The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Guide

-


​Theme Parks are a really good spot for fans, they are really great at adding areas that people will really love. The Harry Potter franchise has donned 7 books and 8 movies in addition to a Fantastic Beasts trilogy. Of course the popular franchise would recieve a land in a theme park! But not only that, it has 2 lands in one theme park and 1 in another. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter first opened in Universal Orlando - Islands of Adventure with a themed area known as Hogsmeade. Then a few years later in Universal Studios Florida Park opened Diagon Alley. Then we got another Hogsmeade area in Universal Studios Hollywood Park! Read on to learn all about the themed land!



Hagrid’s Motorbike Adventure is the newest ride in the themed area inspired by everyone’s favorite Hogwarts teacher, Hagrid. He takes you on a journey as a part of a Care of Magical Creatures lesson, which of course leads to some trouble. You can only ride this in Universal Orlando!





Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is a dark ride through the castle while simulating flying on a broomstick with Harry, Ron and Hermoine! Look out for Dementors! It can be found in Hogsmeade!









The Three Broomsticks is one of the dining locations in the themed land! It can be found in Hogsmeade and has quite a fun menu! It serves Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner! The meals are of course famous British dishes to keep in theme with the land! You can find Butterbeer here as well as carts outside. There is also a full bar named the HogsHead located inside!








The Hogwarts Express can be found in Universal Orlando as a method of transportation between Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade! It is a perfect looking replica inside each cabin with cool screens to keep you immersed in your magical adventure! 






Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts is a 4D thrilling ride inspired by the scene from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. Be warned you will encounter he who shall not be named. You can find this attraction in Diagon Alley!









Florean Fortescue’s is an ice cream parlor in Diagon Alley! Featured in the books as well, Florean even gives Harry Potter free ice cream! You can find lots of interesting flavors here and of course butterbeer flavored ice cream as well. 









The Knight Bus was first seen in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban! You can now see it outside Diagon Alley in London! You can’t miss this big purple bus. It’s near Kings Cross Station as well!








Well there are so many things I can discuss about this land, I’ll definitely need to add more later! Don’t forget I am a travel agent who can book your next vacation! Fill out the form here for a free Universal Orlando Quote!

My Top 5 Dining in Magic Kingdom

  Hey everyone! It's the final post for the WDW top 5 series! I have been to Magic Kingdom several times and I have made it a point to try a lot of food options available here. This list will be based on my favorites that I have eaten at so keep in mind there are a lot of places to eat here and I have not eaten at all of them! I also will be focusing on places with savory foods not just ice cream or snack stops like Aloha Isle! 1. Liberty Tree Tavern. Literally the best table service in my opinion. Its like thanksgiving food with delicious Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake for dessert! 2. Sleepy Hollow. 2 words: Waffle Sandwiches! They have a chicken one and a sweet one with fruit and Nutella and they are good! 3. Casey's Corner. Basic American food here is ok but I always stop for the corn dog nuggets! 4. The Friar's Nook. 3 words: Mac and Cheese! They have so many different options for it here too like with tater tots, bacon, etc.  5. Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe. A good stop f...

  Hey everyone! It's time for another blog post finally, sorry for taking a few days off, I wasn't feeling well. I am headed to Disneyland very soon so it's time to wrap up the series for top 5 in DisneyWorld so I can move on to all the posts for Disneyland! I decided to save Magic Kingdom for last because honestly it is my least favorite park. I know it's crazy but it just doesn't have enough good stuff for me. Please note I have not ridden Tron yet as I have not been since 2021. 1. Space Mountain. This will forever be in my top 5 no matter what. It's been a favorite of mine since I was 6 and that will never change. I just love the feeling of not knowing where I'm going next. 2. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. This may be a newer ride but it's still great. Its not too much of a kiddy ride but definitely more kid friendly! 3. Carousel of Progress. This ride is so nostalgic and I absolutely cannot miss it. I love hearing the song every time! 4. A Pirates Adventu...

  Hey everyone! In the middle of our trip we took a bit of a break day, but not really lol. I spent the morning after having breakfast at our resort exploring the one right across from ours: Art of Animation. Yeah that's right we were staying at Pop Century. Art of Animation is quite a cute resort too with the theming being after Disney movies: The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Cars, and Finding Nemo. I mainly saw the little mermaid and cars areas because this is quite a big resort! After checking it out I headed back to the room, grabbed my stuff and went to Disney Springs! Once arriving in Disney Springs, we took a quick picture with the christmas tree and went to sprinkles. I got the sprinkles sundae which is my favorite thing to get. Its ice cream stuffed between a cupcake and I chose red velvet for both options. It's absolutely phenomenal! Then we went to World of Disney I shopped for quite a while and used the mobile check out, I decided to explore Disney Springs until I...
