Krystal's Fall pre-trip/trip report

On 9/26 We used early park admission to get into IOA early did the Harry Potter rides and did some shopping . http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/1069151_10202246624070354_1999519938_n_zps32101256.jpg http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/conductor_zps378a6a29.jpg I bought a replica of Sirius Black's wand and had it sent to our room (loved this perk at both Universal and Disney). http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/wand_zpsa08f38d9.jpg This was our third trip to Universal in the last two years but it was out first staying on site and using the early admission. We thought the early park admission was great, we had never seen the Wizarding World area so empty before. We ate breakfast at the Three Broomsticks a little pricey but it was good. http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/20130926_085341_zps4391bfae.jpg http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/20130926_085417_zpsb7c5b43c.jpg http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/20130926_085402_zps5757a9f3.jpg http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/20130926_091846_zps192c433d.jpg http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/20130926_092115_zpsbd2e56fd.jpg http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/hogshead_zps4bd2792d.jpg http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/taps_zps0f0fc6e1.jpg http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/20130926_092214_zps8121db88.jpg http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/20130926_092315_zpsd494599d.jpg http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/20130926_092332_zpsccc20895.jpg We had two American breakfasts, the continental, and the pancake breakfast between the four of us. We finished up in the park after a walk through Seuss Landing pausing for a ride on the Caroseussel http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/caroseussel_zps541d6f15.jpg and rides on the Hulk, Dr. Doom, the Storm Force Accelatron and Spiderman. http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/943520_43458093_zps9e357ee1.jpg We went back to the hotel and took a nap then we were back up and in Universal Studios by 4:40 for our dinner reservation at Finnegan's. It was our first time at Finnegan's and we all thought it was delicious and priced really well. I ordered the dublin chicken sandwich I also got a rum neuralyzer in one of their souvenir bowl glasses which they had sent back to the hotel for me. We shared two apps the potato and onion webb so good with vinegar and the shrimp scargo very very yummy! They checked our tickets for Halloween Horror Nights while we were eating and when we were done we went out to the waiting area for early entry into HHN. http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/krystaltabay86/943520_43528924_zpse05afc13.jpg We had a total blast at HHN there's just something really satisfying about hearing your 23 and 21 year old cousin and brother scream like little girls lol. We did Havoc 2, Afterlife, La Larona, and Evil Dead this night along with the Bill and Ted's show this night and saved the other four houses and the Rocky Horror Picture show for the next night. We all felt it was a step up from last year's event. I got a little shock when we went through Havoc. It was still partially daylight since we had early admission, as we were going through there was an area with a long cage along one wall with two altered soldiers in it. The first one scarred me and I didn't see but the cage was open on the opposite end and the other soldier went to the end of the cage and leaned out as I was walking past and creepily whispered "Happy Birthday" he must have seen my birthday button and it about made me jump out of my skin lol! When we were done getting scarred my brother and cousin went to play mini golf in citywalk, we played both courses last year and we love the themeing of both, my hubby and I went back to the hotel got a piece of flourless chocolate cake from Jake's American Grill ,sooo good, and then went to bed.
