When we planned our Disney trip we knew we wanted to squeeze in time for Universal Studios simply because that's where the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was. I was pregnant with Mariah when I read the first book and completely fell in love with the series. The books have been in our home her whole life, and when I felt she was old enough, passed them on to her. She was even more hooked than I was, and Harry Potter has been a staple in her life ever since. Yes, she is a nerd and proud of it ;)
My husband didn't care either way about going to the attraction. He never read the books or watched the movies, so that is the one thing I hold over him when it comes to our daughter. Getting to experience the attraction with Mariah was actually the highlight of our entire trip for me. It was great sharing her excitement over pointing out things she loved from the books, dining at The Three Broomsticks (even though lunch for 4 cost us $100!) and being the one that she wanted to ride the rides with. And I got offered a taste of her chocolate frog and her dad didn't. Take that Jason! I think there is also a Harry Potter attraction in New York that I would love to go to with her some day. Until then, here are a few photos we have to remember this trip by.
