Visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park

Have a Magical Experience After Watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

A lot of people will agree that Harry Potter may just be one of the greatest book saga of all time. We loved it when the first book came out when we were young, and we still love it after a decade and the first part of the last installment is coming out in a few days.

But don't worry that there isn't going to be another Harry Potter movie coming out in the following years (except for the part 2 of Harry Potter and the Deathy Hallows). You could relive your favorite moments in Harry Potter and visit different places as if you're part of the wizarding world! Get to have a hot or cold Butterbeer while strolling along Diagon Alley and visiting different shops.

Want to have a more extreme Harry Potter adventure? There are roller coasters! Find out if you are brave enough to take on the Dragon Challenge, Flight of the Hippogriff, or the ultimate Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey!

Watch the video below so you could have a better idea about what's in it for you at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios Orlando.

Top 5 Money Saving Tips During Travel and Vacation


While it's fun to get away from it all and have a vacation, actually having one is becoming more and more expensive already with all the crazy hikes in expenses. But by following these tested and proven money-saving tips, you will be surprised at how much you could save on your next vacation.

1.Take Advantage of Coupons – these coupons may pertain to discount theme park tickets to restaurant coupons from inside the theme park. If you can spare a few minutes every day, spend those minutes just looking for coupons. You are bound to find some because there are really good sources out there on the internet today.

2.Rent a Car – renting a car may seem like a luxury for a lot of people, but it's actually a big money-saver, especially if you are planning on moving a lot and you don't want to bring your car with you. Sometimes an airport shuttle may also be more expensive. And with renting a car, sometimes you could also use coupons so you could save even more with your expenses.

3.Bring your own food – a lot of food joints inside theme parks and near tourist spots serve the usual food but at unusually high prices. If you want to avoid paying for a hotdog twice its usual price, you could save a lot by packing in your own lunch or even just snacks. You will be surprised at how much you could save by eating your own sandwiches for lunch or breakfast.

4.Make your own reservations – it's true that getting the vacation package is more convenient for you. But there might be times when it will turn out to be more expensive. If you want to avoid spending too much and if you still have an ample time to prepare for you vacation, you should make your own reservations to hotels and get your own tickets.

5.Give your kids a set budget to spend – a vacation without a pocket money is hardly a vacation at all. But with all the expenses from the reservations that you make, sometimes you srimp too much on your pocket money just to fit everything in your budget. If you want to avoid disappointing your kids that they won't get to buy the souvenirs that they like, and disappointing yourself that you are going over budget just to give what your kids want—give them a set amount to spend during the entire vacation. And if you've followed the previous tips, you could give your kids a little extra and you still won't go over the budget.

Having a vacation these days has become more expensive, but that doesn't mean that you can't do anything about it. If you follow these money-saving tips, then you could still have as much fun during your vacation without spending extra!
