As at Disney, there is no shortage of places to eat at Universal. We went on Wednesday afternoon after Chris was done at the office. It was a good time to go as the crowds were thinning out, which didn't mean we were there alone by any stretch. We stood in the queue for the Harry Potter ride for an hour. Part of the expeience of the ride is going through the line which wends it way through the castle until at one point, it appears that Harry and Ron and Hermoine are standing on a balcony explaining the ride to you. It was very difficult to discern that they weren't real people. Authenticity is their objective. More pics of that journey later. The evening had freshened up by the time we were through the ride and from there we wandered through parts of the park that were of interest. The evening crowd was arriving for the night scene but we were home by nine or thereabouts. I would love to go again to visit the various haunts but this was Mike's show as he wanted to see the Potter exhitit exclusively. He was very impressed. The locales in the book were recreated to the nth degree and you felt once again, a total immersion in the environment. More later.
We are off this morning to the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bayhill. No photos as cameras aren't allowed. Could be another long day. Back soon!
