    Harry Potter- Wizarding World FAQ

    Nothing on an official opening date. Back in the first part of March I was told 86 days the crew has to be done, which puts it first part of June. Then I was told they are having issues with the ride systems, and they are looking at as late as August. They will not open the train if the entire...

    List of things to watch before heading to US

    Let's get ages here before we started listing films. I don't think Blues Brothers, Terminator and some of the other films are appropriate for most kids under 12...but that me(for the record my kids have seen both). Harry Potter you want to focus on Azkaban, and Goblet of Fire mostly...as...

    What are the best bars at CityWalk?

    35 and for my money it's Pat O's on a Friday or Saturday night after 10...last time we were there the players broke in to Cee Lo's "Forget you"....only it was the non radio friendly version. The whole bar was screaming "EFF YOU!" at the top of their lungs. The piano player stopped when he saw...

    Gringotts speculation

    Potter is scheduled to be open by June of 2014, from what I've heard from insiders. They are working around the clock, and the majority of the work on the coaster is done. The coaster, from leaked plans, will have a drop just like Verbolten...vertical...but faster. It will also have a waterfall...

    Cinematic Spectacular

    Usually, yes, the show is at park closing. If the park closes at 10, it's going to happen right at 19. What date exactly are you going? There are some dates that it will not be showing....i think for Mardi Gras

    Spring break

    Also recommend checking the Express Purchase calendar https://www.universalorlando.com/Ticket-Store/PurchaseTickets.aspx?ExpressPlus If you want to know how busy things are anticipated on being, check the prices. It's not foolproof but it does help. The more the ticket costs on that day...

    How many days would you spend?

    New Simpsons places should be (in theory) open by then too, and Harry Potter expansion should be announced and have lots of new things there to see.

    Here We Are!

    So many good times to go. Late September, early October you can get Halloween Horror Nights. Early December you get Christmas, Early Feb. to early March you have Mardi Gras....all of these times with fairly low crowds. The parks have changed so much over the past 3 years alone. I recommend...

    A Year in the Life-Universal Exhibit at Orange County Regional History Center

    HHN website

    For those who are not annual passholders, and not wanting to pay for a whole day, confirmed...SCREAM EARLY PASS....allows you to get into the park at 3p.m. and wait in the Stay and Scream area once the park closes. That means you have two hours to hang in the park, and then wait in the stay and...

    First time HHN

    The event "starts" at 6:30 eventually. However, if you do as we've been saying in all the other threads, you'll get to the park much earlier and do Stay and Scream. They let you into the houses much earlier and you can get more of the houses done without a line. If you want to see everything...

    HHN Info

    We'll be rubbing elbows with Penn&Teller! Yes...I'm bragging. :goodvibes HoS is okay...just never changes, where HHN changes every year. Alone was okay in 2010 when I paid $25 bucks and got a t-shirt...now paying $50? Not me. Honestly, I find that if you do fright feast at Hos you can do most...
