Has anyone gone to the new theme park in Orlando yet "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter"? My 17 year old niece wants to go and we are thinking it might be a good graduation present for her. (My 6 year old wants to go as well).

Thanks in advance for any tips on this!

What can I do next?

My 17 yr old daughter went with a group of friends. She said it is awesome, and done very well. The rides are a blast, the inside is made to look exactly like the movie, and it is now her FAV place in all of the parks. (She is a real theme park junkie) She is planning to go back very soon, and hasn't stopped talking about it yet. My only advice is if you are planning to go on a weekend or a vacation time, pay the extra to get the Speed pass things, or the lines can be quite long. She went on a weekday, and they had lines that were about 45 min to an hour. (not bad for the rides and attractions there since it is fairly new) I have heard from other friends that they have waited in lines for over 2 hours. If you are staying overnight, and you stay at an onsite hotel, your room key is actually used as one of those passes to skip the lines. We did that once and didn't have to wait at all. We walked right through all the lines and got right on all the rides that we went on. It was great. Have fun!

One of my friends just got back and he loved it! I cant wait to be able to go. One of the girls from church is going in July for Leaky Con if that's something your niece would be into. http://www.leakycon.com/

It's also going on in Orlando so she could do both.

Everyone that I know that has been says it's outstanding and extremely well done. But the lines are long and it can be quite a wait since everyone is so hyped up about seeing it. I can imagine summertime would be a nightmare to try to get in.

Two of my friends have gone and they both LOVED IT! They're both adults, but are both Harry Potter nerds like me. ;-) I suspect everyone in the family will enjoy it, but I agree with the other folks here... get the speed pass. It makes life easier.

My sister went (she is in her 20's). She said it was smaller than she thought it would be. But, she still loved it.
