The grand opening of the WIzarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley is exactly one week away! Are you planning a trip to Orlando but finding yourself wondering what the Florida weather is like in the summer or looking for tips on how to get the most out of your visit? Here are just a few of a native Floridian’s tips for surviving a summer visit to Universal Orlando!
The creative team at Universal Studios recently revealed some interesting new details on the technology used at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Some exciting new technology has been put to use to make the Diagon Alley expansion even more amazing and magical than its Hogsmeade Village counterpart!
We’ve been posting our own Diagon Alley reports all week, but it looks like there’s even more to look forward to for fans itching to get a look inside Diagon Alley! NBC will be airing a special about the creation of the expansion next week, including a behind-the-scenes look at design and construction of the park!
Over the last year I’ve eaten a few times at the Hog’s Head in Hogsmeade. The food is good yet traditional, and I would say that holds true for the fare at the Leaky Cauldron. I love that Universal is providing visitors with two mostly completely different menus, new drinks, new desserts, the works. It makes both restaurants an absolute MUST for visitors. Just save room for the Butterbeer soft serve.

This last week, MuggleNet was down in Orlando, Florida, at Universal Orlando Resort for a VIP/media preview of the all-new Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley expansion. No doubt you’ve seen the trailers, the photos, the interviews, and the endless pictures of people standing on benches trying to get a glimpse – and all of that stuff is great. But what you can’t see is the absolute best part of the park – the inherent magic.
