Southern Belles: Universal Again, Water Rides, Simpsons and Goodbye

Natali and I woke early the next morning, skipped breakfast and hoped on the shuttle.  Natali got right in line to enter the park and I went to Voodoo Donuts to get us some tasty breakfast.  I sat down outside the Hogwarts castle and ate my enormous apple fritter until Natali joined me and we got on the Hogwarts Express to the other park. 

 

Keeley and Natali headed for the big rides while I rode ET, and Woody the Woodpecker rides with the littles. 

 






We met back up in Simpson’s land to take some pics for the boys and eat lunch.  

 


We tried to ride the MIB ride all together to end the day but halfway through the line they closed the ride.  We said goodbye to the Dames so they could get home before bedtime and Natali and I headed through Diagon Alley for the last time and even checked out Olivander’s Wand shop. Then we jumped back on the Hogwarts Express to go cool off on the other water rides.

We decided that Dudley DoRight’s was a great ride but poorly named.  We got pretty wet but not as bad as the first day.  

 

Natali managed to ride rides till the place closed again and then we ate at this Mexican restaurant.  Let me tell you – this corn dip, esquites, was so delicious.  By far the best dish we had on the whole trip.  

After two days in the park our feet were absolutely exhausted; we had walked nearly a marathon.  And after three full days of wearing masks, we were ready for mellow mask-free day.
