5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

If you have a day pass as well as halloween night stay in park at 5pm anc you get to houses first.

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveller

People wishing to get on new hagrids ride need to do VIP passes as the wait is over three hours long or they delay ride

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Don’ t buy the cheap tickets at the mall nearby, they will force you to visit a resort for 3 hours and aggressively try to sell you a condo, just buy your tickets online

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Use hotel transport, parking is a rip off, currently $25 for regular. If your planning a full 7 days there it will cost you $175. That's a rip off.

5/5 - Excellent
