Tips To Know:


-Arrive to the Park Early: Get there early. Like, before it opens early. Once the park opens, walk directly to the Harry Potter area without stopping for anything else, do not look at your mobiles because if you want to experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter without crowds and long lanes, you must arrive before everyone else does.


-Try The Butter Bear: Do not forget to drink the butter bear, its a non-alcoholic drink, which comes in both cold and frozen varieties.


-Bring a Small Backpack: You can bring backpacks and snacks into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but you can’t bring bags with you on most of the rides. If needed just keep a small backpack because the lockers for keeping bags are fairly small and the lines to use the lockers can be crowded. 


-Call Ministry Of Magic:There's a magic phone booth outside the train station. The red phone box  is outside of King's Cross Station, but few tourists will actually try to use the phone. If you dial MAGIC (62442), you'll be patched through to the Ministry of Magic.


-How to Avoid Long Lines: Long lines and crowded areas may occur for the Dragon Challenge coasters, popular rides where guests can use the Universal Express Pass skip to the front of the line.


-Where to Buy a Wand: Ollivanders is a beautiful little shop. This is a well-done vignette, but wait times can be lengthy. If your time is limited, ask yourself whether this is a must to do.
You can also buy wands from carts outside Hogwarts Castle and in Diagon Alley or you can buy them online too.


-Get dessert at Florean Fortescue’s Ice-Cream Parlour: Try a scoop of ice cream.


-Exchange Money at Bank: At Gringotts bank, you can exchange money i.e 2$ for 2$ , its fun and you do not have to pay extra cost. You can use bank coins to buy food and other stuff.


-Weather: Mostly the weather is hot at Orlando.


-Best Time to Visit: The best time to visit the place is Autumn especially in October, when thrills are added to tour because of Halloween Events and Entertainments.
