    Update on Wizarding world of Harry Potter. JUNE 18th is official opening - it is on the website now
    http://www.universalorlando.com/harrypotter/

    Updated it on main thread too. Been wondering about those May 28th arrivals though- maybe they will be the only ones allowed in- seems they are no longer taking bookings before June 18th.

    I've been looking online, looks more amazing than words can say. I don't suppose anyone knows whether HP and the Forbidden Kingdom will have a height restriction on it yet, do they?? I am sooooo excited.

    From my experience (7th time to orlando) its always cheaper to buy 7-14 day tickets over here. Day passes are better over their.
    I always buy my disney tickets direct from disney and flexi tickets from orlando ticket deals.com although this year it was cheaper to by them through virgin eventhough i didnt book with them!

    I am aware that the 14 days for the price of 7 runs out next week, and am not quite ready to book my holiday before then. My SIL says that this offer is ALWAYS on, but not sure how true this is - is my SIL right?

    Does anyone know whether the ESTA form is checked BEFORE you leave this country when you ARRIVE in the US? Would hate to travel to the US only to be declined entry at the airport:eek:

    OH B*GGER. Must get the kids eating more veg before then. Best food for a 10cm growth spurt anyone..... I've got a mark on the front room door frame to check my son is growing, LOL. Allowing for shoes I reckon we've got another 7cms to grow before October.

    Thanks for posting, never thought of checking the site. Do you have the link to the PDF please, I'll check out the heights on the other rides too.
