Me in front of the Universal Studios globe!

The entrance to the Harry Potter ride goes through Hogwarts Castle, and in this room Harry, Ron, and Hermione show up to talk to you! Unfortunately, this room is where we heard the ride broke down for a bit, so Harry, Ron, and Hermione did a lot of talki

Elsewhere in that room, the chalkboard talks a lot about dementors. Hmm...

Later in the castle, the fat lady showed up! She wishes she could come along...

After Harry Potter, we went to the Simpsons side of the park. Here I am outside of Duff Gardens, next to Tipsy and Surly!

Me next to the capsule from Apollo 13! (the movie, anyway)

This meet-and-greet with a Transformer was baffling. He was moving around deftly but also talking in a way that it was clear the speech was live. Is there someone in that suit? Or is it remote-controlled? We may never know...

Me under a dinosaur at the Jurassic Park ride.

We ate lunch at Cletus's Chicken Shack, and David found Spider-Pig! The TV in the background is playing all sorts of restaurant-related Simpsons clips.

This is part of the set that looks like New York City, or many other cities. The bricks look surprisingly real! But it's all foam, I think.

The set of a plane crash in War of the Worlds. Apparently that's a real 747 that they bought and then destroyed!

David in front of Hogwarts Castle!

Back outside, students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons made an appearance.

I don't mean to brag, but...

David met Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, who were very big fans of his shirt!
