First-timer tips for WWoHP

Many of you helped me plan my mother-son trip to Universal earlier this month. It ended up being a dream come true for my 8 year old Potter head I wrote this post on my blog to help others planning their first visit:

Your tips will help others

They were definitely trickier than I had expected. Thankfully my son stuck with it and got better at doing them, I was starting to get scared he was going to have a meltdown in the middle of Diagon Alley

Hasn't he seen the movies? Harry couldn't do them right at first either.

Some great tips there, thanks! I didn't know about the hidden spells. That'll be great for a return trip.

I can't help but invoke my past as a copy editor to note that in the section about Flight of the Hippogriff, you say it's across from 'Flight of Passage.' Pretty sure you meant 'Forbidden Journey' there.

OMG! Thanks for pointing that out! Can you tell my brain works in Disney mode?! Whoops!

Hi nice blog article. Glad you had a great trip and that the boards here helped you. This is a great place for people to come with questions. It's amazing as many times as I go I always learn something new.

You didn't get a chance to experience it but the hot butte beer is amazing!! It should be there in a couple of months. We love all the butter beer but the frozen is our favorite!

Thanks for sharing!
