You may have noticed that since May 26th I haven't been posting at all, and that is because on Saturday the 26th, I was woken by my mom at 5:45 AM, and she told me to come downstairs and that my cousins Spencer and Riley are coming. I ate my breakfast and they arrived and Riley found a package on our doorstep so she brought it in. We each found a letter inside addressed to us in it. The letters said they were from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and we opened them to find a letter saying that we were allowed to vacation at the Hogwarts in Orlando, Florida. Only I understood what it meant and we left right at that moment. Then we went there and the next day we went to Legoland in Florida (which is new and was made in October last year), and the rest of the days besides the 27th (when we went to legoland) and June 1st (when we went to Wet 'N Wild, a waterpark) we spent at Universal Studios which had Hogwarts in it. It was so cool! My favorite ride was one called The Mummy, which I honestly say was cooler than The Forbidden Journey (the Harry Potter ride, which is called the greatest ride on this part of the earth). I will add more details later, and I will answer any questions anysmurf has. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Here is something that I saw in Downtown Disney which is part of Disney world, but you don't need a ticket to get in. It's mostly shops and stuff. I thought this would appeal to Animator Smurf.

It was pretty good, it changed from being rainy one day and hot another day because there was a Tropical Storm up in the north of Florida. But the rain sometimes felt good because of all that Florida heat. So did the three rides where you get wet like Popeye's Blue Rat Barges (which my cousin Riley loves), Ripsaw Falls (one that's kinda like splash mountain in Disney World, if you've ever heard of that, except the Dudley Do-Right version), and Jurassic Park (which has dinosaurs and this one point where you're going towards a T-Rex in your boat and it suddenly drops vertically right in front of it. So yeah, it was very cool.

@Smurfette Yeah, the whole point of the ride is that you're supposed to be in a tour boat going through the areas where you see the gentle dinosaurs, but then you're boat goes off course to the area where they keep the big carnivorous dinosaurs. It was very fun, but a bit too scary for my little cousin Riley who just turned 7. (she came out crying) The weird thing is that my aunt says that she used to love roller coasters, and since they go to Disney world very often (and I've only been once, which was 2-3 years ago), she used to love riding the Mt. Everest ride, but now she hates roller coasters.
@Nurturer Thanks, my dad took the pictures since he has a phone and I don't.

I know, and the first time I rode that ride I was taken by surprise by that drop. I didn't get to see the picture that they took (On every ride there, at one point they take a picture) but in the picture I must've looked stupid. ( ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) )

Yeah, I mostly had a good time. but on the last day of vacation, something kinda went wrong. We were leaving the nice hotel that we were staying in and we were gonna stay for one night in this cheap one that my dad found off the internet for one night and leave the next day, but when we got to the other hotel the room looked like it could have been a set in a horror film. There was this one spot on the floor where an iron had melted a part of the floor, it was like a hole in the shape of an iron, when we plugged in the TV we heard a shock noise in the wall, there was a cobweb underneath the cabinet on which the TV was on, Casey (greedette) saw a bug on the bedside table, and the guy who showed us where our room is was nice but creepy in a way.
So, we mostly had a good time.

It was, and right by the door there was an ironing board hanging on the wall and right above there was a place where the iron was supposed to go, but it was gone. Who knows where it could've smurfed?

Well, I am a big fan of roller coasters, but that's just my opinion about them.
There's actually this one called dueling dragons which is supposed to take place in around the 4th harry potter book. As you're walking through an area to get to the actual ride, you get to see the Goblet of Fire and everything! It is so cool! And that is a ride that you go upside down on, the first upside down rollercoaster that I've ever went upside down on, and you get to choose between a red dragon and a blue dragon, the tracks are not the same. It is suspended, so you have to be careful to avoid dropping things.

i hope what i said about hating them didn't come off as offensive? i do like them but i'm too scared of them anymore is what i meant i've been wanting to try to get used to them again but i haven't had an opportunity in awhile now until just recently but because of money i had to choose between an amusement park and something else that i've wanted for years and can finally do and yeah i ended up choosing the other thing because if i don't do it now i'll never get to i'm not getting any younger after all :-D

No, what you said is fine. I was just saying that roller coasters are my favorite kind of ride.
