Today we started out our first of three days at Universal Orlando. Today we went to Islands of Adventure. I couldn’t find any islands but we had a good time anyway.

Universal doubled their attendance once the procured all rights to Harry Potter from J. K. Rowling. They have the Harry Potter theme in both of their parks so you have to go from one to another to see it all!
Of course we had to try the ButterBeer. You would think at six buck a glass it would have alcohol. Very sweet butterscotch taste.
The only problem was that the restaurant we scheduled into our supper stop was closed at 5 PM. Oh well, the street food of Universal got us a burger.
Tomorrow Universal Two.
