
Epcot at night, beautiful!
These were Mickey hand mittens for the kitchen. I was so tempted, but I knew before I have a place of my own to use them in they'd be dirty!
We came out of a show and as I looked to my right, I saw Mater and ran! My family lovingly came along as I stood in line with a bunch of kids to get my picture with him! I love this truck!
I could be in Star Wars!
My mom and dad with Rafiki, from the Lion King!
The massive tree, the icon of Animal Kingdom! Amazing! We had a great time and loved every minute of the crazy rides. Yet it has taken a few days to allow our brains to settle back down after being rocked around so many days in a row!
