The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

[tj229er]

Ooo looking at the Inside The Magic report on the HP merch at the airport, looks like we'll have to have a look on our way through!!
Just thinking, to get to the UO shop at the airport, will we have to go upstairs to departures (obviously we're coming into arrivals)? Can't remember the layout. Are ths shops near the entrance?

When you come out from the terminals you are next to the security check point and at the same place as all the shops. Just stay on the same level and the stores are there. Baggage claim is downstairs one level.

Here is a map of the airport shops. http://www.orlandoairports.net/images/flash/shopping_landside.swf

I believe that has just been added in recent days.... cool thing is that it is hanging at exactly the same angle that it was hanging in OotP. Love the addition.

It's been there for at least a month?

Ah right thanks, is that before or after the monorail trip?

how much is the breakfast? does the butterbeer come in a set? or just buy it seperately?

the breakfast is part of the package and is like $15.95 per person. They probably bought the butterbeer seperate

If you are arriving at MCO it is after the monorail trip from the terminals. If you are flying out it is before the security gates and before the monorail to the terminals.

I want to see a better straight on pic of the menu. Since that will be an out of pocket expense and the prices for the regular lunch/dinner entree's are cut off.

The new story is more polished. Being attacked by Dementors in the middle of your quittich adventure.

Earlier concepts had you go into the forest with the spiders, then see Voldemort and the Dementors in a small scene, and the ending was just quiditch the whole way. SO glad they didn't do that. As you said, the Dementors interrupting the game is a fantastic, unexpected twist.

I am disappointed that the chess ROOM (atleast just the room) didnt make it into the scene.
If Chamber of secrets is in there, chess room should be there and the 3 headed dog. But nothing is ever perfect in this world. hehe

Wizard Chess was never on the books. That was a concept a different company came up with when they put in a scenic bid to get the project. They did not get the project, which is why their concept was not used. I think what's there is a lot more exciting. :thumbs:

That looks like Black Pudding in the corner?
Also, disappointed to see no Banoffee Pie on the menu!!

must be this is what i read were the breakfast offerings

There is an English breakfast (with black pudding, sausage, bacon and eggs)
an American breakfast with scrambled eggs & bacon & sausage and potatoe
an pancake breakfast with bacon and sausage
an oatmeal and a fruit breakfast.

I wish Snape would have made an appearance somewhere in the ride que. And even though I'm not a Diggory fan, they should have included his banners in DC.

Maybe Rita Skeeter helped design the banners :]

Thank you

Well, then... it has just been photographed in recent days then...

Has anyone spotted any kind of Journals or Diaries in the shops of Hogsmead yet? If so, do you remember the price? I know that's one thing I want that I don't have a price for yet.

Scarves as well. If anyone can get a price of a Ravenclaw scarf, I will be in your debt.

The journals if I remember correctly are $18.95. They have have a leather feel and a large metal plaque on the front. I think they had one for each house. There were also 2 other diaries/journals which were a little smaller, don't remember the price.

Wow, for some reason I was thinking it was a free breakfast for package holders...oops!

Has anyone tried the cauldron cakes or any of the other desserts?

 

[honeybee8200]

Thank you Nightmare! I wrote it down on my list of wants.

Ok, so as far as plushies go, I have seen Crookshanks, Hedwig Puppet, Scabbers, Fawkes, Buckbeak, Fluffy and some dragons. Are there any others that haven't been pictured that you guys have seen? Also, which dragon plushies are there? I saw a Hungarian Horntail and a Chinese Fireball. Was wondering if they had the Welsh Green and Swedish Short-Snout as well.

At Mugglenet, they posted a really great review a couple of months ago on the food. Here is the whole article
http://www.mugglenet.com/ericwwfoodreview.shtml

The bit about the cauldron cakes:
"Cauldron cakes, like chocolate cupcakes only molded like real cauldrons, are an example of the finesse in practice at the Wizarding World's kitchen. They're cauldrons with a handle overtop - I don't know how they bake it."

I also heard on a podcast somewhere that Cauldron Cakes are served warm and are like cupcakes filled with warm chocolate syrup.

Pygmy Puffs! I'm so getting one! They're adorable!

Oh my rowling! I just got back from WWOHP! It was AMAZING! I have so many pictures I need to upload. I went on FJ twice. First time everything was perfect. Second time I rode it the sound went out towards the end.

I'm a little disappointed with DC. I didn't actually ride it because I've been on it when it was DD too many times. But going through the the line, all they did was get rid of the skeletons. >.> There was no Harry Potter flair in it.

 

[honeybee8200]

Oh yeah. I forgot the Pygmy Puffs! Thanks for reminding me.

Spoiler alert, perhaps?
