A Honeyduke's Moon

Trying to come up with a cute Harry Potter name for our honeymoon, I've thought of "Harrymoon" but that just doesn't sound right.......hmmm. Or "honeydukesmoon" because of the store in Harry Potter and we will be going there, but I just don't know. Any of you Harry Potter lovers want to help me out here?!?!?

By the way, why is it called a honeymoon anyways? I've been trying to think of why it's call that and everything I've thought of is wildly inappropriate or impossible. Hmm anyways....

Our trip's agenda
Saturday July 17th- Get off at work at 7:00am, drive home and pick up Justin and Kaedo. Then Justin will drive us down to Lincoln, while I hopefully sleep a little. Drop Kaedo off at the Kennel, poor baby but he should have a blast the Kennel is located outside of Lincoln on a ranch. After we say goodbye to him we might stop by my parent's house to say goodbye to them and just to see them because I miss them. Then we will head to Omaha to get on an airplane! Our plane departs at 4:30pm and flies to Memphis, TN. We will have a short layover in Memphis, I think maybe an hour at the most. So just enough time to get off the plane find our next terminal and gate then relax for a few minutes before boarding our plane to Orlando,FL. We will arrive in Orlando at 10:50pm eastern time, long day of traveling, but I got such a great deal to fly out of Omaha hopefully the money we'll save will be worth it. Once we land we will have to hurry down to the parking lot because I found a bus that will take us to our hotel for only $4, but it stops running at 11:30pm. It will be about a 45min bus ride so we won't get to our hotel till late, almost midnight. I don't know if it will be that long because of the stops it has to make or what, and maybe it won't have to make those stops because it will be so late. I don't know but for $4 we can at least try it, haha. Then when we get to our hotel we will check in and reserve our shuttle time for the next morning, there is a shuttle that will take us to and from the park. Then it's off to bed, goodnight.
Sunday July 18th- Wake up around 7am, Happy Birthday Justin, get ready, take the shuttle to Universals Islands of Adventure. With our vacation package we get into the park an hour early, which is perfect because it is recommended that we be in the park 45mins before our breakfast reservation. Speaking of, that is another thing we get in our vacation package breakfast at The 3 Broomsticks. For all of you Muggles it's like eating in Cinderella's castle at Disney. I'm so excited and we get to eat there on Justin's birthday, just makes it even better. I wonder if they will sing to him like at Chuck E Cheese? So after breakfast we are going to do some shopping in Hogsmeade, I know right?!? They have all of the shops from the books/movies, plus the wand shop (which is actually located in Diagon alley but hey they couldn't make everything exactly how it is in the books). So we will probably be coming back with wands, wizarding robes, candy and Justin thinks he is getting a broom, but we'll see. After that we will start riding some rides! First since we will be in the Harry Potter part of the park we will ride those rides first. From what I can tell there are 3 rides, 2 roller coasters and "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey". Which it is hard to find details on this ride because this section of the park just opened up 6-18-10. But from what I can tell is you get to walk through Hogwarts, and then you fly over it? I don't know but I can't wait to find out! After we are done playing wizards there is tons of other things for us to do there. They have other sections similar to the Harry Potter one such as; The Marvel Superhero, Jurassic Park, Greece Gods and Dr. Seuss(kiddy land). It's like they made the park for us, well except for the Dr Seuss part. I'm pretty excited about the Marvel section as well, not only are all of my favorite super heroes from Marvel but most of the big rides are there. And and the heroes walk around so you can meet and take pictures with them!!! Too bad Harry won't be there... I guess Iron Man will have to do. So after our day of fun we will go back to the hotel and maybe swim or something, there are like 3 swimming pools we could swim in a different one everyday.
Monday July 19th- We get to sleep in today, kinda, Justin doesn't consider getting up at 9am "sleeping in". After we get up, dressed and have eaten we head off to Universal Studios Florida. With our vacation package we got passes to 1 park a day for 3 days, so off to park #2. I'm pretty sure that Justin and his family have been to this park before, which will be nice so he can tell me which things are good and which ones aren't worth our time. This park is equally exciting and full of fun things to do, but it is set up a little differently. Instead of themed sections of the park it's all things movie, probably movies produced by Universal studios if I had to make a guess ;)
I've been to Universal Studios California and the rides and shows look pretty similar so I'm hoping that it just looks like that and in all reality the parks are completely different. But some of the rides/ shows are: Men in Black Alien Attack (a ride where you shoot aliens), Hollywood Rip Rockit roller coaster, Revenge of the Mummy coaster, Twister ride, Shrek in 4D, Simpson's ride and a really cool looking kiddy land. Some of the rides that were at the other park are; the studio tour, shark attack, disasters, ET ride and T2 in 3D. Which aren't bad rides but I'm just not as excited to go on them and who knows they could be different. Then for dinner time we might eat in the park or we have passes (again with the package) to go to the City Walk, it's a thing between the two parks with restaurants and stuff. Because inside the park the food is so expensive and I know at Cedar Point the restaurants (that are still affiliated with CP) are way cheaper outside of the park. But I also read that Universal Studios allows you to bring your own food in, like if you want to picnic or something. And I looked and there is a Wal-mart near our hotel, we could ride the $4 bus there. So we might do that too. Then after we are done playing we will ride back to the hotel.
Tuesday July 20th- We have lots of options for this day. We could either go to Universals Island of Adventures, Universal Studios or I found a shuttle to the beach, which is only 3omins away. As of now we are thinking of going to Universals Island of Adventures for the better part of the day, then around 5 or 6 head to the beach,swim for a while, have dinner and watch the sunset on the beach. But that might change, who knows it's nice to have options.
Wednesday July 21st- Wake up around 8am, pack up :(, check out :'(, and take the bus to the mall ( I guess I can be happy about shopping). We thought since there is a mall right by our hotel we might as well go shopping for awhile. We probably won't even buy anything it's just fun to go into stores that we don't have here in Nebraska. Like a Coach store, where the medium sized purse cost more than our plane tickets, combined. We can "shop" until 10:30am or so, but then we have to get back on our bus and go to the airport. Our plane leaves at 1:50pm and we have another short layover in Minneapolis, MN. Don't know if you can even call it a layover because it's only 50 mins long, and they start boarding planes 20-30mins before take off. Hopefully the Minneapolis airport isn't big otherwise it might be a race to the plane, but that's OK I like running in airports it makes me feel like I'm in Home Alone or a business man. Anyways we land in Omaha at 6:30pm and then I have a birthday surprise for Justin in Omaha at 8pm. But you'll just have to wait to find out what it is since he can read this. Then after the surprise we will go back to Lincoln and spend the night.
Thursday July 22nd- We probably will sleep in, for real this time, because we will be so tired and I have to work tonight and drive back to Valentine. So whenever we wake up we will go pick up Kaedo and drive back to Valentine where we will be welcomed back by George and the rest of the family. Because, I know, life is just so hard and boring with out us. Haha I'm just kidding but I bet our jobs will be glad to have us back.
So that's about it, I want to make a slide show (because I like to do that kind of stuff) so y'all can enjoy our trip as well, well at least enjoy the pictures of it.
