My favorite attraction for kids at Universal is Animal Actors on Stage, because there are a variety of animals included, and the show is always a little bit different no matter how many times you see it!
-
That show is indeed a super headliner for families visiting. And yes, it is always a litter different.

We are looking forward to all the HP experiences!

So happy you seem to be visiting soon. I am a huge Harry Potter fan myself.

I am looking forward to planning my first trip to Universal and Disney! As an avid Harry Potter fan, I am thrilled to experience all of the sights, tastes, and rides at Hogwarts! I am most excited for the train ride on the Hogwarts Express and sending out postcards by Owl Mail 🙂
-
You will have a lot of fun. Make sure to ride the train in both directions!

It would have to be the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! It really is so magical and a great experience!

Yes, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is pretty amazing.

The Unofficial Guide is incredibly helpful when planning a trip to a theme park. My wife & I always purchase one when planning a Universal or Disney trip. The best attraction for kids imo is the High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride. It’s fun, but not intense, you can see a lot of the parks, & you get to hear a Dr. Seuss story dictated.
-
Thank you so much for planning your Disney and Universal visits with our books. Happy Holidays!

Hello,
I ordered your book from one of the main bookstores in England (Waterstones). I have no doubt that it is a really informative book but I am sadly still waiting for it to be dispatched…. It has been exactly 3 weeks today…..
-
Waterstone has our books. However, we do not have oversight about their distribution to their individual stores. I hope your ordered book arrives quickly. Thank you for buying our book.
