Hello, anyone who actually reads this blog! It's been quite a while. But I've had good reasons! (Most of which are related to school, college applications, and the super-amazing-fantastic vacation I went on over Christmas break.)
Where did I go on this awesome vacation? Universal (Wizarding World of Harry Potter!) and Disney World! How insanely awesome is that?
Our first stop was Universal, where we stayed at the lovely Portofino Hotel.

| Isn't it gorgeous? |
I wanted to spend every second of our time in Harry Potter World, but it was ridiculously crowded, so I just ended up spending most of my time there. The first night we were there, my sister and I went to the parks while everyone else stayed at the hotel, so she got to witness my initial reaction, which involved more excitement than I've felt in forever. Everything about Harry Potter world (aside from the crowds) is simply amazing and I wish I could just live there.

We all got chocolate frogs, which are wonderful, but I'm still trying to figure out how to eat it. It's solid chocolate, so I nearly broke my teeth trying to bite it. The chocolate cauldrons are equally yummy and much easier to eat. The butterbeer was also amazing, though it's so sweet I wouldn't want to drink much of it at a time. I recommend the frozen butterbeer.

The rides are also amazing, though the wait for the Forbidden Journey is as crazy as everyone says. Luckily, they opened the ride at 6:30 a.m. for resort guests (because of the crowds), so we only had to wait an hour.
I also enjoyed Seuss Landing and several rides in Universal Studios. The roller coasters were especially awesome. Seuss Landing was my second favorite place at Universal. I adore Dr. Seuss and they got everything perfect. I particularly recommend the Cat in the Hat ride and the Trolley, both of which I did three times because I'm really a little kid at heart.

 |
| Yum, Chocolate Frogs! |
We spent three days at Universal, and the next seven at Disney World!
 |
| We had lunch at Akershus and got to meet several of the princesses there. |
Sarah and I, sometimes along with Violette and Sam, were on a mission to get as many signatures as possible. We got a lot of them, including the princesses, classic characters, and a whole bunch of others. The most effort was probably waiting three and a half hours in the rain to see Anna and Elsa. (If you haven't seen Frozen yet, go see it because it is incredibly beautiful and wonderful and amazing.)
 |
| We're super adorable. |
 |
| Anastasia, Drizella, and Lady Tremaine were hilarious! Mom told me to grimace, but apparently Sarah and Violette didn't get the memo. |
 |
| Look at my new dress! It's fun to spin in. |
 |
| I got this book in the UK section of Epcot and I'm super in love with it. It might just be one of the coolest books ever. Also, please notice the wonderful tiara I got for Christmas. Thank you, Santa. |
Everyone had so much fun, despite the crowds being completely ridiculous.
 |
| We ate at the Be Our Guest restaurant and, of course, had the grey stuff. It really is delicious! |
|
 |
| I love every part of Mary Poppins' outfit and I would wear that dress everyday. Every single day. |
So that's my story about my superbly amazing time in Florida this Christmas. I hope everyone else had a lovely holiday as well.
