How Many Days at Universal?

​My first trip to Universal was only one day!  I thought I had seen it all!  Boy was I wrong!  I have lost count of the number of times I have been since then and each trip is a minimum of four days, usually a full week, and I still haven’t seen it all! 

If you are a Harry Potter fan, I say you need at least three days.  One day devoted to each Harry Potter world, Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, and one day devoted to the other areas of the two parks.  (With, of course the ride between the parks on the Hogwarts Express in each direction - because the ride is different in each direction!) This is a minimum!
​

If you are not a big Harry Potter fan, then a minimum of four days.  Because even if you are not a fan of Harry Potter, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is so immersive that you could easily spend much more time than you intended or even realize!  In reality, it does take at least two days to give each park justice!  And we aren’t even talking about the Water Park! 

We like to allow five park days.  Two days for each park and the last day for all the favorites and to explore some places that we haven't seen before!

And don't forget to add a day for City Walk!  Besides yummy places to eat, there are tons of shops to wander around in and get lost!

​My new favorite one is the Universal Legacy!  It has lots of movie props.  I'm not certain, but I believe it is things that used to be in Universal Studios Tribute store to the Classics! I loved that store in June.  I mean where else can you see Hagrid's Motorbike fabricated for GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION of Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure!
