Symbol Key

In order to best understand my reviews, here's how to decode the symbols that I have used:

PRICING:

$$= Entrees average $20-$29
$$$= Entrees average $30 or more

LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY IN GETTING A RESERVATION:
Easy= Can book within the week of travel or possibly walk-in
Moderate= Tough to get desired time, but usually some availability
Hard= Must book 180 days out, or luck into a cancellation

RATING OF APPEAL TO KID-DINERS:
Are we done yet???= Little to offer in terms of exciting atmosphere or entertainment
This is cool! = A moderatly entertaining environment, that should keep your littles entertained for the majority of the meal.
What rides??? = Will entertain and delight your child enough to make them willing to forfeit another go-around on Dumbo

Tinkin' About... Back to Hogwarts Day!

Good Morning, Tinkers!

     Not sure if the Muggles are aware of this, but today is Back to Hogwarts Day! School starts up every year on this day for us witches and wizards. In honor of this special day, I thought I would take you all on a mini-photo safari of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.
     If you're a Harry Potter fan and you haven't gotten there yet, you MUST plan a trip as soon as you can! It's more "right out of the movie" than almost ANY other land I have experienced in a theme park, (the one exception being Carsland in California Adventure). You truly get to see what it's like stroll the streets of Diagon Alley, to ride the Hogwarts Express, and to arrive in Hogsmeade. Then you even get to explore the interior of Hogwarts Castle, as you wind through the queue of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.
     Now, in all honesty, I have yet to ride any of the rides. Partially because I haven't been there at times when it was convenient to do so, and partially because I am a scaredy cat. I know, Booooooooooo! I'm working on it, ok? In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this photographic trip into Harry's world. Oh, and safe travels back to Hogwarts today! I think I hear the Hogwarts Express coming, so you better head on out to Platform 9 3/4 and be ready! Have a great year!
