Thursday, December 30, 2010 (Universal's Islands of Adventure/The Wizarding World of Harry Potter)


After breakfast we caught the shuttle bus to Universal’s Islands of Adventure at 7:30AM. We purchased Express Unlimited Pass for Catherine.

Catherine waited in line for an hour to get passes to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter for later in the day. There were masses of people! I waited at The Mystic Fountain. It is my favorite place in the park. The fountain talks to the kids and occasionally squirts or showers them with water.

Catherine went on several rides including The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, Ripsaw Falls, Bilge-Rat Barges, and the Jurassic Park River Adventure. I saw The Eighth Voyage of Sindbad Stunt Show and watched The Mystic Fountain.

Catherine went on the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride while I looked in the windows of Hogsmeade Village. I could hardly squeeze through the crowds. We missed seeing Hagrid's hut! We had lunch in Harry Potter Land at Hogs Head Pub of Fish ‘n Chips. The Fish ‘n Chips were so much better than the Fish ‘n Chips at Columbia Harbor House in the Magic Kingdom.

We caught the shuttle bus back to the hotel at 6:00PM. About a dozen or so people were left at the bus stop as there was no room on the shuttle bus.
