And we did it! The new Diagon Alley and Hogwarts Express! We got to the park for the early open time and headed right to Diagon Alley. We rode the Gringotts ride (no 7 hour line). We enjoyed exploring the shops. We hopped on the Hogwarts Express to Hogsmeade, where some enjoyed Butterbeer while others rode the Dragon, Hippogriff and Hogwarts rides. We then walked through Islands of Adventure and then took the train back to Diagon Alley for lunch at The Leaky Cauldron. Some ride on the ET ride then the Minions ride (which I loved). Back to Hogsmeade and the Jurassic Park ride. Chloe rode the Hulk on her won twice. The kids found a friend from home, and we lost Mary Irene. We walked to the other park for the Mummy Ride over and over. We got back to the hotel at 9pm, and the littles went to the pool and lazy river on their own.
