1 weekend + Harry Potter + Mickey Mouse = awesome

The Saltire Sirens (minus MacD who went to play golf somewhere fancy) hit Orlando for the weekend.  We missed the space launch which is a shame as Jojo would have liked to have hitched a ride on that rocket.  Still, we managed to make her forget that she didn't conquer her dream to be first Scottish woman in space.

Jojo had booked hotel, hire car and led the charge to our hotel.

Arrival - this was the silly face picture
Arrival - the sirens - Jojo, Sandrine (Sandy Pandy), Amina (Nibbles)


Our sweet ride and the Sirens arriving at Universal Islands of Adventure


Jojo on the way into Islands of Adventure

The Harry Potter ride was a 2.5hr wait to get on but soooooo worth it.  


Sandrine looking oh so stylish!
The conductor spoke with an english accent - we asked where he was from - he said: Hogsmeade of course!!








Butterbeer mug repurposed for Margaritas



Butterbeer mug repurposed for coffee to help us on the way to DISNEY WORLD

The sign lies - the shops are open until Midnight
The brilliant guy on the ticket desk, he gave us first timer badges and everything
