Universal Orlando Announces July 8 Opening Date for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley

One of the most asked questions of the Orlando summer – “When will The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley open?” – finally has an answer: July 8.

Universal Orlando made the announcement in a morning press conference.

This date is later than many fans originally thought, but purchasers of special Universal Vacations packages are guaranteed admission to Diagon Alley, even if their travel dates fall before July 8. There will also be soft openings at random times prior to the official opening day.

Once open, fans with a 2-park pass will be able to travel between Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade via the Hogwarts Express train. How fun will that be – you never have to leave the HP realm the entire day, if you don’t want to.

Are you looking forward to the opening of Diagon Alley? It’s only a few weeks away.
