Hi everyone! My son is turning 11 this year and we're taking him to Hogwarts after he gets his acceptance letter in October. My question concerns the best way to navigate the parks, especially with the shortened hours.
As a Harry Potter purist, I'd want him to go to Diagon Alley then take train to Hogwarts...but is this the best way to go?
My concern with that plan is we can only do Hogwarts Express once a day--so how would we easily get back to Universal from IOA? Would it even be worth it?
We could do Hogsmead first then take train over--but that just seems...backwards to me?
We have early park entrance and will be in both parks for 2 whole days. Did anyone else do anything similar? I just want to make this as magical as I can for my son! Thanks for any insights/advice!
