Two days before I leave for awhile; we took the family to Universal Islands of Adventure to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Sally and I call this forced family fun or FFF. Stephanie was like a ten year old giddy and happy as can be. It was quite an impressive theming of this section of the park. The Harry Potter ride was by far the BEST theme park ride in the United States. There are no words to describe it, it was built on automotive robotic technology. I was disappointed in the size of the section (it is NOT a separate park) and the operation. Clearly the park was laid out from a visual perspective with a fixed size and no thought to guest flow.

Waiting in line to go into one of the stores, this one sold wands and scarves! The stores are attractions and have long lines to get in.
The Castle is impressive towering over the park. I read it is 15 stories tall.

| Train station and train were quite authentic. |

| This is the entrance. |

| Happy Stephanie leaving the park. |
