Agree with previous poster, mid may is definitely the time to go, longest we waited for a ride was 30 minutes. Water rides here are noting short of spectacular, Toon Lagoon is so much fun as are the countless other water rides where the drops are huge and the chance of getting wet are guaranteed.

We just got back from a trip to Orlando and I must say mid-May seems like the time to go. There were pretty short lines, especially in the morning. We were very excited about seeing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and we were not disappointed. It is quite magical - be sure to peek into all the windows, even... More

This is easily my favourite park in orlando. the lay out and design is so well thought out and there's a photo opportunity around every corner. they frequently adapt and update the park, so return visitors don't see the same things over and over. the food options are good and theres fun for people of all ages.

We even enjoyed all the characters. We had a chance... More

Great time with your family. Something for everyone! My boys ages 14-18 all really enjoyed themselves. My wife and I also had a blast.

Our family took a one day adventure to this park. The park was clean and well organized. Lines were not that long (off peak season?). All the rides were awesome - and when they say you are going to get wet they mean it!

I'm a comic geek to the marvel section of this is class. Not a fan of Harry potter but once you have been to Harry potter land you will think its awesome. Butter beer all the way :D

We had a great day here! But we went on the 4th of July and I was disapointed that there weren't any special holiday activities or parades on to celebrate the day. Other than that its a great day out, especially harry potter world!
