The day at Epcot was beautiful and not even too hot! We totally lucked out with the weather and it barely rained the entire time we were in Florida!
After spending two days in the parks we needed a brake so we spent a day shopping and relaxing and a day in Jacksonville seeing Alyson and Kenny's home!
After getting all rested up we headed to the Magic Kingdom. It was in the Magic Kingdom that I got to see my totally cool former roommate Mehlanie! Mehlanie knows more about everything Disney than anyone else in the world.
After riding Pirates of the Caribbean my dad decided he would rather be a pirate than a PR guy.
The next two days were spent at each of the Universal parks, Islands of Adventure then Universal Studios. The highlight of both days was Harry Potter World. We missed the opening of Diagon Alley in Universal Studios by just a couple of weeks which was disappointing, but Hogsmeade and Hogwarts were AMAZING. The ride inside the castle is hands down the coolest ride I have ever ridden in my entire life.
Don't even worry, we spent some time in Springfield with the Simpsons, but the best part of that was the doughnut that was as big as my head. It was delicious!!
I also couldn't get over how much minion stuff there was to buy! I just wanted to buy it all because minions are the best!
(This is just one wall in an entire store dedicated only to minions)
On our last day we went to Disney Studios. I don't think I have ever been so hot in my life. We happened to be there on the most crowded weekend of the year - Star Wars weekend. Mark Hamel was even there, but we were there for the rides, not some old actors. Luckily, I got to see Mehlanie one last time.
Overall, the week was a blast and I can't wait to go back again! Although I love the Universal parks, there's just nothing that can match the atmosphere and magic in the Disney parks! And they're a million times better when shared with family and friends!!
