gg had a dream...
he wanted to spoil his girls and their families with an
over the top
trip to Disney!
(we made mickey shaped cookies to celebrate!)
august 10 2015
jetblue nonstop- buffalo to Orlando
Disney magic bus to Grand Floridian Resort!
met up with the Idahoans at the resort
(gorgeous!)
(Idahoans AND the resort!)
headed to brunch
hugs and kisses everywhere!!
call the taxi!
we're going to Harry Potter at Universal Studios!
Afton was beyond excited
but not as excited as Auntie Kara...
she literally had tears in her eyes as we walked into Diagon Alley!
every single detail is truly incredible.
and I've only seen the movies.
if you've read the books...
well, it's beyond your dreams!
Ollivanders Wand Shop is amazing!
the girls judiciously searched through the shop
looking for the perfect wand.
they chose several different wands
but in the end
left with the wand which perfectly matched them.
auntie kara was practically speechless
and in awe at the wonders she beheld.
this girl doesn't give big smiles
for just anything!
searching
reaching
testing
is this the ONE?
if you buy the perfect wand, you can cast spells around diagon alley.
you can make water shoot out of the ground
you can make a feather float in the air
you can make a suit of armor fall apart
you can make lights go on and off
it's magical!!
butterbeer!
(pronounced: buttah-be-ah)
delightful!
hmmmmm...
not bad!
we experienced the ride in Gringot's vaults,
we searched for the perfect souvenir
we performed every magic spell possible
we debated and labored over each candy possibility in the Weasley's candy shop
we poured over every nook and cranny
throughout diagon alley!
we didn't think anything Disney had to offer
could possibly compare to what we had witnessed that first day.
but we were wrong!
more to come...
