![]() ![]() ![]() Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter Entrance After arriving at Watford Junction (fifteen minutes from London Euston), it was a quick shuttle bus ride (costing £2 for a return) to the Leavesden Studios. With a rail card a ticket from Telford to Watford Junction cost around £15 outbound and £10 inbound, compared to the cost of petrol at the moment (£1.35 per litre for unleaded at Telford ASDA) the rail tickets were a complete bargain. Deciding I ought to make more of an effort with my father, his Nottingham family and my brother and so I accompanied them, naturally it helped the ticket was bought for me, I just had to get there.Ĭhoosing to travel by train to save on petrol and mileage allowance, I set off from Telford Central at 11am. On Tuesday (4th September) I went to The Making of Harry Potter at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, click here to view the blog archive without having to scroll down this page.

I'm sure my daughter was sick of it by the time we left. I'm sure Jen can give you better recommendations on the current parks, but it seems like Magic Kingdom is more fun, and Epcot is more educational. I thought the best thing in Epcot was the golf ball ride :P, Figment, and the Norwegian ride, and they got rid of the Norwegian ride and revamped Figment). The front area of the park isn't as bad walking-wise, but the exhibits were geared more towards education and less towards fun, from what I remember (caveat: last visit was in 1997, so some things have definitely changed since then. The World Showcase in Epcot is kind of neat to walk through and take pictures, but it's a long walk, and there isn't much to do in each of the areas besides gift shops. There are some cool things in Epcot, but there are more of them at Magic Kingdom. I personally prefer Magic Kingdom to Epcot, given the choice between the two, unless they've significantly changed the big areas in Epcot. Though maybe all the crazy drivers went home the same time we did. From tourists that stop on a dime and change lanes without notice to Florida residents who also change lanes without notice and can't decide whether they're speeding or going 15 under the speed limit, it was an occasionally frustrating experience. We went there last week on vacation, and I had a new appreciation for Jen's reluctance to drive anywhere. I'm not usually a water snob, but the water there is really gross without a filter. Everywhere I've stayed in Orlando/Kissimmee area has awful tap water. Since you're only there 3 days, it's probably better to bite the bullet and pay the bigger fees than to squander 2 hours of your vacation.Ī small Orlando tip: be prepared to buy/bring bottled water (if you drink water at all). We own a timeshare, and sat through the presentation to get discounted tickets at the place we were staying, and 1 day at Universal Studios was STILL $96, so if you're going to bite the bullet and take the timeshare presentation, go for one of the $39 ones advertised along I-75. If you're a frequent traveler, and have lots of money to burn, the annual pass is probably the best way to go there, but only if you know you're going a lot during the year. We went on a Tuesday, which is one of the least busy days for most theme parks.ĭisney gets less expensive the more days you go (and I think there's a slight discount over buying on the website vs buying at the gate). It was the longest wait of everything we went on, at 45 minutes, but the line was 55 minutes when we entered the park. The Minion Mayhem ride has the worst line on the way in, but it gets a little better after lunch when most people are at the back of the park waiting for the Gringott's ride. Don't miss the Mummy ride! It's one of our favorites in the park (along with the Men in Black ride, but that's partly because we're a video gaming family). It's probably the most economical way to do that particular theme park, but it's only good for residents of the US, Canada, and Mexico, and it has to be done through the website. If you're from North America, there's a website deal on universal's website to get 3 days for the price of 2.
