Today was our second day at Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure, and our last day in the theme parks. We toured Hogsmeade again, then rode the Hogwarts Express to Universal Studios. It was cool to see the Knight Bus in the flesh (metal?)
We did a little more shopping in Diagon Alley. I got a cool sweatshirt/jacket, and Marlena got an awesome Gryffindoor leather phone case.
We ate lunch at the Leaky Cauldron again, simply because of proximity. I actually like the food better at Three Broomsticks, but this was still completely above-average theme park food.
We rode so many rides today! We also did a couple character meet & greets. Sasha was so thrilled to meet a Decepticon. Quite different from the nice Disney characters and Spider Man - he just snarled at everyone, ha!
By 4pm, we were completely worn out, so we took off for Whole Foods to pick up some dinner. Have I mentioned how much we love the Orlando Whole Foods. Actually, we have kind of a family tradition of stopping at the Whole Foods food bars whenever possible on vacation. So many yummy, healthy options!
Sasha and Marlena went to the pool after dinner, while I collapsed in the A/C and uploaded photos.
I forgot to mention that the reason we've booked this particular condo twice is its view of the Disney fireworks. So we watched the Magic Kingdom Wishes fireworks one last time, then went to bed.
Steps for today: 17,093. We were spent. The funny thing was: when Marlena got back to school, she asked her gym teacher if she needed to submit a makeup log. He said, "Yes, please." She said, "OK, I'll write down that we walked x number of miles last week." He replied, "OK, never mind the log - that will do!"
