Frozen butter beer is best. Don't get too many. Two people can share 1. One for each is too filling. Hulk and both dueling dragons are amazing. The red one is a bit more intense. Over all its amazing!

When you enter the park, be sure to grab a in-park guide map right away. It includes all the attractions, dining venues, show times, and characters meet and greets.

Take a change of clothes and a towel as 2 of the best rides will get you completely drenched. There is no warning that you will get that wet. Ride the Hulk - it is awesome.

All of the Harry Potter rides are amazing, the forbidden adventure is a must! Spider-Man and the hulk were great fun too! Dr Seuss is great for kids. Express pass is a must.

Price is stupid expensive💸, but the rides are just amazing! 👌🏼✨ So much thought goes into “setting the mood” for it all! It’s magical! Go when school’s back on or waste your life away waiting... 😉

Very nice theme park! Mainly roller coasters and water rides, but the theming and atmosphere are awesome! And of course, there's Hogwarts and the Forbidden Journey ride for Potter fans!

The food in Harry potter is good. Make sure to share. The food in Jurassic Park isn't so good. Toon Lagoon is very good for eats. Blondies or Comic Strip Cafe is fabulous.

Came for HP, saw HP. The Dr Seuss area was cute as well and there's a huge shop on the way out that has merch from all the areas in case you couldn't find something.

If you visit Orlando, you have to make sure you visit Islands of Adventure. With Harry Potter, Marvel, Jurassic Park, Dr. Seuss, and more, its a must see for your next vacation...

Great theme park with more adults rids than universal studios. One day is not enough to rid all games especially if it is too busy.

The lockers at the water rides are charged. The Hulk Roller coaster, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the Dragon coaster are a must visit. Grab some souvenirs. Maybe butter beer?

This park is much better than the other one. Be sure to ride the Hulk coaster, it’s my favorite in Florida. Turkey legs can be easily found in the hot dog kiosks in the Jurassic Park area.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was my favorite part! The ride in the castle was great! If you get to the park early, you won't have to wait to ride the Hogwarts Express 😍

Pretty good roller coasters here compared to other parks in the area; however fast pass is a must given the limited number of rides particularly at islands of adventure.

I thoroughly enjoyed Islands of Adventure, although if you're not going to do any water rides, the number of rides you can do is more limited. Harry Potter World here is awesome!

My favorite park in Orlando. Hulk is a must but don't forget about the Wizarding World Harry Potter since it gets really crowded there. I suggest beginning your day there.

This is one of the best amusement parks I've ever been to in my entire life! It was way better than Disney World, as it was more for older kids as opposed to younger kids.

Suess Landing is a good area to let the kids have fun and the adults relax a bit. There's a park there that the kids can have fun in and the parents can relax!

Make sure to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at least once. The queues are quite fun, just remember lots of water since it gets really hot! Also wait until evening to go on The Hulk!!

Hulk roller coaster is definitely one of the best that I've been on. Also, Harry Potter world is fantastic, grab a delicious butterbeer or two from there! & the wait for the castle ride is worth it.

My favorite place on earth! We live locally and go all the time. It's obviously crowded during June-July so expect that if you plan your trip then.

Buy tickets online and come to the park to wait in line to redeem tickets ???? Then crouch in the ticket stand...who designed this? The ticket master and the client need TI be at the same level.

Lots of interesting rides, and fewer simulators as compared to it's neighbouring park. The Harry Potter and Toon Lagoon sections are the best!

Pay $109 to $139 above the ticket price for an Express Pass, or a mere $40 for one ride, or prepare to wait 60-70 min. per ride. Takes a toll after 8 hours! CF to Disney's Fast Pass for FREE.

There is a back door to the wand store—went in by accident, and promptly found ourselves in the store that others were waiting in line 45 minutes just to go in the store (and spend $32 on a wand).

Drinks are cheaper in bars and eat in facilities than from carts. Stay on property and enjoy skipping lines. Call me for great insider secrets to making lines even shorter

Ducks are comfortable walking around people, but if they have babies with them DO NOT PICK THEM UP. The moms will disown the babies. Do not feed them either. Observe the cuties and be respectful!

If visiting Harry potter and lines are long, you can take the less scenic route by going single riders, ride time was 80 minutes for regular line and straight on without taking the tour of the castle

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is such an immersive experience, that you'll swear you've stepped out of the station and straight into the movie. Butter beer is tasty, but try the pumpkin juice!

Harry Potter is a must!! Long line, but worth the wait! The water rides will have you soak and wet! So don't wear light colored shorts/pants if getting on water rides.
