Christmas with The Jacksons Part III & IV

Universal Studios & Magic Kingdom
Can I just tell you how excited I was to go to Universal Studios?!?  My mom wasn't feeling well so she decided to stay back at the hotel with Caleb & Olivia that day because we figured they needed a day to rest so they wouldn't be cranky for Magic Kingdom.  They had their own little fun though while we were at Universal Studios.  Caleb got a taste of what it would be like to have a baby around.




So while the 2 little ones were having a fun day with Grandma, I was having my own fun day.  I have always loved Universal Studios.  The Incredible Hulk coaster has always been one of my favs, this year however I had a NEW reason to go to Universal... The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. OMG SO MUCH FUN!  The main ride was broken (huge bummer), but this place is its own little theme park!!  You have to have a ticket to get in and there were literally lines waiting to get into the stores!!  There was the Hogwarts express, Zonko's, Honeydukes, The Three Broomsticks, Ollivanders... spectacular!   The best part of Hogsmeade (a wizard city for all of you non-HP nerds) was the butterbeer of course! If you ever have the chance to go, I highly recommend the frozen butterbeer, they say the on-the-rocks kind isn't quite as good.

Magic Kingdom... where dreams come true.  Our last full day in Florida was spent at Magic Kingdom, the perfect place to end your vacation.  There really are no words that can express Magic Kingdom, it's just pure fantasy, history, imagination, adventure, learning & so much more.  It's a place where people are all the same & even grown-ups are kids! :)  So I leave you with just pictures from our day at Magic Kingdom because after all, like Walt says, "pictures still speak the most universally understood language."




























I hope we get to take Caleb back one day when he's a little bit older.  Disney World truly is a magical place where anything can happen! :)
