Hi everyone! My name is Ashley and this August will be my first trip to Universal Studios in Orlando ! I've been to Universal Studios Hollywood a couple of times growing up but not since they have added Harry Potter to the park!
As you can tell I'm a Potterhead and I am very excited finally see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in person. My travel champion, my brother, let call him M., on the other hand is not. However, being the best brother I could ask for, he tolerated watching the movies with me growing up and he even tried to read the books . He didn’t get to far in the series (book wise) though but hey, that is okay!
This is our plan for this trip:
Day 1: Travel day!! Our plane lands in Orlando around 5 pm and we have booked Tony Hinds as our transportation to and from the airport on both travel days. We are staying Cabana Bay Beach for this trip! Thinking of going to dinner at the Cowfish or Fusion Bistro Sushi.
Day 2: Spend the majority of the day at Universal and IoA for non HP rides/activities.
Day 3: Spend the day at parks for all HP rides/activities. I am going to try and go on every HP rides and attractions but the Dragon Challenge. I am not a big roller coaster fan (especially the one where my feet dangle in the air) but I’ll see how brave I get with that one when we get to the park.
Day 4: Day to relax, maybe go to Disney Springs, maybe go to Morimoto Asia for dinner
Day 5: Go back the parks to go on any rides again or that we may have missed. Maybe go to Volcano Bay in the morning. I haven’t heard such great reviews, but it just opened and I want to give it a try. I will see how we feel that morning.
Day 6: Homeward bound
I do plan to head back to the resort mid afternoon everyday to relax at the pool to get out of the heat.
I hope to spend a lot of time in Harry Potter World on this trip but we will see how things go each day. I am going to try and update my planning each week with what is on our top of rides, activities, and restaurants that we want to do on this trip. Any suggestion will be helpful too!
Also for those who have stayed at Cabana Bay Beach, any room request suggestion, I would greatly appreciate the recommendation!
Stay tune!
