OH The Horror! Scary Clowns, Haunted Houses, Scare Zones, Monsters, Pumpkins, Crooked Cats, Creepy Bears, Shopping, Dining and more….My HHN 34 Trip

[Robo56]

Guess where we were going……to one of my favorite areas of this park. Diagon Alley.




Globus Mundai was closed today. I always like to stop in and look at their merchadise.


The signs and little shop fronts are so well done. It does make you feel truly immersed in this make believe land of Witches and Wizards.



Interestingly Arthur Weasley was in Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office on the second floor of The Ministry of Magic.

It was his job to make sure that muggle objects like Toasters, Tea Pots and Gloves etc……That had been charmed by Witches and Wizards did not get into the hands of Muggles and If they did he had to get the objects back.

After getting the objects back from the Muggles he had to wipe the section of the Muggles memory of having seen the Magic charmed objects perform.

Tuesday, September 16th continued


I always like to stop in and have a quick chat with the bank Goblin. A lot of folks don’t know that the Goblin will talk to you. There was a family with two little ones that came in after I did and When they saw the Goblin responding to me the little ones had the best time talking to it.











This must me new I had not seen this necklace before.







I always like to stop in at Madame Malkin’s Robe shop. There are some nice displays there and of course you have to walk by the magical mirror to see what kind of response you will get on the clothing you are wearing.


I love these old Witches shoes.

Diagon Alley was pretty much crowded when we decided to leave. We passed by Transformers and turned right.


We saw that the Blues Brothers Show was getting ready to start and we decided to walk down and have a look. This lady singer was awesome. It was hard not to get into a little dance listening to her.


Then the fellas showed up and the party started.


I hope Universal never gets rid of this show it is so good.




After we were done listening for awhile we turned and decided to see if any of the food booths were opening yet. I looked down the street and there was still a loop of RRR left, but I knew it would be gone soon.

I had taken a picture of these food booths a few days before and It had just opened when we were starting to walk by.

So we decided to share some things and see how the food tasted.






The Freakishly Long Corn Dog.

The corn dog had a very thin layer of whatever batter it was that was on it. It did not taste like a corn dog batter. The hot dog underneath was very greasy. The jalapeño ranch and bacon on top were good. I would not purchase this again.


The Death by Cheesestick was very good with nice freshly prepared cheese pull. I’am thinking since the booth had just opened we were lucky enough everything was just prepared. So nothing had been sitting around under the heat lamp.

I will tell you there was a line forming behind us so I did not get the impression that food would be hanging in the warming plates very long here.

The marinara sauce was good also.


This booth had just opened (again I had taken photos of the booths before) and we bought the Twisted chips with the spicy cheese. This was supposed to take the place of the Twisted Taters this year.

There were two toppings to choose from.


I had suspected when you fry really thin potatoes in the fryer some will be crispy and some a bit soggy and that was what we got.

You can see the grease in the paper cone. There was a spicy cheese coating they had been tossed in. The crispy ones were good the others not so good.

The cheese coating was spicy with a little kick of heat. We tried a few of them and got rid of the rest.

Bring the twisted tater back.
