Oh wow, that's crazy! I can't imagine how chaotic it must get at places like that. It was my first time visiting Universal and essentially my first time at Disney (I went when I was 5) and even though we went after the holiday rush, the places were still pretty mad. I can barely imagine what the places must be like when the park is at capacity!

But yeah, that dueling dragons ride was definitely a wild coaster! I wasn't expecting that, since most of Universal's coasters were pretty mild! Definitely a fun one though, but the very convoluted passages to get to it were a bit of a pain. XD

I will sell you my soul for

Yeap! Singles is the way to go on regular rides the average family and groups tend to be 3+ so singles usually work for 2 people when the ride fits 4 in a row (if that makes sense) For example if we go my family has 6 people so for MIB we take a cart by ourselves but Spider-man and Mummy we would have 2 seats left over. If my family goes by themselves they are 4 so same thing.

Yeah you would be surprised how many people are actually angry and basically hate the parks when they are on vacation. It is sad.

The worst is the rainy days when the park is full. We have a max capacity inside the shops and when it rains people run and hide the issue is each shop has at least 30 people working at once so we had to assign people to the doors and basically close the door on people for them to wait to come in. I personally loved door duty lol but I was hated by a lot of people XD

I loved Wizarding World of Harry Potter when I went, even though my friend and I made the mistake of going on Black Friday.

I thought it would be -less- busy because everyone would be shopping or with family at home, but I was 100% wrong. xD

I bought sooo much stuff. The fact that you could pick it up at the front on your way out instead of having to carry everything was disastrous. I got the framed Marauder's Map, about four wands, the Sirius "Wanted Poster" frame, some Chocolate Frogs (I keep the packages on my bookcase because they're so pretty!), and a Ravenclaw flag. And probably some other stuff but yeah wow the shopping was amazingggg.

I'm not sure if the currency translation is correct, but Keliora is on the right track saying there is a rhyme scheme. ;) I'm giving them as gifts, but I might make some for myself since I have the file. I like that they double as picture frames.

That is awesome. It stinks that it was so crowded though. I wish I had bought more souvenirs. I just got a frog box and a Simpsons mug. If I ever go back, I am throwing down. Hah. I love the Burtie Botts Beans packaging. I'm sure the Marauder's Map is stunning too.

"I personally loved door duty lol but I was hated by a lot of people XD" Lol. I love you.

The exchange isn't the focus of this riddle, it's all in the rhyme. :D

Funnily enough there are pictures of me around while in door duty. I had no mercy though. I wouldn't let people in but I was the only employee that would get wet with them. I would wait outside to let people in. Which is why they hated me but at the same time respected that I was just doing my job for everyone's safety. Not to mention we needed room to squeegee water out the store lol

- Haha thank you very much! <3

- That is so awesome to hear you had a great time at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter... I'll be making my first trip there in a little over 11 months! It's still a ways away but I'm already so excited!! Plus in less than three weeks I'm attending the symphony in Nashville because they are screening Sorcerer's Stone and the symphony will be playing the music live!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday and don't forget to get your quests in! <3

Here's another riddle:

Riddle 5

At holiday feasts, I often appear. I bring a lot of cheer. But too much can make your vision unclear.

What am I?

Edit: Solved! _

I can see why that's necessary. It's nice that people can look at shops better without it being too crowded. It would be worth the wait.

Thank you! I'm so glad all the quests are "special" now. I've really needed to replenish points and wizard tokens. Are you doing some questing?

Yes! I would go with Butterbeer, although I'm not sure if it is alcoholic in the books. Maybe a little. xD

How did your finals go?

It seems to be so easy for people to get angry while in the park. It is just the nature of the beast. I still love it lol
