Hogwarts-always great!! I wish I could say it was less than great as the lines can get long. The lines (and masks) are the drawbacks to visiting Hogwarts during COVID>

Very disappointed in our experience. Train was not operating for the 4 days we were there. Lines were long and wait times were more than stated by signs posted at each. Food at Three Broomsticks was not worth the money paid.

This is our favorite part of the park. It is magical. The design of the park is realistic. The interactive spells are incredibly fun and we appreciate the workers who walk around helping people if they cannot get it to work!

Harry Potter books and movies come to life. If you are a super fan or not a fan at all this is a must see. Absolutely the best experience ever. I would recommend a park hopper so you don’t miss out on riding the Hogwarts Express on platform 9 3/4. I would also recommend going into Universal Studios first. Diagon Alley was less crowed then Hogsmead. Buy your wand at Ollivander’s on Diagon Alley.
Yes, the wand is worth the cost. There are about 15 “magic areas” in Diagon Alley and about 12 at Hogsmead. The magic areas are mapped out on the map given to you when you purchase your wand. Also the directions for the motion are on the map but also on the gold marked areas in the cement. Stand on the gold area and use small motions to get the magic to work.
Plan a whole day with the park hopper just to experience both of these areas. Both areas are huge and wait times could limit what you see. I would recommend the lightening pass so you can ride all the attractions.
FYI…My husband is not a Harry Potter fan but thought the whole experience was better than expected.

Our family loved The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Whether or not you ride all the rides, there is a magical feeling as you are transported to Harry Potter's world. The rides are fantastic - the only downside is that they are split between two parks so you need a pass to both to ride all of them. We did not get a chance to ride the Hogwarts Express - so that is still on the list for our next adventure. One big plus, that was not intended, was getting in the single rider for Hagrid's as soon as the single rider line opened (which was a couple hours after the park opened) and almost walked on, while the regular line was 50+ minute wait.

Hi there!
Thank you for your review. I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our attractions so much! Having a park-to-park ticket is a great way to see all that we have to offer in these areas. Our single rider queues are also a great option to take advantage of if you do not mind being separated from your party. On your next visit, I highly recommend trying some of the delicious treats and snacks here! We hope to see you again soon.

We were so excited about going to the Potter world, that was our main focus, but it was overly crowded and you couldn't move through the village very well, they needed more space. I would hate to be in that crowd if a disaster happens, because of the lack of room and places to exit out of there quickly. If anything you need to get to Hagrid's ride and Harry's escape early, they are worth the ride.

I am a huge HP fan, and Universal didn't disappoint. The Hogwarts castle is tall and imposing, but so cool! We didn't want to ride the roller coaster inside the castle, but we were allowed to walk through to see it all...such a fantastic thing - the artists are so talented. Gotta have a butterbeer as well.

What passes do I need to purchase to include both parks and express passes for 3 adults for 3 days?
Hi Jaden,
Thanks for the question! The ticket type you are looking to purchase would be a 2-Park 3-Day Park-to-Park ticket, this ticket type does not include Universal Express, however, as Universal Express is a separately ticketed product. We recommend checking out our website for more information.

Hello. I also went to the beautiful Park of Universal Studio in Orlando and it was a great experience. I was able to visit and do the attractions of the park which I found very nice. I was also in the world of Harry Potter with Hogwarts, which in my opinion is beautiful and very well done, and I bought myself the Harry Potter wand in the store Ollivanders, (the one at 60 dollars, the only one there was) and in the box there was only the wand and the card with spells written on it and I wanted to know if we can do something with the wand, if it can do something or it’s just to play with for fake. Anyway, I wanted to have a wand but just wanted to know. Thank you.
Hi Rose,
I'm delighted to hear that you had such a great time! Your purchase can be used at various interactive points within designated areas of the parks.
-Temara
What can you bring into the park? Can I have a purse with sunscreen and necessities? Can I ride on rides with the purse?
Hey Angie! Purses and backpacks are allowed in the park, but keep in mind they will be screened by security upon entry. Items such as sunscreen and other necessities can be carried with you throughout the park. Additionally, some attractions will require you to place your bag in a locker while you ride. These attractions will provide small lockers for free, or large lockers for $2.00 per attraction.
The following items are prohibited:
*Hard-sided coolers
*Soft-sided coolers larger than 8.5" wide x 6" high x 6" deep
*Coolers, suitcases, and bags with wheels
*Picnic lunches
*Food that requires heating or refrigeration
*Alcohol & glass containers
Hopefully this helps!

Hi!
Best restaurants nearby?
Hey Harris!
We offer two different restaurants in this area of the park. Otherwise, you can find other great options close by. At Universal Studios Florida, Richter's Burger Company will be nearby. At Islands of Adventure, Thunder Falls Terrace and Burger Digs are both great options just outside this area of the park!

¡Hola Francisca!
No hay manera de comprar boletos para visitar solo estas secciones del parque. Para ver esto en su totalidad, tendría que comprar un boleto de parque a parque de 1 día y 2 parques. ¡Esperamos que nos visite pronto!
