OVERVIEW: WHERE TO STAY FOR HARRY POTTER

Those simply aiming for a morning at Harry Potter could maintain their Walt Disney World lodging plans…

However, families either

• wishing to guarantee access to Harry Potter’s rides without long lines, or
• contemplating spending more time at Universal Orlando

should consider adding a night at Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort or its new Cabana Bay Beach Resort. Doing so gives you special early entry privileges to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, plus–if at the Royal Pacific–“front of the line” privileges for the rest of Universal Orlando.
