After our Wyoming trip, we drove back down to Salt Lake City, Utah. We went to a Johnson Christmas party, then flew to Florida. It was an overnight flight which was rough because when we landed, it was New Year's Eve. We rushed to rent a car, check into our hotel, and freshen up. We had big plans of going to Magic Kingdom since it is known for all of its festivities this time of year. Even though we were at the park by 9 AM, it had already reached full capacity! We saw cars lined up for miles and miles so we knew that we had no chance. The next place we decided to try is the Epcot Center. Luckily, we had no problem getting in there. Epcot is a blast because it has cool rides, plus different mini-countries with restaurants, monuments, and shops relevant to each country. They surround a little lake, which is beautiful. Once it came closer to midnight, there was an amazing light and firework show. There were also several dance parties, which was a blast. It was rainy and cold, but we got some trusty ponchos to keep us dry. The next day we went to Universal Studios, which was SO much fun! It was amazing to go to Harry Potter World and to go on some more intense rides.

Mini France! Erik was making a mini Eiffel Tower haha. Someday, we will see the real thing!

The magical show. The picture does NOT do it justice.

Excited for our Universal experience
Waiting in line for the Despicable Me ride.
I have to include this picture because it is probably my favorite of the whole trip. This was the SCARIEST ride of my life. I thought I was going to die.
A close up for your enjoyment. Gets me every time.
The entrance for the Transformers ride, it was pretty cool.
