Diagon Alley Opens at Universal Studios Florida

July 9, 2014 by Julie @RunWalkRepeat


Dumbledore Diagon alley

The streets of London at Kings Cross Station were jam-packed yesterday with the official opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida.

Photos from Universal Studios just ooze with happiness and wonder at the crowds reactions.  Thanks to Relive the Adventure for sharing them with me.  Way to put the “theme” in theme park Universal, the detail and construction just looks AMAZING.

Sure to be a HUGE hit with Potter fans, take Dumbledore’s advice and pack your patience this summer as wait times yesterday were posted at over 300 minutes!  Talk about some die-hard fans, wow.

I really want to go ride the Hogwarts Express and immerse myself into the world of Harry Potter.  I might have to head over to Universal to stretch out the legs the day after the Marathon in January.  It would be fun to turn my race weekend down the road into two trips and there are a few options for transportation between the parks – yep I covered that here

If you want to be among the first to see this new attraction, my travel agent Jenn Greene with Destinations in Florida who is offering a Potter Package including meals and Universal Resort Accommodations – book by July 31 2014. Hey get in the parks early and Deluxe resort guests get to utilize Universal Express – the fast lines!  Contact Jenn for a quote on your vacation – whether adding on to an existing trip to another park in Orlando or just visiting Universal, she has you covered!

My friend Dallas has a trip planned at the end of this month, and will report back to me how it looks.  You can follow his coverage of all the Orlando Parks on Twitter @RLTheAdventure.

How does Diagon Alley look to you? What is the longest you would wait to ride?
