Walt Disney World hotel

One of the newest and best Walt Disney World hotel spots is the Disney’s BoardWalk Inn resort. It includes guest rooms and villas; the guest rooms are what I am talking about today in this Walt Disney World hotel review.

Disney’s BoardWalk Inn resort is a Disney Deluxe Resort designed to provide everything you ever wanted from a hotel. The sherbet-colored facades, striped awnings, turrets and whimsical elephant fountains make this Walt Disney World hotel unique.

Disney’s BoardWalk inn resort is a destination all to itself and features 372 guest rooms, 20,000 square feet of meeting space, several restaurants and many recreational activities. It’s part of Disney’s Boardwalk area, a full entertainment and shopping location itself.

Harry Potter merchandise shops

Many Harry Potter fans have been asking me just what kinds of Harry Potter merchandise shops are in the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios.

With now over 1,000 licensed new Harry Potter merchandise items to choose from, all exclusive to the Harry Potter theme park, there is a lot to find. You can only buy them here, nowhere else. All the other items you see in toy stores and so on are replicas, not officially licensed items.

There are basically five different shops inside the Harry Potter land where you can purchase Harry Potter merchandise. All but one are located in the Hogsmeade village. The other one is located inside the Hogswart’s castle. Here’s the list:
