We are taking my son, who just turned 8, to HP celebration weekend this coming Jan. (lucky impulse decision when the packages went on sale and I was nervous about no SWW this year). I then panicked about whether he would be able to do much, because he has a growth hormone issue that means he is closer in size to a 6 year old, and is also somewhat easily frightened. After much online reading and discussions with friends, I feel comfortable that while he cannot ride any of the big roller coasters and one HP ride because of his height, we will have plenty to fill our two and a half days - and even decided to bring along my 3 year old even though I always believed there was not enough for the littles to do, I now think there is plenty for her since she and grandma only do about half days in the parks anyway.
I do have a question for those Universal vets - we are staying at the Hard Rock, but want to come to HS for either Sat or Sun night to see the Season of the Force FWs. Suggestions on the best transportation options between parks?
