It’s never too early to start planning your next trip or vacation! If you’re already pondering where to go in 2017 you need to look no further than Universal Studios Orlando™ . There’s more to Universal than just Harry Potter. Let”s look at what’s new at Universal Orlando in 2017.

Harry Potter 2017

Of course, the biggest buzz right now at one of Central Florida’s most popular theme park destinations has got to be The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™, a fan favorite attraction which includes two park areas, Hogsmeade™ and Diagon Alley™, as well as boarding the Hogwarts™ Express to travel between the two.

Serious Harry Potter fans will want to plan to attend A Celebration of Harry Potter™ scheduled to take place from January 27-29. This is new at Universal Orlando in 2017. The event gives fans a more in-depth experience including access to special panels and demonstrations as well as film talent Q&A sessions.

As you can imagine though, there’s far more going on at Universal than Harry Potter flying thru the air …
