Universal Studios Florida is one of the three theme parks at the Universal Orlando Resort. Here you'll find Springfield (the Simpsons) New York City, Chicago, San Francisco and London, aka Diagon Alley from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We love Universal Studios, so we've picked what we think is the most awesome to share, and we've got some opinions about what to skip over. Also, give a listen for the details of how to ride the Hogwarts Express, because you can't just show up to the park to ride it.
