On our one off day, Emily and I went to Universal Studios. This was Emily's big Christmas gift - getting to see all of the amazing Harry Potter stuff at Universal. We got some great advice from a seasoned Harry Potter visitor (thanks Karen!), and made the most of our day. We were up at 5:45am and out the door by a few minutes after 6 to drive up to Orlando and arrive just before the gates opened. For the first few hours, it was absolutely pouring and we had to make the most of things by going on indoor rides and shops. Once the sun came out, the outdoor rollercoasters opened up and we were able to go on those as well. Except for Hagrid's Motorbike, we went on every ride at least twice, going back and forth between two different Universal parks. By late afternoon, we'd had our fill and headed back to Tampa to have dinner with friends. It was a great experience for two die hard fans of the Harry Potter series and I'm glad that we took the opportunity and made the trip.
