THEME PARKS:
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS FLORIDA
First things first, YES this is different from Universal Studios Orlando. Universal Studios Orlando is the entire place, much like Walt Disney World is the entire place, while Universal Studios Florida is the first theme park, just as the Magic Kingdom is the first theme park at Walt Disney World. Now that we’ve cleared THAT up, let’s talk about what you can do!
- The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley
- Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts – Enter beneath a massive fire-breathing dragon and journey deep underground on this multi-dimensional thrill ride. As you navigate perilous subterranean vaults, you’ll encounter Harry, Ron, and Hermione. But you’ll have to evade the wrath of villains Voldemort, Bellatrix, trolls, and other creatures that stand between you and a safe return to Diagon Alley.
- Hogwarts Express: Kings Cross Station – As you travel from London into the British countryside, you never know who—or what—you might see out the window.
