Golly geesh was I behind! Sorry it's taken me forever to get back over here. Love how even the pizza boxes at Disney are cute.

Ooooo, sunburn! Ouch! Glad it didn't ruin his night.

Devon's drink looks sooo cool! I can only imagine what the luggage xray people thought it might be! We haven't eaten at T-Rex but I wandered thru it one of our DTD nights last trip -- verry cool.

So many DTD stores I have yet to check out. I definately need to schedule some solo shopping time!

Woo-hoo for Harry Potter!!

So were you dying when you were in the Christmas shop?? Cause I totally couldn't handle a secret while being surrounded by Disney Christmas Magic!

I'm all caught up! Sorry its taken so long!!! Crazy early prego life! But I'm 12 weeks now... that means I get my energy back now, right???

OMG I totally almost spilled the beans a few times when we were there!!! Hope you are feeling good! The first few months are always the hardest!

Hey Reese... Hope you are keeping up with work!! It's been a while so I thought I would check in and say hi!!

I miss you!!! Work is pure he@l!!! I only had 2 minor melt downs last week from be soooo stressed!!! Today was manageable so hopefully it won't be too crazy this week!!! Only 3 weeks till election day!!! Which means only a little over a month till disney!!!

OK, T-Rex looks so cool! I love all the pictures! Was the cave cold too? LOL. Just looking at it makes me kind of cold.

I can't wait to hear about WWOHP! I am finally to that point in my TR too.

Sarah, T-rex was awesome!!! Cave was the same temp as the rest of the place, but it was cool when it changed colors!

I'm hoping to get to HP soon. I just been completely overwhelmed with work at the moment!

You can't leave us hanging with Harry Potter Dangled in front of us!

Coming soon I promise!

Ok guys, I determined to wrap this trip report up today! So, without further ado lets get started!!!



Our last full day in Disney was spent at

Yep, you saw that right... Universal!!! I know I know this is a Disney site, so I will make this quick and too the point, plus I know many of you are wondering about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which was the ONLY reason for venturing over to the dark side!!!

So we started our day of here

We rode Jimmy Neutron first as it was the 1st rise we saw and there was virtually no wait.

Cute ride, but I'm not big on simulators so my eyes were closed most of the time!!!

Upon leaving the ride, we ran into this guy!

After our meet with Sponge Bob, we headed over to

Rockit is my far one of my new favorite rollercoasters behind RNRC of course!!! This ride was also the longest wait of the day... I Think we waited roughly 45 minutes!!! But definitely worth it!!!

After that we headed over to ride the Simpsons ride...


Look they even have a

Of course this was another simulatore ride and I did not realize that until we were about to get on the ride!!! Ugh!!! My brother and Devon thought it was awesome though!!!!

Devon with his man Homer!!!

We Rode

Very cool ride!!! Think Buzz but 3D

By this point we were all getting a bit thristy so we grabbed a water and a soft pretzel and hopped in line for

Honestly we rode a few more rides in Universal, like Mummy, twister and Sherk 4D, but we were all getting antzy at this point to get over to WWoHP!!!


Here are a few pictures of City walk as we headed over to IOA

We finally arrived at

First thing Tim wanted to do was ride Hulk so that's where we headed...

Unfortunately Devon was not tall enough to ride and he was really bummed out so we walked around until Tim's ride was over

One we met up with Tim we headed over to

and

Treking along we reached

Devon and Tim got in line for Jurassic park, and I opted to sit that one out!!!! Having been on it at the one in Hollywood, I knew you got soaked, and I wasn't in the mood to be wet for the rest of the day, so I waited in the gift shop. After about 30 minutes or so I began to hear that the ride had broken down!!! Well, of course Devon and Tim were stuck on the ride for another hour!!!

Hear they are ready to get of the boat!!!

We were really hungry now so we opted to get some chicken nuggets and fries before our much anticipated entrance into Hogsmede!!!

After scarfing down on food, we finall saw it!!!

We were beyonded thrilled to finally be entering

I'm finally all caught up, Reese!

Loved the updates! Your Universal mini-report really brought back a ton of great memories for me! I haven't been there in soooo many years & the only memories I have of it were riding Jaws, Mummy, and Twister! I can't even believe I'm saying this, but during that Disney/Universal trip, I didn't take my camera!!! What kind of crazy photographer doesn't take a CAMERA on a trip??? (Guess I have a slight excuse since it was during high school...lol)

Anyway, I can't wait to hear more about Harry Potter!
