WISH Trip, Day 2

We started December 7th at Downtown Disney to do a little souvenir shopping, then we went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal. :)

Annie got to open the World of Disney Store along with another little girl. :) She got pixie dusted by one of the Fairy God Mother's in Training. :) AND a CM gave her a certificate that named her an honorary citizen. :)

Daddy is angry like Donald for having to carry all the shopping bags. Birds of a feather... ;)

We made it to Universal and I was ecstatic to get to Harry Potter!!!!!!

Annie loves elephants and was excited to see Horton from the Macy's Day Parade. We passed him on our way to London...

Number 12 Grimmauld Place! Some silly muggles took pics at doors 11 and 13. It's all about number 12, y'all!

Every few minutes Kreacher peers out the window. :)

We found the Knight Bus. :)

We made our way into Diagon Alley and stopped for lunch at the Leaky Cauldron.

I could NOT wait to try Butterbeer! We got Pumpkin Juice, (cold) Butterbeer, and frozen Butterbeer. I am the pickiest person you will ever meet so I was shocked that I actually like Pumpkin Juice. (Cold) Butterbeer was lovely, but y'all, frozen Butterbeer is the most amazing thing you have ever had! I ended up getting 4 glasses while we were in Universal. I dream about it and want more so badly!

In the Owlery- Daddy needs to learn to shoot up! ;)

We took Annie to the Magical Menagerie and she got a pink Pygmy Puff named Pom Pom. :)

Next we took her to Ollivanders and she was chosen to be in the show to get a wand. It was so special! I took so much time uploading it and it didn't work. ugh.

When the wand chose her, he said, "A perfect fit! A wand of Ivy chooses a wizard who will be strong, and resilient, and determined. An excellent wand for protection and cooperation. With a phoenix tail for the core you, Annie, are truly destined to make a mark." 

Pass the tissues, please! (If you watch on YouTube they have different speeches for different kids. Annie's fits her perfectly! We had to buy her wand!) ;)

I would like to point out this awesome photo op was ruined by everyone sitting on it! SERIOUSLY?!?! Gringotts is NOT a rest stop! I am pretty patient person, but this made me very upset!

We went to Weasley's Wizard Weezies, and once again were met by some people who plopped down right by the entry! Come on! (also Daddy still needs to learn to shoot UP! lol) Inside, Annie got to have a Pygmy Puff naming ceremony for Pom Pom. She got to ring the bell and the shop keeper made a large announcement for Annie and Pom Pom. :)

We headed to King's Cross to board the Hogwarts Express to get to Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, (they are at the other Universal park so you have to have a park hopper).

Waiting for the train. Notice Annie is still holding Pom Pom and her wand. She held them from the moment she received them! :) I was so proud! :)

The Hogwarts Express is actually a ride too. :)

A Very Potter Snowman and Annie posing with a CM's cap he loaned her. :) And of course, Pom Pom and her wand. :)

Annie, her wand, and Pom Pom in Hogsmeade. :) I loved the snow!

Hogwarts, Hogwarts! (DADDY! SHOOT UP!!!) ;) Both the Gringotts and Hogwarts rides were awesome! ;)

With my girl at Hogsmeade and Honeydukes. :)

Dinner at the Three Broomsticks! 

Notice, my second glass of Butterbeer. :)

After dinner we caught the Triwizard show and Annie had a blast!

She would turn to me and say, "I wish I could dance like that! :)

To leave the park, we had to pass through the other park so we looked around to get an idea what we wanted to do on Thursday when we returned. 

We had to stop and take a picture with the Fantastic Four 4 because this was one of the last days of Annie being four years old!

We got back to GKTW and continued the fun:

My little Gryffindor on a lion on the carousel! ;)

She also rode on a horse. :)

Annie got a princess tattoo at the La Ti Da Spa. :)

We finished out our night at the ice cream parlor. :)
