This was yet another long day. Anyone who does this hobby long enough can tell you when they’ve booked these kind of days into the schedule. 3-4 parks, some driving, lots of riding of stuff, lots of feeling exhausted when its all said and done. While we didn’t go all out the day prior, this was going to be a day involving some appreciable “work”. Fun, yes. But effort was to be expended.
For the second straight day, we arrived at IOA early for Harry Potter time. This time though, we left even earlier, getting to the gates around 7:45AM and then into the section before 8AM and entering the line for the wand shop. I happen to think its a pretty cool little show that goes on there even if its just selling crap no one needs, but perhaps peopleneed a reminder. Amusement parks are really grotesquely constructed monstrosities intended to entertain at the most base level and then use that entertainment to push you in the direction of buying crap you don’t need at a huge markup. Sometimes its easy to forget that, I know.
