Puking Pasties In Diagon Alley

We were not sure about going to another Universal park, but we are so glad that we did. The new Diagon Alley part of the park is amazing! We started there at the Knight Bus. The Bus driver and the small head had so much fun teasing us that our "Children did not look happy" and that we should talk to them more! HAHA. They both did look a bit grumpy. haha

We then took photos in front of Sirius' family home, Number 12 Grimmauld Place. If you knock on the door, Kreacher will peak out at you from one of the upper grimy windows! 










Studying spells for the trip. 



We then walked through the brick wall from London into Diagon Alley. The place was SO WELL done! We spent so much time going through all of the stores. Each of them are perfectly done. Weasley's Wizard Wheezes was perfect. 

Lucky Dragon loved going around and using his wand to doing the spells on the windows. 




















































































































































We had more Butterbeer, of course, ate lunch in the Leaky Cauldron and had ice cream at Florian and Fortescue.  The Sticky Toffee Pudding was amazing and the ice cream flavors were fun and exotic. 



We also loved that we could go into Nocturn Alley. We explored all of the dark alleys and walked through Borgin and Burke. I loved it! 































We watched a retelling of the Deathly Hallows and then watched the Celestina Warbeck sing later. Both were so well done if felt like we were in the books. 









We went on the Escape from Gringotts and the theming was so well done. Going through the line is experience enough to justify trying it. 































They were celebrating Mardi Gras at Universal so we had so much fun dancing for the parades (that were not running because of COVID physical distancing) and getting beads. By the end of the day both Muggles had SO many beads to wear. 



















We had fun riding the Minion ride and Shrek. Koala Bear especially loved those two and would come out talking about how amazing they were. 








I made a stop as everyone slept in the car. I loved this view the best! I also loved that there was a spot in the bushes where others have made this same trek even if they cannot go in because of COVID.
