Know When to Skip The Hogwarts Express


  • It’s not unusual to see a 60-100 min wait when busy. Save precious park time & walk around if the wait is over 40
  • Walking around to either side of the park through CityWalk is about a 15-20 min walk. 
    • Yes, a pain in the ass, but waiting that long for a 5 min train ride isn't using your time wisely.

  • Yall know I love getting in line with less than 5 minutes to spare.

  • You’ll also miss the mad rush of people leaving Universal for the night.

Know Your Way Around Universal Orlando Prior to Your Trip
