Food Finds on Vacation in Orlando

   We are total food nerds, so when we go on vacation we want to eat the foods of the town. Orlando has so many great places to check out, it was tough to decide where to go.

   On our first afternoon we headed to Downtown Disney to find lunch and ended up at Ragland Road Irish Pub. We tried their chicken and chips, chicken battered like fish would be. Hubby got a Guinness  to try as well. It was delicious and set in a fun restaurant. That night we went out to get some dinner and weren’t sure what we would find.  We went to a pizza place called Anthony’s that surprised us with an amazing pizza. Now no pizza could be considered a bad one, but there are definitely some good ones and some amazing ones. This one was up there with the amazing ones.  We choose the Philly Cheesesteak and I was happy to see that there was a lot of meat that was seasoned, and cut into strips instead of looking more like ground beef. It had a nice thin brick oven crust that was thin and perfectly crispy.

Visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

   If you know me in real life then you know that Harry Potter is a slight obsession of mine. I have seen the movies so many times I can pretty much say the lines with them, I have read the books and read a lot of random facts about the magical world. Now finally I can say I have been to Hogwarts, I’ve flown on the Quiditch patch, I got to go to Diagon alley, pick a wand, and shop in Weasley’s Wizards Wheezes Shop. Guys I got to experience the world of Harry Potter and let me say it was one of the top experiences of my life.

   We took our vacation this year to Orlando, Florida and spent 3 days at Universal Studios, a day at Sea World, and a day relaxing. It was filled with food, fun, and magic.  Today I am going to share with you what we did and saw in Hogsmead and Diagon Alley. So be prepared for a pretty photo heavy post. I want to start with saying that I don’t really do roller coasters or rides that turn me many ways, I did though agree to ride all in the Wizarding World, and that I did and they were a lot of fun. The detail that was put into each ride and experience was incredible.  The Forbidden Journey was the very best ride that I have ever been on and Hubby’s too, who has been on many rides. I did learn that 3D and 4D rides are not nearly as bad because you are immersed in the experience.
