An extremely late trip report: WDW Sept 2010

Yes, I know this is a very late report, but I'm determined to do it! As usual, I traveled to Disney World with my bestie Megan and her 8 year old son Brett. Originally, we had discussed going to Disneyland because we had never been before. However, we just couldn't pass another trip to Walt Disney World and decided to go there instead. I am also a HUGE Harry Potter fan so we decided to dedicate a morning to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios.

We left in the afternoon and headed toward St. Louis to fly out. I'm not sure how I managed to do this, but I got us lost on the way.:veryconfu Megan revoked my direction rights, but she gave them back later that day.

On the way from the airport to the Crown Plaza that we stayed at for the one night, I managed to get us lost again - this time while holding a GPS. I'm still not sure how I did that, but my direction rights taken away for the rest of...well, I actually still haven't gotten them back lol.

We where not pleased with the Crown Plaza. Maybe its because we are used to the excellent cast members and magic from the Disney hotels, but the staff at the Crown Plaza was not very friendly. I would like to remind you that there are 3 people traveling in our group - they gave us a room with one queen sized bed. Megan marched back down to the lobby and explained the situation to the girl at the desk. the girl was pretty much like "oh well, deal with it". Although I was not a witness, I'm sure Megan literally had smoke coming out of her ears, and demanded another room, which we got.

The next morning we got up a the crack of dawn and headed to Universal Studios.

Because the Harry Potter section is the newest edition, we knew everyone would be there. So we waited in line for a while, and when the gates finally opened we all but ran to the Forbidden Journey - the main attaction!

WOO TRIP REPORT! I forgot about the CL bus! Its hilarious how pretty much any hobo on a school bus could probably show up on DIsney property and tell us they are taking us where we wanted to go, and we would hop on no questions asked. And yet I keep my house locked up like Fort Knox in the middle of the daytime...

Um, yes, her nose was huge! oh, and you cant really tell in the picture, but
I'm pretty sure Snow White had a mustache :ROFLOL:

:lol:i thought Disney went through a rigorous process to find their princesses?? or maybe I just assumed that since they should look perfect

And love the birds eye view of the magic kingdom and the surrounding resorts! If you look at the walt disney world speedway to the right of the picture you can see the mickey face in the middle of the speedway on the grass! thought that was pretty cool!
