Methods to Have Enjoyable at Common’s Islands of Journey…
In my final put up about our journey to Common Orlando Resort I shared with you the superior day we had at Common’s Volcano Bay.
For the subsequent two days, we moved between Islands of Journey and Common Studios and had the time of my life.
We had the three day multipark move so we may transfer between the 2 parks simply.
I extremely suggest having that move. It’s going to make your day so significantly better, particularly for expertise The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
MY LATEST VIDEOSIslands of Journey is one among two theme parks at Common Orlando Resort and is understood for it’s thrill rides. It has seven individually themed islands, every with its personal sights, eating places and outlets.
All of the rides and sights are primarily based after books, Marvel comics, or mythology.
Islands of Journey was epic.
Not solely did this park have the primary Harry Potter part, nevertheless it additionally had one of many BEST rides ever, The Unimaginable Hulk.
Personally, Islands of Journey is my favorite theme park at Common Orlando Resort.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
The unimaginable Wizarding World of Harry Potter is split into two sections: Diagon Alley is in Common Studios, whereas Hogsmeade and Hogwarts (my favorite part), is in Islands of Journey.
Should you don’t need to do the lengthy stroll from park to park, you’ll be able to experience the superior Hogwarts Specific between the 2.
Why would you not need to take this magical prepare journey every time?
It actually seems like you might be on this planet of Harry Potter.
Pay shut consideration to the home windows, as there are 3D movies proven on the journey.
What’s so cool is the movies are totally different relying on what route you might be touring.
For instance: when you go away Hogsmeade station, Hagrid is waving goodbye. Should you go away Kings Cross, it appears to be like like you might be touring from London to Hogwarts.
The Hogwarts Fort is AMAZING (I used to be actually crying once I walked in lol).
We had one-hour early entry passes as a result of we had been staying at Cabana Bay Orlando Resort, so Hogswarts Fort was the very first thing we skilled within the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Sadly it wasn’t the entire Hogwarts Fort as a result of it could take up the whole park lol.
The Harry Potter overture was enjoying, there was pretend snow on the roof, and the citadel rising up on the hill within the background.
All of the outlets from the e book are there like Honeydukes, Zonko’s, and a lot extra. Common places a lot element into the wizarding world so it seems like you might be within the books.
I felt like I used to be in my dream world.
Mum was crying as effectively. (that was from mum as a result of she all the time pretends to be me when modifying my posts and actually adjustments every thing. Btw she wasn’t crying. – kalyra)
I all the time thought it was foolish when individuals cried at Disneyworld, however now I perceive.
I used to be overcome by the pure magic of Harry Potter and what J.Ok. Rowling was capable of create. It was so joyful – Caz.
The place to Style Butterbeer
Okay, when you go to Harry Potter world, I DEFINITELY suggest Butterbeer. ( sure dad and mom, it’s alcohol-free) OMG, it’s scrumptious!!
I’ll always remember how excited Harry, Ron and Hermionie had been within the e book to strive butterbeer and the way their first style was the perfect factor that they had ever tasted.
That’s how we felt after our first style.
It’s like nothing you’ve ever tasted earlier than and it’s extremely scrumptious. How they recreated that actual response from the e book in actual life is unimaginable.
Butterbeer is sort of a creamy, butterscotch and creaming soda deal with. The marshmallow frothy high is divine.
Listed here are the choices in your butterbeer:
- Chilly ButterBeer (regular) the place you may get it in Diagon Alley: Leaky Couldren, The Hopping Pot. In Hogsmeade: Three Broomsticks, Hogs Head Pub, and avenue carts.
- Frozen Butterbeer (like a slushie) You will get this merchandise on the similar locations. (Mum’s favourite).
- Scorching Butterbeer (my fav) In Hogsmeade: Hogs Head Pub
- Butterbeer ice-cream (yum) In Diagon Alley: Leaky Couldren. In Hogsmeade: Three Broomsticks
- Potted Cream – Similar locations because the Butterbeer Ice-cream
- Butterbeer Fudge – In Diagon Alley: Sugarplum’s Sweetshop Hogsmeade: Honeydukes.
Sadly, we missed the fudge and potted cream- we didn’t learn about them!
Once more, all of this stuff are non-alcoholic.

The Rides at Hogsmeade, Islands of Journey
There are two rides on the Hogsmeade part of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
1. The Flight of the Hipogriff
Flight of the Hipogriff is a good curler coaster for the youthful youngsters. Though it’s slightly wild for a newbie experience. Savannah cherished this experience as a result of she is a fan of Buckbeak in Harry Potter.
I like to recommend this curler coaster experience for youthful youngsters.
2. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
Harry Potter and the Forbidden journey is one among my favorite rides ever, and among the best rides at Islands of Journey.
This can be a movement illness experience and simulator so when you don’t like these kinda rides then I like to recommend not attempting this experience.
Nevertheless, when you ARE effective with these form of rides, then I DEFINITELY suggest this experience.
It’s wonderful since you go round contained in the Hogwarts Fort by totally different rooms and even within the forbidden forest and on the Quidditch pitch the place you’ll be able to play Quidditch with Harry and Ron.
Once you first get on the journey, you’ll be able to hear music and when you look as much as a mirror, you’ll be able to see Hermione speaking to you.
The one half I don’t like on this experience is the dragon half as a result of the dragon blows sizzling air on you.
One of the best half in my view is the Quidditch part and when the whomping willow is attempting to assault you, and also you sway to the facet and it seems like you might be about to go the other way up since you additionally sway backwards.
And in case your considering, no it’s not like regular simulator rides when your in a giant movie show. You truly sit in a automobile (each matches Four individuals) going by the citadel!
Additionally, the queue is implausible. I might the experience once more simply to undergo the queue once more. Because you’re within the Fort, the queue goes by rooms of the citadel and it’s completely wonderful.
Among the rooms are:
- Defence towards the Darkish Arts classroom (the perfect one as a result of Harry, Ron and Hermione discuss to you)
- Gryffindor widespread room, a hallway with image’s speaking and transferring, and plenty of extra.
The Forbidden Journey is simply implausible and I extremely suggest it.
The Hogsmeade Expertise
My expertise at Hogsmeade was unimaginable.
My dad was by no means actually into Harry Potter however after we got here right here it impressed him to learn the books.
Should you come to Common Studios or Islands of journey, it’s important to test the out The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

The experience goes for what feels about 5 minutes, and actually – on the finish of it you simply is likely to be as inexperienced because the Hulk lol.
It has 7 inversions and I like curler coasters that go the other way up! I feel it is likely one of the finest curler coasters in Florida.

Spider-Man is one other simulator and movement illness experience once you sit in a automobile. One of the best half is when all of the villains assault you and also you bump up and down and stuff lol.
