It’s another quiet day here at the Universal Orlando Resort, but we’re ready to explore the parks and see what’s new. As soon as we arrived, we spotted signs at the entrance of the park informing guests that the Hogwarts Express was closed for the day due to scheduled maintenance.

The attraction was only closed for the day, but it means we’ll have to walk between parks today.

The crowds around the park weren’t bad and many attractions had low wait times.

Even with Diagon Alley empty, the Wand Experience still had a long line.

Crowds picked up a little bit as the morning went by, but it was still a really enjoyable day.

The wands on display have been sanitized so many times some of them have started to change color. That’s a good thing, though!

Still working on the fountains in the lagoon.

It’s time for a little magic in Hogsmeade! We made our way over to Islands of Adventure and joined Wolfe to learn some spells around the Wizarding World during our YouTube livestream. Be sure to subscribe to Universal Parks News Today on YouTube so you can catch us live from the parks every Thursday.

It really was a beautiful night in the parks.
