I realized I never posted any pics from our honeymoon! Not sure if you knew we went to the Harry Potter theme park in Florida. Well, it's not a whole theme park, it's a section within Universal Studios Orlando. But it was amazing!!
So you first enter into Hogsmeade and see the train station. Nick and I were so overwhelmed by the total awesome-ness of it all. It's like the books came to life for us! (Cute vintage luggage right?)
Honeydukes candy shop. Yum!
hehe, he's so cute ;)
Hogwarts! So legit.
Zonko's joke shop!
They also had Ollivanders, The Owl Post & we ate at The Three Broomsticks. We had butterbeer and pumpkin juice, yum! Well, Nick liked butterbeer better than I did. It was interesting. We went on The Dragon Challenge and Harry Potter & the Forbidden Journey, it was intense! Totally had to close my eyes ;)
and guess what? When we were walking through Hogwart's, they had different rooms and displays set up and I totally saw a few of the exact same props/decorations I had at my wedding! Remember I posted some inspiration boards and mentioned some sort of Harry Potter decor. That made me happy :) It would have been awesome to have been the set decorator for this theme park. They had a lot of vintage/antique market finds in the shop displays too, so fun!
The pictures just don't do the park justice. You really have to go for yourself if you're a fan of Harry Potter.
Then we went on a cruise around the Bahamas, but my battery was low. (what was I thinking not bringing my charger?) so I busted out the good old disposable camera for the rest of the time. The cruise was nice and relaxing and fun! The theme park was definitely the highlight of the trip though, and Nick talked about wanting to go back to Hogwarts throughout our whole cruise ;)
wooww! did you get to drink butterbeer at the three broomsticks by any chance!? looks like you had an awesome time, thank you for sharing these =D
ReplyDeleteHow awesome! My hubby and I are planning on going for our 35th birthday in September. :)
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are fabulous. Can't wait to visit this place one day myself. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteAw, what fun! :) Thanks for sharing. I live about 10 minutes from Universal and I've been waiting for the crowds to die down before checking the HP deal out.. I ought to go soon!
ReplyDeleteThose suitcases are lovely! How fun!
ReplyDeleteI live in Orlando and finally got to go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Wasnt it just AMAZING?! Love the pictures!! <333
ReplyDeleteohhh you are so so lucky to have gone there! it sounds like you had an amazing time. i've wanted to go from the moment i heard it was opening. i hope i get to someday, it looks as wonderful as i imagined.
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing!! And so cool that they had some of the exact finds that you had at your wedding!! So funny, in between all the craft fairs we went to this weekend, Mardy and I had managed to watch all 6 of the Harry Potter movies! He had never seen them before, but it was so cute how much he loved them - his eyes were glued to the movies the whole time :) So I think he'd really love a trip out there too! :)
ReplyDeleteaww so magical!!! I so want to go someday ^,^
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I'm dying to go to Hogwarts!! My brother went to FL for business last week and cannot stop talking about how awesome it was. I am so jealous. Of Hogwarts AND the Bahamas. But mostly Hogwarts.
ReplyDeleteI love the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! I love your blog posts! They're always so fun to read! ^_^!

ReplyDeletewow, that looks amazing!! I want to go so badly! My husband and I go down to Key West every year to see my dad, and I'm definitely thinking a stop in Orlando is called for ;)
ReplyDeleteHogwarts was still being built the last time I was there and I never got to see what it looked like inside. What a great job done by Universal!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are fun and totally make me want to go back ASAP!
Thanks soooo much for sharing!

My fiance and I are planning our honeymoon and were thinking about doing pretty much the same trip as you! we wanted to do a caribbean cruise but I've been working on convincing him we should stop at harry potter world first. This post was the perfect way to convince him!
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter World here we come!
Danni! You and your hubby are adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteoh! I was just there in October, and it exceeded my expectations. It was absolutely amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm also impressed with how you managed to photograph it and make it look like it wasn't jam-packed with tourists. nice documentation :)
This pics are so great! They make me want to go there next year when it warms up. I hope that you had a lovely honeymoon ^_^
ReplyDeleteOMG i want to go there!
ReplyDeletemagical photos!
I'm so glad to hear this. I've been wanting to go but haven't heard any feed back on it yet and didn't want to make the long trip from Arizona if it was cheesy or disappointing. I'm kind of excited!
ReplyDeletecongratulations to you newlyweds! you make an adorable couple.
ReplyDeleteyour pics are fabulous, as always.
WOW that Hogswart's is insane!!! I'm going to Disney next August and I'll try to get here too!! =)

I would buy ALL the candy. ALL of it.
ReplyDeleteooooh i've been itching to go since i heard this was being built! it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a good honeymoon idea! I really want to do something fun when I get married, and my boyfriend is a total HP nerd!
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't know there was such a Hogwarts. I guess I am going to start believing!

I didn't even know that a place like that existed! My fiance and I have been reading/watching all of the Harry Potters this whole week and I think it would be amazing to go to a place like that for our honeymoon. So cool!
ReplyDeleteOh, Danni, sounds amazing!!! I love it! Everytime I see photos from that place, I want to go! I suppose it'd be best to wait 'til the kids are older and able to appreciate it too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic place to go! I neeeed to get there some day.
ReplyDeleteI'm going here in a couple weeks and I'm so glad you took photos because I haven't seen any good ones out on the internet! Now I know to expect true awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteSo amazing!! I can't wait to see your disposables, either. Congrats again <3
ReplyDeleteIl semble que vous soyez un expert dans ce domaine, vos remarques sont tres interessantes, merci.

You guys are a pair of true dorks. Funny that you enjoyed the theme park more than the cruise. I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves.
ReplyDeleteI loved this so much - I had to include you in my nerd story:
