We had grand plans of getting into the Islands of Adventure park early today but since yesterday was such a long travel day we decided to sleep in and get some rest instead.<\/p>\n

We left our room around 10 or so and took the water taxi over to the main part of the park.<\/p>\n

It was 80 degrees at 10 am this morning.\u00a0 We started in Islands of Adventure and decided we would just walk around, check out the park and take pictures.\u00a0 Tomorrow we are going to go back and ride some of the water rides.\u00a0 We’ll leave our cameras so we don’t have to worry about them getting wet.<\/p>\n

According to my pedometer we walked about 7 miles in what turned out to be 90 degrees and very humid.\u00a0 We worked our way around to the new Harry Potter section.\u00a0 They did a great job making it look like the movies.\u00a0 The first ride we did was Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey.\u00a0 It’s a 3D ride set in the Hogwarts Castle and holy cow does it ever move.\u00a0 You really feel like you are flying and right there in the middle of everything.\u00a0 You fly past a dragon and can actually feel the heat from the fire it breaths at you.\u00a0 It was a very cool ride that I think we’ll do again.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We rode the Hogwarts Express from Islands of Adventure over to Universal Studios.\u00a0 Once in Universal Studios they have created Diagon Alley and what a job they did.\u00a0 The even put in Nocturn Alley and it was nice and dark.<\/p>\n

We walked a lot of miles today and our feet and legs are sore.\u00a0 Tomorrow we go back and do the Jurassic Park ride, the Dudley Do Right log ride and the Escape from Gringotts ride.\u00a0 I think after that we are going to go back and do the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride.<\/p>\n
