Our Favorite Universal Orlando Resort Attractions You Can't Miss | Condé Nast Traveler

"There’s no better way to journey from London to Hogsmeade than the Hogwarts Express. Not just an attraction, the train serves as practical transportation between Universal Orlando Resort’s two theme parks. Watching the Hogwarts Express steam into the station at Platform 9¾ will make you feel as though you’ve been transported to a film set. The train and its interior compartments have been recreated in painstaking detail, right down to the upholstery. Once your journey begins, don’t just watch the countryside pass by out your window. The action is happening all around you, as certain beloved characters—and maybe a dementor or two—stop by your carriage door." - Valerie Marino

Decent way to get between parks during the daytime. Depending on the line, it may be faster to simply use your legs. The train itself is exactly how you'd imagine it. They did a real good job on making it feel authentic to the movies/books. Worth doing once.

This is one of the most magical rides I've ever been to. It's not fast, it is just....magical. You must take it both ways to experience the two different trips between King's Cross and Hogsmeade. It is short, but worth it 100%

A fantastic experience I must say. It lasts approximately 7 minutes. You can travel from Hogsmeade to Diagon Alley. The waiting time is relatively short, with very good decoration. Once in the train car, to make the trip more entertaining, they play some animations that make the journey more majestic and magical.

What an amazing idea to make a ride of the transport vehicle between Universal Studios and Islands of adventure. What makes it even more special is that the ride is different in both directions. Also the screens along the windows and doors is done so seamlessly that it looks like you are really in the middle of a Harry Potter adventure. It really feels like your first day to Hogwarts!

Omg this ride was fantastic! The attention to detail was amazing. Even for the non Harry Potter fans, it was great ride. Each car sits 8 people, 4 on each side and looks just like in the movie. You do need a park to park pass to ride this ride. And highly advise an express pass during peak times as wait times can easily go over an hour long. The employees though do an amazing job making lines move as quickly as possible.

EXCELLENT way to travel between parks!! It is our experience that the wait time to travel from hogsmeade (Islands of adventure side) typically has a shorter wait time than diagon alley (universal side) The train provides a welcome rest for your legs and feet......air conditioned train cars provide relief from the florida heat! Keep in mind, you need your park to park tickets to board......they scan them to verify you can travel between parks. Inside the train car, hogwarts characters entertain you with a screen simulating passing through the countryside and eventually arriving at your destination. Strollers welcome! There is a storage area for them! Highly recommend!

Great Harry Potter themed transportation between the two parks. Could you walk, of course, but why not go via the majestic Hogwarts Express?! Very fun to immerse yourself into the world of all things Harry Potter. The negatives of this attraction is the disparity between the posted wait times and what is actually experienced. A good example was our most recent ride. The posted time said it was 10 minute wait. We were closer to 40 minutes from the time we entered the queue to when we boarded the train. I wish they could fix the posted timing to be more accurate.

How can you visit the world of Harry Potter and not ride the trane? Is it cool? Yup. Be sure and ride both ways. The experience is different each way. All aboard for platform 9 3/4!
