My FH and I are going to Universal for our honeymoon and we can't wait. He's a Harry Potter so he can't wait to see the new attractions. I haven't been in over 16yrs. We are staying about 10min away at our timeshare. Just wanted to know if anyone knows other fun stuff to do in the area? Does Universal offer anything special for honeymooners? We went to Disney 2yrs ago so we want to stay away from there this time. Thanks!

I don't know what they offer honeymooners. Im sure they do something. But Universal CityWalk is super fun. Especially at night for dinner, movies, I think a few clubs, great shopping as well

I agree the city walk is super fun!!! Lots of restaurants there and I believe also a movie theater.

Universal has a really great app that allows you to see the wait times for rides so you can plan strategically when to ride what. We loved universal! We got there when the park first opened and hit Harry Potter world right away and experienced very limited wait times for rides. Also, there are several rides that won't let you bring personal belongings, so you need to get a locker. The lockers are usually located nearby and are free if the ride requires it. A lot of people get caught up by getting to the ride, having a cast member tell them they need a locker, and then having to go back out. So check for the lockers beforehand. Enjoy!

Biggest tip I have: They JUST started including HP rides in the Express Line passes. Totally worth the money if you find it's busy while you're there.

When I went a few years ago, The only way you can ride the Hogwarts Express is if you get a park hopper ticket. It was fun but not crucial to the HP experience. What IS is trying both the regular and frozen butterbeer, yum!!
Discovery Cove is an amazing experience if you want to be on a tropical island in the middle of Orlando. You can snorkel with rays, swim with dolphins, feed tropical birds, or just relax with a drink on their sandy beaches. It's expensive but also includes access to Seaworld and Aquatica. I'm sure they have romantic packages!
