We got some heartbreaking news today. Our beloved Williams of Hollywood Prop Shop will be closing permanently on June 26. A lot of changes have been happening around this park and we’re sad to see this store leave.

It’s incredibly hot today, so everyone is trying to stay in the shade. At there are a lot of spots to hide in Diagon Alley.

There were very long lines at Ollivanders for both the shop and the interactive experience. If you’re looking for a new wand, check out the new 2022 Harry Potter Collector’s Edition Wand.

It feels like really low crowds today, but that’s just because everyone is trying to stay out of the sun. At least the pathways are clear through Hogsmeade.

The wait time for Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure was 120 minute, but it really didn’t look like that long of a wait.

It’s always a good sign when VelociCoaster has a low wait time. When we passed by this afternoon, the wait time was only 45 minutes.

Jurassic Park River Adventure had a 70 minute wait. It’s an extremely hot day, so everything is looking for a way to cool down.

Life finds a way. The Discovery Center always draws in a lot of people. Where else can you watch a baby raptor hatch?

Only a 65 minute wait for Skull Island: Reign of Kong. At least most of the queue is indoors.
