Today I am off to explore Universal Studios Orlando and the Wizzarding World of Harry Potter! Alone... I will try to post some thoughts / tips / secrets / etc throughout the day
The first thing I will say is to get here early buy don't expect anything to do / eat etc :( My cabbie said to be here at 7 and I feel that this is way excessive... I am not staying at the universal hotels so I can't enter until 9AM... Even Starbucks is closed until 8 AM ?!?! Ok... Got my Starbucks... Feeling good now!

So about this getting in early business... It's prob a good idea if your coming anytime in 2010! Since I am alone I thought I would just try to slip in early with a group staying at a universal hotel...
They use biometrics at the gate... I was flat out denied... Apparently they fingerprint all guests staying at the hotel when you check in and re-check everyone at the park gates! When I was a kid they ripped paper tickets... WTF
2nd time worked... In 30 mins early!!!

I made a big mistake already :( so the fingerprints at the front gate have nothing to do with admission... I was rejected for being in the wrong line! The real Wizzarding World of Harry Potter line is inside the park... So I sat there for 35 mins while a huge line grew inside the park :( Now I wait... Three worlds away

70 mins wait at 9AM for the forbidden journey!


Single flyer line is 10 mins!!! Split up people it's worth it... Just ask someone where to go! Truly Amazing! Like iMax meets roller coaster...

In line for the Hungarian Horntail now... Ha ha... This is redick ;) Pretty amazing coaster! Olivanders wand shop wait is 45 min to 1 hour and there is only a 1-30 chance you get to do anything cause it's a group thing!
Butterbeer then Olivanders for 2hrs... Urgh


Yay for two hour lines!

Olivanders is creepy... Def not my favorite!
The Dragon coasters are epic... Prob my favortie thing at the park!
