After just 5 weeks the new park has seen almost a million and a half visitors. Which is why having a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redweek.com\/timeshare-rentals\">timeshare rental<\/a> when you head there yourself is one of the smartest things you can do!<\/p>\n<p>Those of you who are old hands at timeshare vacations already know what you newbies will learn quickly enough &#8211; it&#8217;s great to have a place to stay that is not only budget-friendly, but also spacious, and gives you enough vacation time to enjoy activities without getting worn out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.universalorlando.com\/harrypotter\/\">The Wizarding World of Harry Potter<\/a> is proving so popular that Universal is learning what crowd-control is all about. Its latest announcements are suggesting that you come in the afternoons after 3pm when the crowds have dissipated somewhat. Since you&#8217;ll have a timeshare with lots of room for relaxing, you&#8217;ll easily be able to follow that advice. <\/p>\n<p>One reviewer said, &#8220;Obviously, crowds were going to be massive, and visitors should expect that. Frankly, I think Universal&#8217;s done a wonderful job so far.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When you do find yourself in a long line, you&#8217;ll see that Universal has planned even that to be a part of your Harry Potter experience. As you can imagine there is quite a wait to get onto the Forbidden Journey ride, the centerpiece of the theme park. <\/p>\n<p>However, as this review explains, that&#8217;s all part of the fun. &#8220;The queue line for this ride is almost as much fun as the ride itself!  I know, hard to believe, but I really enjoyed the line. As you move from section to section of Hogwart&#8217;s Castle, you see a different show with different effects and props. In fact, I liked that I was able to move slowly through the castle to appreciate all the shows and effects.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Robert Niles, publisher of ThemeParkInsider.com, a website devoted to theme-park news, said the reviews of Universal&#8217;s handling of the crowds so far have been generally positive. &#8220;I think almost everyone understands that this is a hugely popular thing and there&#8217;s going to be a lot of waiting involved,&#8221; Niles said. &#8220;People are used to the fact that the really popular things are going to have lines.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redweek.com\/browse\/North+America\/United+States\/Florida\/Greater+Orlando-timeshares\">Orlando timeshare<\/a>, you&#8217;ll have up to a week&#8217;s time to enjoy the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Let the crowds mass at the gates at 7am &#8211; you can sleep in, enjoy a leisurely breakfast in your timeshare kitchen, take a swim in the resort&#8217;s pool, and generally just ease yourself into your Harry Potter day! <\/p>\n<p>Photo courtesy images.google.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened June 18, 2010, at Universal Orlando. &#8220;If you&#8217;re a Harry Potter fan, it&#8217;s a dream come true,&#8221; said one excited fan.
