Gringotts Bank Notes

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures


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”?

Review, Universal

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.”

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?

Welcome October

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures


Hello October 🍁

.

It’s been a bit since I have posted . Life and everything inbetween has happened the last few months and I needed to  just focus on God and my Family.

.

One of the things I have learned over the last few months, is it’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok to show I don’t have it together . There were moments of meeting with a friend , that my heart was so heavy I couldn’t help but have tears in my eyes. I’m thankful,so thankful, for those friends who stopped to pray and didn’t push for answers . Sometimes,just sitting with a friend in their mess is exactly what they need. 

.

Another thing I learned was that I can only do so much. As much as I would love to be Wonder Woman and have eight arms to do everything ,I am not. Ofcourse , trying to reconcile that with my type A attitude was the hardest.To do what I can do to the fullest each day and let everything else fall away meant there where times the list didn’t get done. The dishes were left in the sink , we had cereal for dinner or the project got put on hold. It was uncomfortable but guess what it was OK. 

.

It did help me appreciate each new morning . New day , new opportunities. Appreciate the power of prayer and friends that have walked with my family . 

.

No matter where you find yourself on this October day .. I pray that you will be able to live today to the fullest, let go of what needs to be let go of and  connect with a friend. Life is so much better when we share it with others 🍁
