The Wand chooses the wizard (or witch)

While Donald and the big kids were off on roller coasters, Lizzie and I wandered into Olivanders. It was her lucky day because they chose her to get her chance to have a wand choose her. It was super fun to watch! Unfortunately, it was dark inside and hard to see for pictures, but I did take one. When she picked up "her wand" the lights light and the wind blew slightly and it really was magical! She made me a deal where she paid for half the wand. I just couldn't resist letting her get it, it was so magical!!

Universal Studios

We spent a fun day at Universal Studios. We all wanted to see the Harry Potter stuff and the big kids ended up enjoying a lot of other rides. They got really lucky when someone gave them a front of the line pass that it get used all day and allowed them to get in a lot of the big rides with minimal wait time. We had planned on going back a second day but did everything we wanted to in one day!
Mrs Ingram let Lizzie borrow her dsughter’s interactive wand and so she got to go around casting spells!  It is as fun to watch her!  

The train between Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade was really cool and Disgon Alley was exciting. Hogsmeade was exactly the same there as the one in Hollywood so it was less exciting. 

Back to Epcot

We spent more time at Epcot and Lizzie got Daisy Duck's autograph and Donald and the kids got to go on a Test Track which I think they got to design a card features, then drive it? I'm not quite sure, but they had fun!
