Amazing Orlando Florida
I can't pick out a favourite, it was all so good! 12 of us went as a family (my wife and I kids (in their 40s and Thier kids) Booked through Ocean Florida (originally before the first COVID lock down) finally got there!. I would recommend staying in a villa or similar not a hotel, that way you get the facilities of a full kitchen loads of space probably a private pool etc. We hired a 12seat mini bus plus a car which worked well but hardly used the car. Still it was nice to have the flexibility. For many of our group it was their first time to Florida! It was amazing to see their faces! We had 14 day park hopper tickets for all 3 main attractions, it cost a fortune but we did everything! The whole family will remember this for a very long time! They are already asking when we can go again!

Never enough time or money so much fun to be had
So much to do and it takes robbing gringots to pay for all the stuff to buy. Honeydukes is a must their fudge is so good. If you plan on spending much there is one thing the cashiers don't tell you if you keep your receipts not counting food or drinks just merchandise if you spend 300.00 you get to pick a free wand they are limited to what they have though but free is free and since you earned it anyway may as well get it. The leaky cauldrons food is OK but it's more about the restaurant itself. The same goes for the three broomsticks. Try to get there early for rides to avoid some of the crowd. For those who collect Christmas ornaments you will be in love they have all kinds of Harry Potter ornaments as well as Universal Studios ones and from every other place throughout the park example duff beer or lard lad donuts.women and girls who like charm bracelets they just came out with about 30 new Harry Potter charms and for the men and boys quidditch gear galore. All that shopping and rides make you thirsty so be sure to grab a butter beer I prefer the ones on ice to the hot or frozen but those can get costly so I always get a refillable cup it's like 14.00 and then drinks are free all day every 20 min. You can refill and bring it back the next time you go and it's just like 7 or 8 to recharge it to get more refills it has a built in computer chip that's how they know if it's useable or not. Make time to see the shows they are so good try to get close so you can record for your friends who didn't get to go to see what they missed out on. Don't forget the dragon record it from different sides. I can't go on the escape from gringots ride do to health reasons but my 23 and 24 year old sons had a blast they said the line was long so make sure you go to the bathroom before you get in line. They also said to take your glasses off if not on tight because they almost lost theirs it goes so fast. Have your packages sent to the package pickup at the front or to your hotel if you have that option so you don't have to carry around that load all day it's free of charge. Lastly if you use a website called undercover tourist your tickets will be alot cheaper they even run specials adult tickets for child cost or buy 3 days get 2 free and the Hotel you need to check out is the Blue Tree resort it's only 7 miles from Universal Studios with free shuttle. I scored a executive 2 bedroom suite for 1218.77 for 11 day stay Dec 11 to Dec22 check out their listing on booking. Com you will be glad you did. Now go have fun grab some candy at honeydukes a cold drink and then relax in the hot tub or go for a swim or perhaps a round of mini golf when you return to the hotel. Safe travels
