Diagon Alley Restaurants and Shops Have ‘Soft Opened’
Posted by Megs

The Universal blog has announced that Diagon Alley has partially “soft opened” for the general public. This means that for limited hours, visitors can enjoy the shops and restaurants of Diagon Alley but NOT the Escape from Gringotts ride.

We are now inviting guests to experience the atmosphere, shops, food and entertainment that Diagon Alley has to offer. Dine in the Leaky Cauldron. Grab your favorite Hogwarts house apparel at Quality Quidditch Supplies. And get that first taste of Butterbeer ice cream.

It brings us all one step closer to the Grand Opening on July 8, when guests will get to ride Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts and enjoy all of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley.

If you plan to visit before the July 8 Grand Opening, please understand that the hours are limited, and access to shops and food venues may vary—not everything may be open all the time.

Hogwarts Express Open at Universal For Limited Hours
Posted by Megs

It has been all over Twitter today that the Hogwarts Express has opened for business over at Universal Orlando in Florida. And the Official Blog has announced the details of the opening. You must have a park to park ticket and CANNOT enter Diagon Alley. Book your vacation to visit Diagon Alley now!

Around 3pm today, we opened King’s Cross Station, Hogsmeade Station and everyone’s favorite scarlet steam engine to guests with Park-to-Park admission. The Hogwarts Express will be open, in limited hours, between now and the grand opening of Diagon Alley on July 8.

Just to make sure there’s no confusion, Diagon Alley itself is still not open. But starting today, there will be windows when the Hogwarts Express, along with King’s Cross Station and Hogsmeade Station, will be open for you to enjoy.

Hop on in Hogsmeade in Universal’s Islands of Adventure and step off in King’s Cross Station. Or jump on the train in London and disembark for a day in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade. It’s all yours with Park-to-Park admission.
