Oh COOL!! We've never done it when there were enough people in line to notice this, so I had no idea!
It's definitely the coolest part of the queue! Although a shame you can't see the effect with your own family/group, it's still neat to watch people go through.
This must be awesome!! If we ever have kids, I really hope I can bring them into some of my favourite literary worlds
It was like taking him to Disney for the first time. So amazing to see something you love so much through your child's eyes.
Yay! I'm hoping to get to Disneyland sometime in the next few years, so I'm really looking forward to this TR. I'm heading over now! Can't promise how up-to-date I'll stay before and during our upcoming trip, but I'll definitely keep up eventually!
I sure hope you get a chance to go. It's something every Disney fan needs to experience!!
Always enjoy your TR's! Always beautiful pictures and good storytelling It can't be easy taking a baby but your DD seems pretty go with the flow. How fun that your DS "got" the HP stuff. Thanks for the new TR link!
Thanks for following along! DD is definitely more go-with-the-flow while traveling than DS was at that age.
It was really cool seeing him just light up as he spotted all of the things he recognized from the books and movies!
Glad it was a fun trip, thanks for sharing your report and the great pictures!

What a shame -it is hard to predict what they will ride. Maybe he was worried he would encounter Bellatrix Lestrange or some other Death Eater.
Yeah, we were hoping he would have been a bit more adventurous, but what can ya do? We have been having lots of conversations about our upcoming trip, and I think he is going to be willing to try a few things he wouldn't do before now that he can ride with both me and DH.
Maybe next time. Hannah loved being picked. She was dressed in the full Hogwart's uniform at the time.The good luck was you didn't need to purchase the wand.
Last time we never put him in his HP stuff, but maybe this time with it being a special trip, we'll have to bring his robes into the parks with us to give him a better chance of getting chosen!
That is so good that he gets the humour of it. Great that he got picked.
He really enjoyed being singled out during the show! lol
It is so fun when you can start to share interests.
Definitely. It keeps the excitement alive for me getting to experience it all with him!
This is really cute - you will need to recreate this in a few years.
That's a great idea! lol We will have to get him to do it every trip in the years to come to compare.
Nothing can top that and good sized portions too!
Yes, I was impressed! It was very good, and so convenient.
Thanks so much. I really enjoyed this trip report. I didn't do Orlando with an under 2. I waited until Pete was 3 which was a lot easier. You did a really good job of keeping Delilah entertained.
I am impressed with how well you have done completing the trip reports particularly given how busy you are with work and looking after 2 young children.
Thanks for following along!
We definitely got a LOT of practice with her at varying ages. lol This was the roughest trip to Universal with her as she was not as content to sit in the stroller while waiting as much as she was when she was smaller and less mobile. But she was more interested in Disney World than she had ever been, so it was a trade off.
Loved reading about your adventures!
Thanks for following!
We love the Horror Make-up Show and have seen it many times. I know exactly what you son was picked for. Too funny!
It's a very funny show, and even funnier since it had been awhile since we had been there! I'm sure we will see it again in September and this time I should be able to stay until the end at least.
Now all I can think about is how amazing that peanut butter brownie gelato sounds! Yum!
Loved the report and can't wait to hear about Disneyland!
It tasted as amazing as it sounds.

From what I've heard the layout is the same, just smoother. I really need to get back there and ride it myself.
I didn't notice anything much "smoother" about it, as it jostled me just as much as always! lol But it was still so much fun!
Fantastic...
Right?!
Yeah... I'm the same way. Better to just be nice and not make a big deal of it, but when it gets to this extreme, it is time to let somebody know it is unacceptable. Sorry for the trouble, but I'm glad they at least got it to you quickly after this call.
I hated having to get ugly, but I was tired and ready to get those kids to bed! Not much upsets me on vacation except messing with my kids' sleep!
First of all, if she's wearing that, it probably says something about the amount of class she has and you can't expect the rest of the family to have more class than mama.
And those are the types you can never, ever get away from.
That's a VERY good point!!
That's great! I'm glad they took the time to make it a little special for her since she can't do anything in that park.
It was very sweet of the TMs there, and of course DD loved the attention.
It will certainly be nice to avoid swapping out and have her being bored.
I feel bad leaving her behind, but I know everyone will be happier with the arrangement! She will definitely enjoy some grandparents time instead of waiting around on us all day.
That really is a neat effect.
It's so cool how they managed to make it so authentic to the real King's Cross and to the books/movies!
Wow. 45 minute Express Pass???? Not much Express about that.
I know!!! We were like thanks but no thanks! I don't know if the ride had been down earlier or something to cause such a backup in both lines or what, but it was the longest Express line we encountered either day.
I love Hulk. No way would I let a few raindrops keep me from riding. Especially if I'm that close!
Yeah, after that long of a wait and being ready to board, I wasn't going to let the rain stop me either! Getting pelted in the face wasn't ideal, but it was still a fun ride! And good practice for September as I am preparing for a pretty rain-filled trip.
Thanks! I always enjoy your TRs. I'll have to check that one out once I get caught up.
