{photo diary} Celebration of Harry Potter: Part 1

Today's the day for my Celebration of Harry Potter photo diary! Another great trip in the books, even if it was super cold (for Florida) Let's start off with the potter stuff, I attended a special press conference on Friday evening, for my Harry Potter and Matthew Lewis sites, and also watched a few panels throughout the weekend.

Press Conference - Matthew Lewis, Warwick Davis, Jason Isaacs, Tom Felton

FOOD: Decided to do a whole section on food this time since I always take pictures of my food and never do anything with them (except Instagram a few.) Everything is on Universal property except the final items, which are Disney Springs.

Always a must - Chicken Waffle Sandwich from Cletus' Chicken Shack in Simpsons Land

Chips & Salsa and Chicken Tacos from Antojitos - this is one of my favorite restaurants in CityWalk (Universal's shopping and dining destination that sits between both parks)

Pulled Pork Sandwich from Hard Rock

Cornbread and Marghertia Flatbread from NBC Sports Grill. Cornbread is a must, flatbread is just okay. Try to sit at one of the game tables, we were at the Foosball table!

Hands down favorite dessert on Universal property (so far...) Flourless Chocolate Cake from Toothsome Chocolate Emporium

French Toast from Trattoria del Porto at the Portofino Bay hotel

One of my favorite treats from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Cornish Pasties from The Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade at Universal Islands of Adventure (they also serve them in Diagon Alley at the kiosk near the stage)

Breakfast from the Bayliner Diner at Cabana Bay hotel (yes, I like pepper)

Chocolate ice cream at Florean Fortescue's in Diagon Alley at Universal Studios (my friends recommend Earl Grey and Lavender, Clotted Cream and the soft serve Butterbeer, but I'm picky so I stick with chocolate)

Pepperoni Pizza and Roasted Garlic & Olive Oil bread from Portobello at Disney Springs (my friends and I weren't too fussed about this place, too overpriced for what it is)
