Wizarding World of Harry Potter! among other things

For those of you who are unaware, in Universal Studios Islands of Adventure in Orlando, FL, they have the wizarding world of Harry Potter.  It feels like you're in the movie!  Like a dream...

 Hogwarts Castle...with the coolest ride ever inside

 Some classic scenery
 Ollivander chooses a wand for someone special...
They have 2 stores:  Honeydukes and 



 the joke shop- whatever that is called.



Hagrid's Hut.  You could hear Fang barking

BUTTERBEER!!!  so delish.  It fulfills your wildest dreams

Epcot.  Brynne made us do the 'classic tourest pose'
 I improvised
 In Norway, there was a creepy troll ride that was quite strange. But loveable
 And here is the beginning of the African Safari ride at the Animal Kingdom

 Where a giraffe is kind enough to get that thing in my hair
 Elephants so close up.  It really was a cool ride.  We saw a lot of animals that I've never ever seen
 Bug's life ride.  3d. They always without fail spit some kind of water on you
 And the bug's life tree
 We stole away for an afternoon to hit up Cocoa Beach.  Love

These are definitely only a few of the highlights.  I have hundreds of pictures if you wanna come over I'll be happy to show you.  Super fun get away with Jessica Olmos and so good to see Brynne Morley.  She's my friend from here in Rexburg but moved there a couple months ago so I wanted to go visite. And she let us in to Disney for free!  So nice and such a great tour guide/ hostess.

I will say it again, I am so jealous!! I always wondered if it would be worth going to Harry Potter land (or whatever they call it) but it is official. When we go down there, I am going! One day....
