Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Hogsmeade \\ Floridians Guide to Orlando

  The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter is normally what brings everyone to Universal Studios Orlando. But did you realize it is divided into both parks? Some tourist know this but a lot of them do not and I would like to do a little information on the Hogsmeade side in Islands of Adventure.   WWOHP's original side is Hogsmeade, which means the first side that opened up a few years ago. This side is the one with Hogwarts castle and has more rides on this side as well. Let's go over the top things to do and the best ways to them.   Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is the big attraction which is located inside the castle. The best time to ride it is either first thing in the morning or towards park closing hours. If you were not interested in riding the attraction but wanted to see everything inside the castle you can ask a Hogwarts student for a castle tour. The castle tour gives you an alternative line so you can experience all the fun of the qu...

Review: Spider-Man Homecoming // Geek Up Your Life

    I just saw the new Spider-Man Homecoming movie and I want to more reflect than review the movie because I will start out by saying I LOVED IT! I think it's the best Spider-Man thus far. It captured the humor and teenage side of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. There is going to be SPOILERS in this reflection/review so if you haven't seen the movie please DO NOT READ.   The opening is score is great since it is the original Spider-Man theme song but with an Orchestra. The opening video diary of Peter Parker going to the airport battle in Berlin during the Civil War movie was such an amazing way to start the excitement he was for being a super hero. What else is amazing is they do not start with his origin story and it jumps straight into the present day story. Since by now everyone knows what has happened to him. They do add a moment in the movie where he is telling his best friend he got bit by a spider and that is how he got his powers. In case there is someone ou...

Christmas in July movie day!

It may be Independence Day and the start of summer but I am ready for fall and winter to get here already. Now everyone has probably heard of the saying Christmas in July and here are some movies I would watch for a movie marathon in July to cool down from that summer heat. Netflix Picks: 1. How The Grinch Stole Christmas! It's a christmas classic (to me at least) and is always funny no matter what time of the year you watch it. This is still on Netflix at the time and this would be how I start my Christmas in July movie marathon. This is one of my favorite Christmas movies. My top movie is Elf (DUH). 2. Christmas with the Kranks This is another funny movie to watch and it will always be funny. I would recommend starting with comedies first during the day and lead into the other options later. But this is just my opinion on how I would start the movie day. 3. White Christmas This is the perfect transition movie in my opinion for the Netflix movie part...
