last day in harry potterland

Well we got up and got ready to head out to harry potter land once again. After a wait for the taxis we got there later than we had intended but at least we didnt have to go through the ticket booth. We headed straight for harrypotter and when we got there we decided the best place to start would be hogwarts because that would probably take a bit so off we went. I loved walking inot that castle it was very dark in there at first so hard to see but once i adjusted to the light i was able to see we went up in a lift and we could of gone on the ride but apparently it was very rough and it wouldnt of been very good but we looked around the parts we could. We heard portraits talking and everything was very cool. After that we went back down and into a shop that was very crowded i got a top and an owl. Then we went to olivanders and got a time to come back for the wand show we then wand into dervish and bangs was great in there the had a little stall outside where they had a few things i got another owl a quill and then we coz of our wheelcvhair pass we could go inside and we saw loads of great things. we walked through dervish and bangs and came out into the owl post area where there were wands for sale i got harrys wand and i also got an owl mug. We the went into olivanders was great in there the wand show was amazing and then we ended up in the owl place again. we also went to hone dukes and i proceded to buy the shop out and zonkos where i got a pigmy puff ithat i called it sev i thought of calling it eva after my sweet cvharge friend but then i thought they mite nto say her name right we have a very special way of pronouncing and the man asked me so i just said sev. we then decided wed seen everything that we could we left that area and had a bit more of a walk around then headed back to our hotel for an early dinner because we knew the next day wed have to get up at four am for the flight back to la then home stay tuned a day of lax and flying

HARRYPOTTER LAND

Well the next day we had intended to go to harrypotter land early but that didnt happen. After breakfast we had trouble AGAIN finding a taxi that would take us and we were off to islands of adventure. We had been told by crys and a vew others wed need a chairpass and we would or should be able to use the one for the two chairs so as we got our tickets we asked the lady for a pass she goes oh you wotn need one of those so we went through and this lovely man where u show the tickets said have you got a pass we said this lady said we wouldnt need it he said well its allways good to have one so he sent us to the info help area and we got one for the group. This was a great help. We first walked a little through seus landing such a prety colourful place there and then we walked round to harrypotter land. The crowds were huge we walked in and we saw the lovely sign for hogsmede it was like a dream come true. We saw the hogwarts express went for a walk looked at the long queses tasted some butter beer delish but not good for the reflux and looked at the front of hogwarts. Then we decided we were better coming back the next day so we left the area and went to jurassic park. I am not the worlds biggest dinosour fan but it was interesting to see all the stuff they had. After we had a look around there we decided to maybe venture back to our hotel with a walk by some rides we also had a look at this lovely water area just outside jurastic park so lovely but we could see clouds coming. We walked through seus landing and amira and hamish went on a ride there. Then we got the RAIN it started pooring and the thunder and lightning started. We ran to the arch way where most people come in and out well we were there and we jsut stood there and watched the rain wich lasted about fourty minutes. After noticing everyone was leaving and the rain had cleared we decided to venture back to harrypotter for another look well was still crowded but we did mannage to get into the three broomsticks for some lunch.. It was nice in the three broomsticks. After that we really did go bac and just didnt do much in the hotel then had dinner ready for an EARLIER start to hp land
