Harry Potter World

It is a strange thing to stay in a hotel over Christmas - especially somewhere warm (Florida). But Harry Potter World makes it much more bearable.....
The place itself is amazing. The attention to detail will astound you. You stand in the town of Hogsmead - with the roof tops covered in snow (I did mention it was warm, right??) and you look up and there it is...Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft!!
The Rides: In the Hogwarts castle there is the Harry Potter Experience. This is the ride that lets you ride a broomstick with Harry - chased by dragons and flying around the castle - great Ride!! There are also a set of dueling roller coasters - Quite impressive.
Merchandising: Take lots of money. there is lots of merchandising - and it is all very cool (although somewhat useless).
