Which tip did you find most helpful?
The Potter Collector to go early!
The early morning tip! Are there any restrictions on what type of backpack you can take into the park? ⚡✨
Definitely early park entry! Worth it for those empty pictures! I’ll have to get a hotel on site too.
"research! plan! prioritize!" tip, the universal app es great
Nope! :)
When is Universal and JK Rowling going to get serious and open a hotel themed on the dorms? That would be GREAT!
Purselmer aH
Omg I can't imagine that. i live in Indonesia and if that's thing were exists I'll probably go asap
@Kelly Buck Kelly Buck: I like everything you just said! I'm cheap as all get out, but I'd pay to stay in a hotel like this in a second! Can't believe it's not done already.
Kelly Buck that's too much of a big budget to spend for people who may not be able to afford it, people are there to go to universal so live at Hogwarts.
@@hermionehamilton2300 I go to Universal to pretend I live in Hogsmeade, lol.
step one: have more than a total of $4.21 in your bank account
banana phone
Oh shoot I have $4.20-
lol
Hello, random internet commentor. Whoever you are, I hope now, a year later, your finances are faring better. I too have been that low, and even lower. The pain of having no money in your account is an awful one, for sure.
My nephew was 3 when we were there and no way could we afford to pay $60 on a wand for him. Instead we found a stick and had him stand next to the people at the interactive windows. He assumed he was the one performing the magic! Parents with small children groaned when they realized they could have gotten away with the same thing! Oh and the train was awesome!
That was a smart idea! The wands are definitely on the expensive side.
Sure they did, did everybody start clapping too?
Omar Munoz *rolls eyes* Don’t bring that here, man.
You can often find wands hidden at the parks. Potter fans often make Harry Potter themed things and hide them in the park, and wipe post a tip about it on the public Facebook page. I found st least 3 wands this way
$60 is a bit ridiculous. I thought they would cost about $40-50. Also, buy the robes from the shops that are a block or two down the street from Universal. The prices are muuuuch lower.
Another note about the butterbeer: if you are an annual passholder you can get a discount on the butterbeer inside the Three Broomsticks or the Leaky Cauldron but not at the stands outside!
Very true.
I didn't know this thanks
Yeah... we had in Three Broomsticks... i wish my editing skill is just like him... my vlog of our tour there was funny... ha ha ha... though our experience was awesome... you can watch my vlog too... but this is way better... he he he they are expert!
I didn’t know it was so empty before it opens for regular hours. I will definitely try to get early admission. Great tips!
The time of year also matters but you want to avoid September because it's hurricane season. After Xmas and most of January are great times to avoid crowds BUT beware of South American/Brit tourists. There is no Harry Potter World in the UK or Ireland. I went last January and although the crowds were light the buses to the parks were packed with Brits, Scots and Irish. Then, later in the week, the South Americans POURED into the parks because mid to late January is considered spring break in their countries. The Brazilians came in such huge numbers that they needed two buses to bring in a single tour group! And very few of them were going to Disney World. A majority of them flocked to Universal when they arrived.
Is it just me, or does the early access make it seem more like a movie set than the actual Wizarding World?
Kelsey Valeska Absolutely!!!
Margaret Beaver I don’t recall several lines of people attempting to cast the same spell in the exact same spot in any of the movies. We got our daughter an interactive wand, and I was like... “no way!” I would have said “so much for being off peak” but then they closed.
Single rider line! I went on forbidden journey 13 times in 1 day using it. Exit thru the gift shop, cut thru the lockers and jump back on within minutes
My cousins and I do that for every theme park ... and sometimes they need 2 riders so you might end up sitting next to your companion .
Genius
You can also get early admission by staying at a Universal Partner hotel which are mostly budget hotels that are not on Universal property.
Yes I am staying at a comfort inn and got early admission
a g how did you find out if your hotel was a part of that?
Wow this is so good to know, thanks so much!!
I stayed at cabana bay and got in early
@@jillianfinley3354 A bit of clarification: Clarissa R was saying that there are a few non-Universal hotels that will allow early entry. Cabana Bay is owned by Universal so they automatically give all their guests early entry. So, what was your opinion of CB? I loved the 1950s feel and the decor although it's not going to appeal to everyone. I did get the refill mug and it was nice that the lazy river and pools were heated. It was FREEZING cold when I went. Sadly for kids who came to see Volcano Bay, it was closed due to the cold weather. Although it was a long walk to the entrance from my room, I would rate it an easy four stars (1 star - TERRIBLE, 5 stars - awesome, 4 great and would still recommend).
I want to go there soooooo bad...
I have researched the website and knew about the early admission! I think is my favourite tip that I will take, that way less people will see me cry when I actually enter diagon alley.. 😅
I balled like a baby and didnt even care lol. When you walk in its such and amazing unexplainable feeling.
Same
Relatable
I hope you make a video about the top 7(?) items you have to buy/get at the wizarding world! So we would know which ones is worth to buy on a budget!
Prime pass holder here: after being in line for Hagrids Motorbike for 30min, there was a "slight delay"...for an hour. So we got out of the ride after the park had already closed. Hogsmeade was EMPTY. Like no one. And since there was another maybe 30min of people in line the park employees dont make you leave just yet so you can get great nighttime photo ops in hogsmeade. Especially fun during winter solstice and it gets dark early
I can't imagine having the privilege to be able to go so often to this amazing place to have an 'usually' (3:33).
It is definitely something I don't take for granted. But annual passes help for sure... and cost the same as 3 days at the theme park.
I really want to visit this amazing place one day!
If I go there, I will stay there for a week)))
For children, this place is probably a fairy tale in reality!!!
I was so excited for my grad bash at universal and literally planned out my whole day and it got cancelled because of coronavirus :(
That must be so upsetting!
Me too man
Awe babe I’m so sorry :( I hope you’re safe
I just went- the downside is that you have to wear a mask ALL day. There are some places where you can take off your mask and rest. The plus side is virtual lines, and almost all the rides are walk ons.
me too. universal was supposed to be my graduation present 🥺
Omg, this is so helpful. I'm glad that you guys emphasize maximizing the use of the early admission because for someone who's never been there, we might not think about the crowds. I really liked the tip about identifying which wands are the interactive wands with the gold labels so that we can quickly pick that out and get on with the day. Oh, and also the tip about pre-buying tickets.
OMG! You are awesome! I’m a late potterhead planning my trip now and this was so helpful!
I'm visiting the WWOHP at Universal Orlando in July, and these tips are gonna be so helpful for me! I'm watching the videos on repeat! Thank you for being so informative. Love your videos and Keep Collecting :)
Love this! I’m so excited when I get to go next year! I really love your channel, very organized and has a lot of info!!!
Thank you so much for your tips and all your other posts, I used them this week and I had a great time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️😃😃😃👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Amazing video!!!! Great tips on how to avoid muggles!!! Thank you for posting this video!
The ticket purchase tip was excellent as well as the early access hour. Miss Wizarding World has fantastic photos on her page that she attributes to getting in early. Next time I get to go I definitely have to try and get in early if only for the photos! Also, what a kick to see vids Pre Covid!
I wish I could love this video. I absolutely adore the two of you! Megan is such a sweetheart! It was so nice getting to see you guys at the park! Can't wait until you guys are in town again! These are great tips! The one about the hogs head...I'm a little surprised that more people don't know about it! That's always where we get our butterbeer in Hogsmeade!
I’m going to be there next week and I’ve been binging these vids!! They have helped us make a list on what to buy and what to do!! Thanks
I wish you made this video 2 months ago. I live in Australia so when I went we didn’t know much about theme parks, but the wizarding world but it was the best place on earth. I wish you could’ve made this video sooner though. Keep up the great work. Love your vids.😁 Keep Collecting...
I’m so excited to see this!! My trip to Orlando is in july and I’m going to the wizarding world of Harry Potter as well😍♥️ this video helped me a lot 🙌🏻 I seriously can’t wait till I go there in july
Loved this video...I am really liking the idea of you meeting up with other Harry Potter CZcamsrs/Instagrammers and making videos with them together. Awesome stuff. Cheers
Thank you for sharing this with us all!!!
I'm going for my 16th birthday and your videos helped me so much to know what to get (early entry and staying on site) and just a tour of the park and tips! I am so excited to go thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the tips!!! Going there in a few weeks so I'll be sure to remember these!
That video was fantastic 😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍. Also thank you for all the tips they were all helpful.
Heading for the first time next week! Thanks for these great tips and great videos!
Hope you enjoy it! :D
Thanks for these awesome tips. Hope i can use one day
I always have my outfits set up and pack everything thats not charging. But my friends or family are usually the ones i have to wait for. Thanks for the tips!
this might just be one of my favourite videos of yours Peter, seeing Megan live in action at the wizarding world was super fun as well! can't wait for your next amazing video:)
Hey thanks Kayla! Yes, it was a blast collaborating with Megan on this one.
I never knew this channel existed and I am so pleased ❤️❤️❤️ wow just wow ‼️
OMG! MissWizardingWorld! She's my favorite Instagrammer and you're my favorite CZcamsr! This is sweet!
We're going next year for Disney's 50th but we're staying with Universal for the first time; so we'll get the early park access and I'm so excited.
I read this as "7 Tips to get out of the wizarding world of Harry potter"
Planning on going to Orlando this year and this helped me

Love your vids so much ❤️❤️
Very helpful as I plan my first visit!
Great video as usual. Nice to meet a new friend. Planning my trip for February.
Fantastic video as always! really helpful for when i go!
When two icons meet! Thank you for the tips! I’m addicted to in-world items straight out of the books. Thought I’d only have to contend with robes and Honeydukes, but Weasleys Wizard Wheezes is going to cripple me xD
You are welcome! And yes, Weasley's is pretty awesome...
thank u so much ill definitely be using these
I will likely never get to visit due to living in Australia and being scared to fly. But a school project required me to study a place is travel and what I would do and white a diary of my trip. Your videos have be soo helpful
One day , one day I'll be there s2. Great video man!
This video is just a great help! Can’t wait to plan my trip to the Wizarding World!
Almost to 100k! Congratulations!
So many good tips - simple planning of what rides and meals, also the app with wait times, cheaper online tix who knew!? - super helpful - crowded meal times - good job 🐉!!
Glad this was helpful!
Awesome video, we were here about a month ago and want to go back already! Diagon Alley is amazing!
Muggle plastic !!! I love when people use my go to time killer line! Haha “are we paying with muggle paper or plastic today?” See you next time peter!! 🤩
Ahaha what a good idea! How’s the weather down there? Probably getting pretty hot 😉 😂
I’m trying my very best to move down to Florida and get a job in Universal next year, looks like great fun!
Can't wait to visit, especially with these helpful tips😁
Love your videos, thanks so much for another great one!

Omg I have that same exact out of print shirt!
I have 4 beautiful days at wizarding world coming up in November 😍 My favorite/most helpful tip was prepurchasing the swag. I turned plain white tennis shoes into Slytherin/death eater themed shoes.
Thanks! Nice tips.
Great video thank you so much
Every time when I look at your videos you always make me smile
Great Tips and Thank you :)
Loved filming around Harry Potter world, there are so many things you miss on your first visit.
Will definitely add these to things to film next time 🙌
Love your videos so I tried to get here as quick as I could
You succeeded! :)
Great video!
As always awesome vids👍🏾 where did you get your Slytherin house robe?
you guys should’ve gone to the hidden spell locations! super fun. I have a lot of tips too I’ve been there a lot! I might make a video next time I go! loved it tho! helps me not cry given quarantine
Very good idea to make this kind of videos!!! it may help many people to save money and time, and also have a greater time at The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter!! Greetings from Argentina, and congrats for hiting 100k subs!!
Great tips!
I went to both parks on the train and it was fantastic
I'm going next summer with my mom as a high school graduation present. I have read all the books multiple time and watched all the movies many times and I can not wait to go.
I've been to the wizarding world at universal twice. The first time i had access to both parks and the second time i did single parks.
It is very much worth it, like she said, to be able to transition from one park to the other in one day. You get the full experience and just use your following returning days to go back and return to your favorite spots/rides.
I actually got up at around the early park hours, but my Christmas gift was to go here to the first time I left at nine and went to olivandors first thing.
Really cool that they send your purchases to your hotel
you posted it on such a nice time. im going there for the first time on the first weekend of june.
Perfect! I hope the tips are helpful for your trip!
I know I’m late but the tip about annual pass being cheaper than normal tickets is totally true! I stayed for like 11 days once (because why not) and the seasonal annual pass was 100% cheaper plus other benefits too 👍🏻
I'm so sad I couldn't make it this Year because of covid 19 😭😭
I love it when you cheer on the Dragon :'D
3:34 there is a guy in the back with Draco hair lol
Nice video! It helped me a lot!! Thank u!
So glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for the video and all the tips. My family and I are planning our very first trip there in August and your videos are really helpful letting us know what all to expect. Can't wait to go! ☺️ Btw, do you have to exchange money for gringots coins for certain purchases or can you just pay for everything with your card?
Another great tip video
All the tips are useful!!!😁
Yayy i love ur channel
i only recently became a harry potter fan, idk why i never became interested in it sooner, but i hope to go to harry potter world for my 16th birthday in november. i love how they play the music from the movies in the park, i think i’ll cry
Well this is convenient. Going tomorrow! 😁
This looks so nice. It is my dream to travel here some day.
Have you seen the new harry potter Vans collection?!
Watching this during quarentine.
THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING ME TO READ AND COLLECT BOOKS. I didn't really read the Harry Potter books growing up and didn't own any except for a volume of Goblet of Fire in Korean. In the last few years, I have gradually collected Harry Potter books; 6 out of 7 all US EDITION hardcovers from my local Half-Price Books store. I'm a slow reader and I'm currently reading Half-Blood Prince. I can't find the US hardcover of Sorcerer's Stone and I missed my chance at my local library's book sale. (Oh well.) I want to get a copy of Philosopher's Stone Hufflepuff house edition. I also began collecting the collector's editions of the Chronicles of Narnia series. KEEP COLLECTING!
And May the Wizards and witches be with you
great tips
One, I've already been doing. Planning for the day, I finally get to go. And YES, part of that is budgeting for the stuff I want, using Peter's videos. :) What better way, then advice from a fellow Slytherin.
Fellow Slytherinzzz for the WIN!
You are awesome peter thanks for all the amazing videos !!
You are welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it.
Did you know you are reaching 100K !! You are the best collecter ever !!
