Continuing our park-hopping adventure! After lots of research, we decided to rope-drop Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry 🧙‍♂️⚡ 🚍 Morning Strategy Took the 8:15 AM shuttle — Epic Universe is far! (~20 mins from hotel) Joined the already-long but moving line — entered around 9:00 AMWent RIGHT toward Wizarding World ⚡ Harry Potter: Battle at the Ministry Queue was stunning — every room is uniquely designedAmazing visual effects — 100% worth the 1-hour wait Exited at 10:18 AM 🌠 Stardust Racers (Dueling Coaster) Saw a 35-min wait — jumped in immediately INSANE RIDE! Dual tracks, high speed, 2 surprise launches 🚀 So good we rode it twice! 🍄 Lunch at Toadstool Cafe No reservation needed here (unlike LA!)Food = cute but average — scan QR code to orderLucky break: heavy rain started during our meal — outdoor rides delayed 👹 Monsters Unchained Indoor dark ride — like “Forbidden Journey” but monster-themedPerfect for a rainy escape 🐉 Hiccup’s Wing Gliders Wait time: 85 mins (acceptable since outdoor rides were closed) Way more fun than expected — smooth and thrilling! 🎪 Le Cirque Arcanus Show Inspired by Fantastic Beasts — magical stage effects Great storytelling — a nice indoor break 🍽️ Dinner at Cafe L’air De la Sirene Fair prices, decent foodRefueled before our final rides 🌙 Night Rides Stardust Racers reopened after 5-hour delay — night rides are next-level with lights!
