Star Wars Celebration V convention in Orlando this weekend

star wars

As usual I’m late in getting this out, but hopefully some will find it useful. This weekend, from August 12-15, at the Orange county convention center on International drive in Orlando is Star Wars Celebration V!

It’s going to be a very big convention for Star Wars lovers, with lots going on and things to see. Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill will be there, and George Lucas will be interviewed by Jon Stewart onstage Saturday morning. Errr, that’s today, sorry!

I always like the sexy babes that show up at these shows wearing Star Wars themed outfits. That means lots of Princess Leia outfits, including that steel bondage getup she was in with Jabba the Hut!

Walt Disney World raises ticket prices again

Walt Disney World tickets!
Park Hopper, Multi-day tickets and more at discount prices!

Well it happens every year, so I guess it’s not a surprise to anyone. Walt Disney World has just announced that they are again raising their ticket prices. The new prices went into effect August 5th.

Disney now has the price of a one-day, one-park adult ticket to $82.00. They also raised the prices of their popular multiday-ticket packages and park hopper ticket deals.

Even the price of an annual pass will cost more. Normally it’s no surprise for Disney to raise their ticket prices each year. However with the economy so bad and people all over hurting it does seem a bit odd to be raising prices this year.

My new Orlando pet store website, Orlando Pet Services!

Orlando pet shops and services

Click here to see Orlando Pet Services website

Well everyone, today I wanted to share my latest website I made! Since this site is about Orlando theme parks and attractions, I thought I would open up a site about Orlando area pet services, pet stores, pet shops and more.

Now, even though it’s about Orlando pet services, it also will have plenty of general pet care, reviews and information about pets that anyone can find helpful even if they are not coming to Orlando.

But for those that are or live in Orlando, Orlando Pet Services will really be a helpful site for you. I will make reviews about the local dog parks, where to find specialty pet food and treats, pet friendly hotels and bars in Orlando and so on.

Second Harry Potter wand cart at Harry Potter land

Harry Potter wand cart

Just wanted to show you a quick few pictures of the outside cart that sells the Harry Potter magic wands. Ollivander’s wand shop at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter has been packed full since the park opened with lines up to an hour wait.

So they quickly made another outside cart filled with the most popular Harry Potter wands. It’s over by the Forbidden Journey ride at the end of the park. It does not carry all the different wands that you can find inside Ollivander’s.

Harry Potter wands inside Ollivander’s magic wand shop at Universal Studios

Harry Potter wands at Ollivander’s magic wand shop inside Universal Studios

One of the most popular items to buy inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios is a Harry Potter wand inside Ollivander’s magic wand shop. In fact there has been up to a two hour wait to get into the shop!

But there has been some confusion about what types of magic wands you can buy there. Ollivander’s magic wand shop is based on the same magic shop in the Harry Potter movies.

In the movie the wand “picked” Harry Potter. At the Ollivander’s magic wand shop at Harry Potter theme park the shop keeper ask every 20th or so kid to step up to the table. He then puts on a show and has a wand pick the kid.

Waist bags or fanny hip packs to carry stuff in for theme park rides

hip packs to carry your stuff in on theme park rides

One of the biggest problems people face when they go to a theme park is where to put their stuff when they go on a ride? Almost all rides at theme parks today do not allow you to hold or bring anything with you.

That includes purses, bottles and camera bags around your neck or shoulder. Anything that moves around will not be allowed on. It does not matter if you insist that you can hold onto it, ride operators have rules they have to follow. And one is, nobody brings anything on a ride!

Backpacks also are not permitted on most rides because you can’t get into the seat without taking it off. If you do have bulky items like these there are lockers you can get to put your items in while your on rides.

Hogswart’s Castle Picture Slideshow From Harry Potter Theme Park

Hogswart's castle at Harry Potter land

I’ve been going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter a lot, so I thought it was about time to show you some Harry Potter pictures! This is a slide show of Hogswart’s castle from different angles outside, as well as pictures inside.

All the pictures you see from the inside of the castle is what you see when your in the queue line. There are many props from the Harry Potter movies, as well as fantastic replicas of professor Dumbeldore’s office and more.

If you go in the single rider line you don’t get to see all this great stuff. So if you go on the forbidden journey ride by yourself you might want to go at least once on the normal queue line to see all this.

My Review of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride review

Hogswart’s Castle, home of the forbidden journey ride

Wow have I been busy at the new Wizarding world of Harry Potter park inside Universal Studios! Today I want to give you my Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride review. Yes I got to go on it and it’s a must see for Harry Potter fans.

So let’s start from the beginning. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride is located inside the Hogswart’s castle replica, along with most of the queue line. Just outside the big entrance way made in the side of the rock wall is test seats.

You can actually be too BIG to go on the ride, so if your a large person it’s a good idea to test those out first. The seats you sit in are a bit snug, and a one piece rigid shoulder harness comes down and locks in place over you.
