Long day's journey into DIAGON ALLEY

Day one of vacation started with getting up at 4 AM for a 6 Am flight . Amazingly enough we actually got to Orlando at 930 but then it took till almost 11 Am  to get the car. So we headed to the hotel , paid a fee for an early check in (small of them , I feel- said my husband) and headed to Universal Studios: the sole purpose of which was to see the Harry Potter world.So today we went to Universal studios for part 1- Diagon Alley. There are some shops  and the restaurant is The Leaky Cauldron. There is also the famous station on the " London "side with the Hogwart 's Express which you can with the right kind of ticket , take to the other park and Hogwart's itself. The main attraction on this side, and I think the only ride , is Escape from Gringott's - a 3Dsim ride following Harry , Ron and Hermione and the dragon out of the vaults. The entrance is well done. Gringott's building is especially coo because of the dragon hanging out on the roof . It belches out flame about every 10 minutes. See extras!
Frankly the rest of the park was OK but I still like Disney better.We'll see what tomorrow brings.
