Sooooo I'm thinking about flying into Orlando on Wednesday the 27th to check out the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios. Does anyone else want to bask in the geeky glory of this place? A giant castle, shops straight out of the books, magic wands, epic rides, and even Butterbeer! Potter fans assemble!

I wanted to go until I found out the lines were beyond ridiculous. Hour long waits just to get into the area that serves butter beer, then you have to wait again to get your butter beer. I think I'll wait until next year for it to die down a bit.

...Butter beer?

I seriously thought about going to this instead...but..I mean, I've been wanting to go to the Fest for the past 4 years now. Maybe next year when all the excitement and lines die down. and i cant wait to chug some of that butterbeer.

A couple of Aussies and I were talking about going to Universal Studios before Fest...I wasn't aware that the Harry Potter World was there...might have to wait a year. Disney World instead?

not so sure on this but i want to do the hallowen horror night at universal for sure. last time i went to the US i was 13. i'm now 20 and it'll probably scare me more this time round (will be 21 by the time this comes around though!) but yeah. i'm not sure anyone i know is up for this. befriend me and we can go get terrified of people chasing us with chainsaws and shit.

I've lived in florida my entire 21 years and I have yet to go to halloween horror night. I'm down if I have a job and some extra money by then.

oh man, my memories of it are so so good. i'm 100% going, whether people join me or not! it wasn't even that ridiculous waiting times for the houses and rides. although the spiderman ride totally broke down halfway through and we didn't know if it was part of the halloween experience and something was gonna jump out or whather it'd actually broken down (which it had, no scaring occurred) if i lived out there i would go every year just for these nights!

HHN is only fun really if you go with people who get scared easy, I spend most of my time laughing at them

i advise you visit with me then. i absolutely hate being chased. like, really hate it. it creeps me out so much!

in saying that though, i love being scared. hence the love of HHN.

I recently went to the park and around the lines weren't really long but it was also a monday.

Yeah, I think I'm going to just wait until next year. Was it awesome?

It was amazing. They went into so much detail. When you do go definitely take the time to do everything.

I'll be spending Fest weekend at Universal Studios, Halloween Horror Nights, Islands of Adventure and Magic Kingdom. Have to get all my festing done at pre-fest. Should be an awesome long weekend of birthday celebrating.
