Hey everyone! Today we’re off to UNIVERSAL! We have a park hopper ticket so we can visit Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in the same day. We start off in Universal Studios, passing by Transformers to head straight into the London bit of Harry Potter! We get a little shocked with how similar the Kings Cross and Leicester Square stations are to the real thing, and board the Knight Bus! After speaking to the Shrunken Head it’s time for Diagon Alley! We head straight into Knockturn Alley and view the amazing and haunting antiques in Borgin and Burkes, we then nom some food in the Leaky Cauldron, drink some butter beer and head onto Escape from Gringotts! The bank queue area was amazing! After that we bought an interactive wand from Olivanders and used it throughout the park to watch the environment move as we created spells with the wand. We then headed over to Hogsmeade via the Hogwarts Express! In Hogsmeade we grabbed another butterbeer in the Three Broomsticks, then rode Forbidden Journey. The castle queue for that ride is something else. We then took a taxi back to Disney World and gave a few good tips on how to get taxis to universal. Thanks so much for watching!
