Chocolate Chili??? Wow... I mean I love chocolate... but I'm just not even sure I could convince myself to order that.I got the butterbeer which was soft serve and my dad got the chocolate chili. The butterbeer was meh, I had just gotten nasal surgery the month before and I was still healing so my taste was affected but, to me, this just tasted like vanilla. My dad thought the chocolate chili was good but didn’t finish it because it was too much. I had a taste and it taste like chocolate with a spicy after taste, weird.
I'm glad you enjoyed the show! I've heard good things about it, but I haven't really seen any pictures. I didn't even realize it was a puppet show.Seriously, this show is awesome. The pictures really don't do it justice but it is so much more than a puppet show. After an amazing performance, I wanted to go back to Knockturn Alley to get some pictures inside Borgin and Burkes. This is the Dark Arts shop where many dark artifacts from the movies are located.
It really is a must do in my opinion, so great.I've seen the performances on youtube. They really did do them beautifully.
Yeah, me too. You can do whatever you want whenever without having to worry about others needs, maybe one ay I can do it.I took my mother last April. She and my son were getting worn out and bored right around lunch, on the first day there! So, I took them back to the hotel, made them sandwiches, and swam in the pool. I see why people do solo trips.
Lol, it was an interesting flavor to say the least. Its a very good show definitely worth your time if you make it there.Chocolate Chili??? Wow... I mean I love chocolate... but I'm just not even sure I could convince myself to order that.

It was really distracting .How disappointing about Hermione. That is the type of thing that would be hard for me to get over.
Wow... cool! I do need to get over there sometime and check out all the new updates to the park!At one point you cross from the main area onto platform 9 ¾ which is freaking awesome. You see the people cross over. I tried to capture it best I could with pictures but it is really something to must see in person.
First of all, the train ride sounds amazing. That would be really cool to check out. As for the voices, that's a big disappointment. I agree, for all the effort they put into everything, they could surely find someone to do the voice better.The ride simulates a trip over to school. The windows are actually screens that show you passing from London into the countryside and doors are made to look like frosted glass and you can see and hear people passing by. I think they had the lunch trolley lady and then Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The one really off putting thing here is Hermione’s voice. They couldn’t get Daniel Radcliff or Emma Watson to come back to voice the characters or do the acting in Escape from Gringott’s so, they used other people. For the ride, I barely noticed because I was having too much fun but on the train, wow. Fake Hermione sounded nothing like Emma Watson and for me, it really ruined the affect. I mean how do you go to so much detail for every last thing about WWoHP but not find someone who even remotely sounds like one of the main characters. Okay sorry, rant over. Once we arrived in Hogsmeade, I was excited to explore it during the day. First things first, I NEEDED to get on Forbidden Journey again. The wait was only about 20 minutes so not bad.
Well, it was a much different experience back then.We went straight back to Hogsmeade Village and decided to ride Dueling Dragons. I tried to tell him we had done this in 2007 before WWoHP but of course we didn’t remember.
Agreed.This is fun coaster but to me nothing you couldn’t get at your local Six Flags.
Oh wow. Sorry about that. Not the way you want to end your day at the park at all. I'm sorry they didn't handle the situation any better than that. Not cool at all. I hope it didn't end up putting a damper on the rest of your time in Universal.
Right? I mean it can't be that hard to find someone who sounds like her, voice actor imitate voices all the time.First of all, the train ride sounds amazing. That would be really cool to check out.

It definitely was different he still wouldn't have remember thoughWell, it was a much different experience back then.
Yeah, it was definitely poorly handled, thankfully we moved on and had a fun night.Oh wow. Sorry about that. Not the way you want to end your day at the park at all.

OMG, people are ridiculous, I am sorry that happened.What a horribly rude team member! That's up there with the lady at Target today that assumed I was pregnant (I'm not) and then patted my belly and said "You should really look in to wearing a girdle."
Yuck... That stinks.There weren’t many options for food so we stopped at a pretzel stand thinking that they would be nice and fresh and hit the spot. We were so wrong. The pretzel was so stale that it had to be from the night before and I got a coke that tasted so funky I had to throw it out.
I can't disagree with that logic! It is a tight area to navigate, for sure.
That's frustrating. If you're paying extra, or paying for one of their hotels to get that Express Pass, you expect them to let you use it as intended.
I'm glad it didn't let you down!Finally, when we were let in to room we waited another 15 minutes for our ride vehicle. But, I can finally report this ride is really fun whether you have liquid influence or not.
Sounds convenient. And big bonus for eating in Moes!
Give them time, I'm sure E.T. will be gone too. Everything else is...After our lunch I wanted to ride E.T. since that was the only ride I remember from Universal Hollywood when I was 8. It is a cute little ride and I hope they don't get rid of it.
Excellent choice to end on! So much fun!
