I had asked earlier about our lunch buffet and I was told there was fries and pizza and loads of other food. &nbsp;I have to say that the guides version of loads of foods and mine are different.

I ended up taking a roll and putting some deli turkey on it in addition to my salad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/roadtrip.meenan.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_3966.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/roadtrip.meenan.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_3966.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a>&nbsp;We get to see where they were constructing Harry Potter.
