Today, we went to Islands of Adventure and Universal. We saw Grinchmas, Poseidon’s Fury, and Harry Potter World. We also went to see the Hard Rock Hotel and Loews’ Portifino Hotel.
Harry Potter World is the only worthwhile thing at Universal. We had a traditional English breakfast complete with blood pudding and warm butterbeer. We took the train over to King’s Cross Tube Station and went into Diagon Alley. We had ice cream. I had one scoop of Earl Grey and Lavender and one scoop of clotted cream. We also exchanged some money at Gringott’s Money Exchange. We had a fun time with the wand (Thanks Cindy). I accidentally made some water spray into a woman’s face — like directly. It was in slo-mo. Before Christmas, I hadn’t read the books so the only thing I really appreciated was the London tube station. I watched one movie over break (well, 20 minutes), so I could see today how well the world was done.

We were going to stay for the Macy’s Holiday Parade, but it was at 8 p.m. tonight. We decided to go to Sweet Tomatoes and come back to the hotel. It is almost 8 p.m. We are going to Magic Kingdom soon.
I will try to update later with pictures in each blog, but it is the best I can do now.
