Flow Rida Vaca

Johnny and I went on a vacation with my parents and my bro Roury.  So to start off, Johnny and I drove down to St. George to pic up Roury. Then we were off to VEGAS. (we flew out from Vegas because it was way cheaper)
We went to the casino at New York New York and went to the Sports food place...can't remember what its called but I know it isn't ESPN Zone.  We hung out there for awhile and it was cool because all the games were free!  So ofcourse the boys wanted to go the football game first :)


After an hour or so there we drove to the airport for our lovely flight! It wasn't too bad since it was a red eye..I got a little bit of sleep.

So the parentals arrived in Florida the day before us. So pops came to the airport to pick us up at 7 in the mornin!  So kind of him.  Then we all crashed for like 6 hours haha. 

We started our adventures at EPCOT which I learned is an acronym for "Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow"  I haven't been there since I was a little kid and back then it was BORING.  But this time around it as alot of fun!  So we went on this space ride simulator thingy.  There are two options. Green and Orange.  Here is some advice..DON'T GO ON ORANGE. Trust me.  It starts off blasting off from earth.  And no joke I could feel my blood rushing through my body, and I knew this wasn't going to be fun.  The rest of the ride just got worse from there.  It's not like 'Back to the Future' where if you just closed your eyes you would be fine.  On this ride closing your eyes just made it WORSE.  When we got off all three of us wanted to die haha. 
Here are some more pictures from Epcot.




This was a model of a space control thingy haha. (this was shown while we were waiting in line for the space simulator)



This was a really yummy restaraunt, San Angel Inn.  It reminded me alot of the Blue Bayou because there is a water ride that through it like Pirates of the Caribbean.


This lovely troll was at a store after we got off some sort of Norweigan ride. 

I thought these were so cute! Its all made out of flowers.  They had them everywhere of different characters!
This duck had no fear! Probably the closest I have ever been to a duck...

AND NOW...

THE MOMENT YOU ALL...

HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR...


THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER


So the first thing we did was go on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.  The line was too bad only about an hour wait!  The ride is AWESOME!!! If you have ever been on the Amazing Spiderman ride at Islands of Adventure, its kinda like that.  You are on a moving track.  So its not like Back to the Future or the Simpsons Ride.  Some parts there is a screen in front of you and then some times there are real physical things on front of you.  Dragons spitting fire, Spiders spitting venom, Dementors sucking out your soul! haha. We loved it! We went on it 3 times.  Here are some pics of the castle and the queue to the ride...








Everyone was taking a picture right here before they entered the castle...






The Mirror of Erised



So after the ride we decided to get some Butterbeer! SOOOO delicious.  Its hard to describe, its like mix of butterscotch, cream soda, and whipped cream on top.  Also, frozen butterbeer is way good.  We also got some Pumpkin Juice!  Its a mix of like pumpkin juice, apricot juice, and orange juice.







We ate dinner at the 3 broomsticks and it was delicious!


Hog's Head...you can also get butterbeer here and the line isn't long at all. 


Next on our list was Ollivander's wand shop.  The line to GET INTO the store 1 hour long. Fabulous. But we really really wanted our wands :)

I know its hard to see...but here is the little skit they do. They picked these two little boys. (I wished it was me) He did the whole thing like how it was when it was Harry's first time getting a wand.  Pretty fun shtuff!

Well I hoped you enjoyed this! I will be putting more pictures on facebook of the rest of the pictures fom HP and from the rest of our trip. (because I hate how you can only download one picture at a time on here)
