Day 1026: Wizarding World

We love the Harry Potter stories.  Are we weird?  If we are, so are millions of other adults from around the world.  Thousands of them were there today.  In costumes, waving wands, riding crazy rides, buying owls and drinking butter beer.  The attention to detail in the sets, costumes and props was remarkable.  Kids were carrying interactive wands and at certain stations, they could perform a spell and make it rain, or turn out lights.

Apparently, I am not meant to be an astronaut, ride a broom or play play quiddich.    I'm not afraid, I have tremendous desire,  but I also have terrible motion sickness.  Cody warned me.  Don't try "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey."   It made him sick and he's a Disney pro.   But everyone else wanted to do it.  I thought closing my eyes would be enough.  It wasn't. Steve and Steve had to hold me up to get to the first aid room where I sat, panting and sweating, till I regained my equilibrium.

I'm glad we could be here with family and help Nancy, but I'm sure we will never do another Orlando park again.  Tomorrow is our last day together and we'll spend it in the lazy river and then have a final dinner.    The swimming has been an extra treat.  Again tonight, the pool was empty and I swam under a starry sky.  So lovely.  So many blessings!

Butterbeer!
