I can’t wait to visit!!! But, since my youngest is only 9 months, we’re going to wait until he’s 3 to get to Disney/Universal so he can appreciate it a bit at least. Hopefully I’ll be able to enjoy the HP part myself!

I love the name of this website!! :) My family and I were able to get in for just a couple hours for two days and then go to the preview that about 300 people got to do the day before the official opening from noon to 3. It was awesome! Most of us were able to ride the castle ride two days before, then again the day before. It is so cool! I am almost 40 and I really enjoyed all of it. I didn't ride the Dragon coaster because that is too intense for me, but I did ride the smaller coaster next to it and the castle coaster. I got a little dizzy and queasy, but I really loved it! There is a humongous screen with beautiful pictures and scenery. It's so awesome how they can make it look and feel like you are in the movie. My son told me that you are in one room and they move your seat a bunch, then they move you to a different room, move your seat around again, then move you on to the next room, etc. That made me feel a lot better because the thought of going up and down and all around on the rails of the coaster really scares me, but knowing that I was basically just in one spot, I felt a lot safer, so I was able to enjoy it a lot more. I loved it!

It's a shame that Diagon Alley won't be a part of the new Harry Potter theme park, but on the upside, it seems that Wizard Wheezes has gone national, since apparently Zonko's will be carrying a number of their products. :-D

I can't wait- we're heading down at the end of May, and it looks like the park MIGHT be open by then!
