USA Holiday - Islands of Adventure

We continue our stay at Universal as we visit its second park - Islands of Adventure. Here we saw the Marvel super heroes area with the ridiculous Incredible Hulk rollercoaster (none of us went on that one!). We also got to see more Harry Potter because this park has Hogsmeade and is connected to Diagon Alley back at Universal Studios by the Hogwarts Express. There was also a Jurassic Park area with a river ride that had a big drop!

Here's a video of our first day at Islands of Adventure (click here if you can't see it)

USA Holiday - Universal Studios 1

Our time at Disney was up but the holiday was not over yet. After a quick Uber trip north, we arrived at our resort at Universal Studios - Cabana Bay Beach Resort. This resort was right next to Volcano Bay! After a look around and a swim we went to Universal Citywalk to explore some more and get something to eat.
We spent the next day at the Universal Studios. The big highlight here was Diagon Alley, which most of you would know from Harry Potter. There was a lot to see and do, but the first thing to take care of was wand shopping. With a special wand we began casting spells on the special magic spots that were located all over the area.

USA Holiday - Epcot

Our last park visit during our stay at Disney was Epcot. It was very different compared to the other Disney parks. A lot of the park was based on different parts of the world, like Japan, Italy or Germany. We timed our visit well because Epcot Food & Wine Festival was running while we were there. There were a lot of different foods and drinks to try, and of course there were some rides (the test track car ride was really fast but lots of fun!). After this we said goodbye to Disney World and packed up and moved to Universal Studios.

USA Holiday - Legoland

This was the park Jack was most excited about. It was also the reason for the whole trip in the first place. There was so much Lego here and fortunately not many people - we hardly had to queue for any rides! We had a packed day, visiting nearly every ride in the park. At the end of the day we could not escape from buying some Lego in the gift shop.
