In any war, there are calms between storms. There will be days when we lose faith. Days when our allies turn against us…but the day will never come that we forsake this planet and its people.

Gringotts Bank Notes


Enter, stranger, but take heed

Of what awaits the sin of greed,

For those who take, but do not earn,

Must pay most dearly in their turn,

So if you seek beneath our floors

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned, beware

Of finding more than treasure there.

.

Thankfully , you can get your very own Gringotts bank notes by exchanging your muggle money in increments of 10$ or 20$ at the Gringotts Bank @unistudios . You can use the bank notes throughout the parks or keep them as souvenirs .

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know , The motto of Gringotts Wizarding Bank was Fortius Quo Fidelius, a Latin phrase that meant “Strength through loyalty”?

Gringotts Bank


“Never mess with goblins, Harry. Gringotts is the safest place in the world fer anything yeh want ter keep safe — ‘cept maybe Hogwarts.”

                                             💰RUBEUS HAGRID

If you want to visit a Gringotts Bank then you will have to head to @unistudios .

Then head over to Diagon Alley . 

.

When you walk in you are greeted by a Gringotts Goblin. You have the opportunity to buy some fun Gringotts money or to exchange your muggle money for Gringotts money to use throughout Universal. You can even buy a Niffler to help protect your coins.


The Universal Creative teams did an amazing job at bringing the bank to life. There are so many fun details throughout. 


A bit of fan history about Gringotts, It was the only wizarding bank in Great Britain.It was founded in 1474 by a goblin named Gringott.

Did you know that Gringotts Goblins are the ones who cast coins, armor and other metal objects?

Toothsome Chocolate Emporium


The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen @universalcitywalk is such a fun experience. There are so many fun details and a bit of steampunk whimsy adds to the charm.


So many options of treats that everyone is bound to find a fav. One of my favorites was the assortment of macarons they offered. Definitely a place to spend some time taking it all in.

Schilter Family Farm


We took a day off from school to enjoy a new pumpkin patch , Schilter Family Farm 🎃
.
It was so much fun! It is a beautiful location and well laid out. We were able to do the corn maze , which was Top Gun themed and the maze was cut into jets .. so cool! I really appreciated that they had a Q code of the maze so you could find your way out of there within a reasonable time . There are some mazes that I feel like we are in forever so this was a great option.
.
We also enjoyed riding the tractor . It dropped us right in front of the pumpkin patch and we were able to pick a pumpkin.


.
Another fun treat we enjoyed were some Apple cider doughnuts and a cup of yummy apple cider. Delicious! It was the perfect treat to end our time at the pumpkin patch .
