Another tip is you can have your wand fixed/replaced at any Ollivanders location for free. No receipt needed, I bought a wand for $30 on eBay and had it replaced for free on my next visit to the wizarding world. Huge savings!
I found a quiet time and took my kid in 3 times in a row with 15 min waits. We would get so excited as he was the only kid(6) in the small group and thought he would get a chance And in the last minute before going in here comes some kid in full Harry Potter outfit and poof they get picked. I was so miffed it was 3/3 for them coming in last minute. If they had been in the line the whole time I would have walked out as you have no chance against a costume I hoped the actor would recognize us but sadly got a different one each time
Update to package pickup: it's no longer available to day guests. Citywalk doesn't have package pickup available anymore. If you're staying at a resort you can still ship merchandise there.
Your video is Awesome quality! Curious what kind of camera you shot this with? Trying to decide which camera to bring to the parks. I’m not a ride person, so I’ll be having fun capturing photos and videos.
@@TheParkProdigy I know , I still gave your video a like. You did a good job on that video. I can’t remember where to mail my letter from lol but it was a good video. Thank you
I find the comment of people saying getting there early to Hagrid's doesn't work as odd. I was there a full week, last week of September so although September is a lower month in terms of crowds the crowds were still decent and I went on Hagrids first thing and rarely waited more than 20 minutes. Granted, three of those days were interrupted by the hurricane but even on Saturday and Sunday I didn't have to wait long. I have to agree with you in disagreeing with them, if you do early park admission go to Hagrid's first. I always did Hagrids first, Velocicoaster second, Velocicoaster third.
Great video thanks for giving the tips that really helps. We are visiting Orlando this March and really would like to know if this is in the Studios park or Adventure Island.
@Faith Ayana. It will be hot. I went a week and a half ago, it was hot. Bring sunblock and water. Be prepared to wait in long lines, if you do not have express pass.
Hi I am wondering if you could help me out a little. Me and my son are visiting Orlando from the UK in 2 weeks time and wondering because we are staying at CABANNA BAY resort. Are we allowed to use the water taxi from Saphire falls Hotel even though we are not staying there. Thanks for the great info on the vlogs really useful information.
Will you guys still be offering early entry for free if I purchase from your site this year? I see on the site that it says early admission for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Does that mean we'd only be allowed to stay in that area or can we venture to other areas of the park? Thanks!
Great video I love the detail that you share about Diagon alley, and hogsmeade! You have to update your stock video, it looks like you’re still stuck in the middle of the pandemic - I can’t bear watching people wear masks anymore!🤣
I’m going in February! I can only do one park and I’m debating between islands of adventures and ofc this one, I’m going mainly for Harry world so I don’t know which one to pick since I really want to see the castle and go on hagrids ride but I faint so I can’t do many rides which is why the shops I’m diagon alley would be better but idk! What do u think

Great tip thanks so much for sharing!!
To give everyone hope, I was 22 and chosen at olivanders. I was also wearing a bday pin at the time which helped!
That's awesome!
I'm 33 :(

Well I'm not sure what the author meant by the age range. You have to be 11 to get invited to Hogwart's, not 7-10.
Update to package pickup: it's no longer available to day guests. Citywalk doesn't have package pickup available anymore. If you're staying at a resort you can still ship merchandise there.
Great point!

Hi Donna, so this video was shot on a Sony Vz-1F camera! Hope you have an amazing time!
We're going in November, just before Thanksgiving, and we're so excited! We're coming from Canada and I've never been to a big theme park like this
Have an amazing trip!!
I heard you say in this video, I will get a my Disney photo card….. does Disney know they are doing this for universal?
I misspoke, I meant to say Universal Photo Card : )

Yes, you have to be one of the first in line!
Great video thanks for giving the tips that really helps.
We are visiting Orlando this March and really would like to know if this is in the Studios park or Adventure Island.
Hogsmeade is in Islands of Adventure and Diagon Alley is in Universal Studios!
@@TheParkProdigy Thank you really appreciate it 🙏
going april 22nd-28th how is the weather towards the end of apri is it alot of rain or heatl? planing on spending most time @ Universal / volcano bay
You shouldn't get much rain. It will start to warm up in Florida at the end of April
@Faith Ayana. It will be hot. I went a week and a half ago, it was hot. Bring sunblock and water. Be prepared to wait in long lines, if you do not have express pass.

Yes, you can!
@@TheParkProdigy Thanks
You talk about photos but say "received a my disney photo card" is this right? Or was this an error 🤔 thanks
It was an error!
Imo, universal is the best theme park in the world. I’ve been to Disney and universal Orlando has been beyond incredible.
Thats great, we love it too!

Yes we do! Only certain rides / areas are open for early entry. In Islands of Adventure that is Hogsmeade and the VelociCoaster
@@TheParkProdigy thanks!
Great tips for visiting Wizarding world
Thank you!

snowflake
I’m going in 3 weeks! I can’t wait 🧙🏾♂️
Have a great time!
Why is raven claw a eagle instead of a raven?
Not sure!
It's originally an eagle in the books!
@@Kdawn1995 oh didn’t know that
It’s called Ravenclaw because of the founder Rowena Ravenclaw. Nothing to do with the actual bird.
Great video, lots of good suggestions. Do you know when the Hogwarts Castle night time light show will return in 2024?
They have not announced an opening date at this point in time
I wonder during the Olvander live show, and they would give you a free wand if you’ve been chosen to say the spells
Guests will have to pay for the wand even if they are chosen
Are the parks disabled friendly?
Yes, absolutely! I recommend to stop by guest relations once you arrive to speak with a team member.
I’m going in February! I can only do one park and I’m debating between islands of adventures and ofc this one, I’m going mainly for Harry world so I don’t know which one to pick since I really want to see the castle and go on hagrids ride but I faint so I can’t do many rides which is why the shops I’m diagon alley would be better but idk! What do u think
If you want to experience more of the rides then Islands of Adventure but Diagon alley is more immersive in our opinion!
Islands of adventure is way better
I’m huge Harry Potter fan
So are we!
Harry Potter is our Boy, and Hagrid is our Man!
yesss!
Are you excited about Universal Epic Universe, the third Theme Park Fate coming soon to Universal Orlando Resort? I am very excited about it!
is it worth to buy 2 days ticket? park to park
Yes! that is a perfect amount of time for Universal
My Disney photo card lol 😂 05:15
Obsessed with your thumbnail 😍 great video thanks for sharing
Thank you!
