Universal Orlando Is Scheduled to Be Open on Memorial Day 2010

Great news today hit the Dragon alley, and the spreading rumor has it that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will open sometime before Memorial Weekend of 2010.

Universal Studios Orlando has started offering vacation packages with tie-ins to its Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction, sources say that the Theme Park addition should be in operation by May 28.

What is in the package?

Some of the packages will include breakfast at the new Three Broomsticks restaurant within the Wizarding World, early park admission, Universal Express to byline select lines, a commemorative grand-opening ticket, tickets to Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios theme parks and accommodations. They are good for travel from May 28th through December 31st, 2010. Get your broomstick ready for the opening as it is getting closer.

Plan Your Summer Vacation

Universal is basically encouraging you guys to start planing your summer vacations. The message we got from them is: “Memorial Day weekend is just a ball park date to help visitors with vacation planning and by no means it is the opening date for The Wizarding World. Universal has announced that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will open in Spring 2010. Specific opening date information will come as soon as it is available.” So yeah as you guessed there is still no opening date set in stone yet

If you take this new info into consideration, Wizarding World could open before May 28, or there could be a soft opening or preview days before these ticket packagesare in effect“There has been worldwide anticipation for this one-of-a-kind entertainment experience, and we are thrilled to be offering families a way to experience the magic and excitement of Harry Potter’s world,” Alice Norsworthy, Universal’s executive vice president of marketing and sales, was quoted in a news release.

How much will it cost?

Package prices start at $285 per adult for four nights at a hotel near Universal. However, the most loaded offerings are for the resorts’ on-site hotels (Portofino Bay, Hard RockHotel and Royal Pacific) and start at $645 per adult. If you are asking us it is best to be as close to the park as you can, to start your day as early as possible. It is a given fact that Universal Orlando will get busy this summer.

A lot of exciting Attractions

Harry Potter theme Park, (included in regular admission to Islands of Adventure), features rides, eateries and magical retail stores based on the works of J.K. Rowling. The iconic Hogwarts Castle will house a dark ride, still wrapped in mystery, called “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey”. Hogsmeade Village will feature shops and stores, including Ollivanders wand store, where visitors will “choose” wands (or as Universal say, the wands will select the guests). Additionally the park will include two roller coasters the family oriented “Flight of the Hippogriff” and “The Dragon Challenge”.

And you’ll finally get a big swig of ice cold butterbeer.

Here is the overview of the offer:

* Early admission is one hour prior to regular Islands opening and valid for Forbidden Journey, the two coasters and … The Cat in the Hat. (“If technical problems arise or the opening of an attraction is delayed, another Universal’s Islands of Adventure attraction will open for Early Park Admission,” the small type says.)

* Some deals include a City Walk Party Pass good for 14 days.

* The privileges attaches to on-site hotel stay are good only for the number of guests staying in the room, of course.
