We have forgone our annual Walt Disney World passes in lieu of Universal Studios passes! It's certainly a new experience, as I had only been to 1 of the 2 parks (in 2013) before grabbing them. They are actually pretty reasonable, price wise- always a perk. Graham and I met up with two of our favorite people, Austin and Katie, and spent 2 days at the parks having a grand old time. One of the best parts is that since it's all so new, I still have several rides left to enjoy, new places to eat and shows to watch.
Without doubt, Harry Potter World is a favorite of mine; I love just walking around the shops with the music playing in the background! Since I'm an old bat, I always seem to get emotional thinking about what a huge spiel HP played in my childhood Meanwhile, Graham loves the theming of the different areas and avoids most of the coasters like the plague.
Between our days at Universal (Saturday and Monday), we enjoyed walking around Celebration, Florida and Disney Springs. Graham and I dawdled in Celebration when it began to sprinkle, sitting under a nice covered bench. Soon enough it began to come down in sheets at an angle and we had to walk/run about a mile back to our car. By the time we got in, we remarked how we have been able to be so carefree up until this point in marriage, we have had moments of unabashed joy in the most silly circumstances. By the time we went to Disney Springs, we both had an umbrella, I let Graham use the poncho and I added a long sleeved sweater on. Also, they have really revamped it and it looks great. We were so impressed.
It's been fun to give it a go at new parks! We have access to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and City Walk until next September, so be sure to get with us, if you plan to go ;)
