As a fan of the books and movies I was beyond excited to visit the park and I too cried when I first walked into Hogsmeade! The Forbidden Journey was the best ride we rode on our trip and unlike anything I'd ever experienced before; unfortunately it made me very very nauseous but it was well worth it :) Butterbeer is soooo good! I prefer it frozen and wish I could drink it again right now. We spent some time relaxing and sipping on Butterbeer at the Hog's Head pub! It was wondeful!!! I also loved the attention to detail. For example, a little boy asked if he could purchase Voldemort's wand and the salesperson looked immediately horrified and said "we do not speak his name", the boy then asked "do you have any of 'he who must not be named's' wands?" and the salesperson cheerfully replied "why yes we do". I strongly suggest that people visit the Wizarding World later in the day, which is what we did. We were warned that earlier in the day there are thousands of people trying to get into that part of the park but later on there are "only" hundreds which is still alot but...It was still crowded when we arrived after dinner and we never did make it into Olivander's but our wait for the Forbidden Journey was only about an hour and a half and once you're inside Hogwarts, you won't care because it is absolutely amazing!!! The moving paintings were my favorite! I could not get over how real they looked! I can't say enough about how amazing the Wizardnig World truly is and I would go back today if I could! It is a must see for Harry Potter fans!!! :) My husband and I were in Orlando at the end of June and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was everything I’d hoped it would be and more!

Now, whether or not my kids will actually let me go on my own is another thing...
