My surprise vacation is…..I’m going to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Universal Studios) and Walt Disney World!!
Recently my husband surprised me and by surprise I mean, he got me really, really good! I am obsessed with Harry Potter. I love the books, I love the movies. I love all of it. Well, recently Diagon Alley opened up at Universal Studios and I freaked out once I saw it and I sent him an email basically saying WE HAD TO GO. I didn’t even dream of going anytime soon, but little did I know that he had been planning away without me knowing. So guess what?!?! Yep! We are going to Universal Studios AND Disney World! WHAT?!?!?!!? I wish I could have had my reaction on video because I was so surprised and in shock that I could barely talk. We are going in September and I am SOOOO excited!!

I haven’t been to Disney World since I was really little and I only went once. I don’t really remember it. In fact, the only things I remember are eating some type of Mickey Mouse Ice Cream bars and I remember a couple of rides. I don’t even remember Dumbo!! How sad, but that is all about to change! We will be spending 6 days at Disney World. I can’t wait to just act like a kid and have fun.
Since finding out that we are going, I have been researching like crazy! I’m already planning my outfits and what Mickey Mouse Ears I want to pick up when I’m at Walt Disney World! One must have Mouse Ears at Disney World!! I also have a list for when we are at Universal Studios. I have to go to Ollivanders and get my wand because obviously I’m going to need to be a Wizard while I’m there and a Wizard needs her wand! You might even see me sporting some Gryffindor attire- You never know!! I’ll probably just be the girl Muggle stuffing her face full of Butterbeer and Chocolate Frogs. If you haven’t read the books or seen the movies-you’re probably really confused at this point.
So my question is for those of you who have been to both Universal Studios and Disney World. Any tips and tricks? Anything that I MUST know before I go? Obviously, be prepared to see tons of pictures soon! If you aren’t following me on Instagram, you really should!!
I am sooooo EXCITED for you!!!! I am also OBSESSED with Harry Potter and want to go to Universal sooooo bad!!! I have also never been to Disney and want to go there too!!! Can’t wait to read your posts about it!!!
Girl, there will be tons of pictures and vlogging for sure!
So, I have to admit that I’m not a Harry Potter fan, but I am definitely a Disney fan. That hubby of yours is a keeper!
Hey that’s ok!!! It’s not for everyone! He is totally a keeper!!! I’m extremely lucky!
That is so sweet of your husband to surprise you like that!! I have been dying to go to Harry Potter World. I’m excited to see what you think!
He is so sweet and I was totally blown away and shocked. That’s for sure! I can’t wait to go!
So exciting! I’ve been seeing pix from people who’ve already been and I am so jealous!
I can’t wait!!! I am hoping it won’t be crazy, crazy busy, but I’m prepared for it!
Ooooh!! So jealous! You are definitely going to have so much fun. We were just in Disney but didn’t get to the Harry Potter ride because it was just too crowded. It is definitely on our list when we return…Enjoy and have Fun!
Thank you!!! I followed and saw all of your Disney pictures! It got me even more excited, lol!
This is amazing!!! How lucky are you?
Very lucky!! I can’t wait!! Thanks for stopping by the blog!!
I went to Universal Studios Orlando last year on New Years Eve and had a blast. We couldn’t get on the Harry Potter ride because my youngest daughter wasn’t tall enough and we didn’t want to leave her out. But I will say Harry Potter section of the park is really fun and makes you feel like you’re apart of the movie/book.
Disney World I went a couple of years ago and had a blast!
Don’t worry girl, you’ll have a lot of fun! You have one lucky husband!
I am so jealous! Happy vacation!
