Those crowds are crazy! It looks so beautifully themed in that area. I really would like to get there one day and see it for myself.

Sounds like you had a blast at WWoHP. When we went, it was the Saturday after our Disney trip (read - tired and want to get on the road) and it was the day HP #7 part 1 came out. OMG - the crowds! We only got in one shop - Zonko's. We didn't get to ride anything OR even see the castle and use the chicken exit! We got butterbeer from a cart and got wands from a cart in front of the castle. When we got our chocolate frogs in Zonko's the CM's were downright rude! I had a Mickey t-shirt on and they said "Can't really say I like your shirt". This was after I had issues with getting the tickets in the first place! I was completely disappointed and angry. I felt like that was a total waste. I'm so glad you had a good time - I would hate to have anyone go through what we did.

Not sure I could handle the crowds, but I know for sure that I wouldn't be able to handle my shorts being on backwards. It would drive me batty!

all of the great pictures Cam! I knew you would take lots of pics!!
I think it is a really good idea that I don't take Allen during the summer! I am hoping that once school is back in session things will be a wee bit calmer! (but, then again....)
I am so glad that Stefanie was able to correct her shorts problem!
Now about that train conductor. What does he actually do? I mean, the train does not go anywhere, right?

WOW those are crazy crowds! I don't know if I could deal with all those people.
I just loved your pictures especially the one with Luke's reflection in the window that was such a great shot.

I was a bit behind but I am all caught up now. Your time in line seemed to go by quickly (at least while I was reading hehe). We will have to try to hit that park when Abby is a bit older.

Great update. Can't wait to read more.

Yikes! That is a lot of people! I'm so nervous about the crowds for our trip! Tyler is going to be so excited when he sees the WWOHP and you know how it goes- excitement goes up, ears shut off.

Can't wait for your next update!

You were so smart to head there early and get things done. Taking notes for when I finally make it there.

The crowds looks awful. I would never be able to get my husband to stay in a park that looked like that.
