AAA is now selling vacation packages to Universal Orlando® for travel beginning May 28 to include the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter area in the Islands of Adventure theme park scheduled to open this spring. The 4-night AAA Universal Vacations package starts from $285 per adult for off-site accommodations and $645 for the on-site Four Diamond hotels.

The package includes hotel, a 3-day base ticket to both Universal Orlando theme parks – one theme park/per day, early park admission to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, one breakfast at the Three Broomsticks restaurant, commemorative ticket, and a souvenir cup with one free drink and 79-cent refills (an exclusive AAA member benefit).

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will include a massive Hogwarts Castle and new rides include 'Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey,' 'Flight of the Hippogriff' and 'Dragon Challenge' (a remake of the former Dueling Dragons coaster). J.K. Rowling devotees will enjoy the Owlery (with animatronic owls in the rafters) and Ollivander's Wand Shop as well as numerous shops and food outlets in a Potter-themed village. You won't see replicas of the main characters, however, per Rowling's wishes. Go to AAA.com/Universal or contact your local AAA office for booking, full details and conditions.
