Hellooooo! It’s been a really long time since I last blogged and I’m determined to finish up our Japan 2018 travelogue before we head off for our next trip!
We spent the second leg of our trip in Osaka, and no trip to Osaka is complete without visiting Universal Studios Japan! Well, I guess it only applies if you like visiting theme parks!
We started our day bright and early, so the kids were chirpy and also thrilled to be able to interact with the various mascots in USJ!
We got our admission tickets via Voyagin, which was easy and hassle-free. All we had to do was just scan the QR codes and we could walk through the gantry! Prices are also very competitive, and Voyagin is verified by over 50000 positive reviews.
Look at those cute Minion popcorn buckets!
The hubs and I also purchased fast passes to enjoy rides such as Hollywood Dream, The Flying Dinosaur, Harry Potter & the Forbidden Journey, and JAWS. Without the passes, I doubt we could go for all of these rides! The waiting times for the normal queue are insane! At least one hour and could even go up to more than 3 hours!
We spent most of our time in Wonderland as this park of USJ is catered for young children. However, minimisschewy did not meet the minimum height requirement for most of the rides.
The minion buns looked cute but did not taste so good.
If you are a Harry Potter fan like us, you would be in awe upon stepping into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! I reckon it looks even more mesmerizing at night.
Our second (first was in London) time having Butterbeer! YUMS!
Let’s make a butterbeer moustache and say cheeeeese! Or should we say
Wingardium Leviosa?
Even the washroom is so cool! I swear I heard Moaning Myrtle but I couldn’t find her anywhere..
Sumptious dinner at The Three Broomsticks! And spot that butterbeer again!
What an unforgettable dinner at USJ, in the nice cool weather with Hogwarts Castle as the beautiful backdrop.
