We were told, however, that the price was likely to increase once the park actually opened, that they were just trying prices to see what sold well during the soft opening. But that could be just a sales pitch that we fell for. ;) Have fun on your trip. You have to let me know how it is! Hayley, we payed $65 for the marauder’s Map.

Thanks for putting such a detailed summary - i cant wait to go!

I wish I had a glass of it right now, actually. I'm glad your little one enjoyed it. I certainly had a good time there and writing it up. :D Butterbeer was fantastic.

I read it out loud to my little one, and you answered almost all of his questions. The best part was when he asked what butterbeer tasted like, and the next sentence gave a very descriptive explanation of just that. :) The pictures were awesome, too. Thanks for sharing!

While I have no doubt that a full afternoon/evening, maybe even day at Islands of Adventure could be spent in Hogsmeade thanks to how well-done it is (we did 3+ hours and had things leftover), in the end the Wizarding World is still only 1/5 of a full themepark.

Sometimes, I love themepark MMOs. I love WoW for what it does well, and I look forward to TOR because I think that the themeparkness it's destined to have will be great for the Star Wars nerd inside me. But I sure do love me a sandbox game where just "being" in the world gives me that feeling of immersion. I agree. Sometimes, I love themepark MMOs.

We altered our plans just to be able to go, even though we were already inside Disney's Animal Kingdom whenever we made the choice. Thankfully we did because it's a superb experience. Even my glowing review can't speak its praises as highly as it deserves. That’s the way we felt.

Before we were able to get in, we actually hated that we knew it was opening and had heard about #potterwatch. We thought it was a curse rather than a blessing knowing how awesomely things were going there. I was the same way.

Good work, you sold me on it. I haven't been to Florida in a long time but it may be time to plan another trip there just for this theme park. Now I want to go. Good work, you sold me on it.
