Tasmyn's Disney Adventures!: One of the greatest days of my life

I would just like to start todays blog with stating that I love Disney - I love what Walt has created and the legacy that he has left long after he has gone! I also love the fact that I am involved in helping to created lasting memories here at DisneyWorld - it truly is a dream job.

And now that I have made the justification I will tell you what I did today.... I headed over to the competition; Universal World

Which plays host to quite possibly my favourite place on Earth (well realistically its probably my top 3 places)

HARRY POTTER WORLD!

I spent pretty much my entire day emerged into the magical world of my wizarding friend HP and I loved every single minute. Basically all day I just kept repeating "omg, omg, omg this is so amazing"

I have heard really great things about the land that is all about HP but I was very very happy to discover how well they have created and incorporated the the details of not only the movies but the books aswell.

So let me start from the start, we took 2 buses to get to Universal and then a very long walk to get in - paid the small fortune for the annual pass (yes I know, I can go back whenever I want to - how awesome is that?!)

And then walked into Hogsmede (if you haven't read the HP books/seen the movies this post won't make much sense to you - sorry!)

Even the buildings had "snow" on them:

Had a photo with the stationary model of the Hogwarts Express:

And then we saw it:

My other favourite castle!

We walked around Hogsmede and then went to the Three Broomsticks for lunch and I got to try Butterbeer:

It was delicious!

We went on a few rides one being the Harry Potter Experience. I'm not going to try and explain it as it won't sound nearly as exciting/well created as it should. But let me just say that it was simply amazing!

We then went to Hogsmede train station:

And got on a moving Hogwarts Express at the Hogsmede station:

On the Hogwarts Express:

And then got off at Platform 9 and 3/4:

The Night Bus! This guy was hilarious because he said "oh you're Australian, but your name mustn't be because you are from Tasmania - because you have all my teeth!" Hahaha. Even Tassie gets picked on overseas!

However, we then went into Diagon Alley!

This was (if possible) even better then Hogsmede - probably due to the fact that it's newer

And they even had the hand - just like in the movie when Harry travelled by Floo powder and accidentally ended up here instead of Diagon Alley.

Hanging with Griphook in Gringotts! The new Gringotts ride was absolutely, fantastically amazing! Again, trying to describe it would be too hard unfortunately - so you'll just have to take my word for it.
