My son wanted to visit Harry Potter WW in Orlando for his HS graduation present. We were fortunate to connect with an agent at Universal Family Vacations who suggested the 5 night package. We were even luckier in that the new Diagon Alley section opened on the 8th stampede to wait over 4 hours on line for a glitch ride was very amusing.
The limo, hotel, breakfasts went off without incident and the hotel was very nice. The Universal Studios vacation package met expectations and our agent very patiently responded to my questions. She was excellent!
