Hogsmeade Universal Orlando

Hogsmeade

Hogsmeade gives me all the cozy vibes – even when I visit in the summer when it’s 100 degrees in Orlando and especially when it’s chilly in December & January. The buildings are always covered with snow and in the winter, Hogsmeade is decorated with all the Christmas decorations.

 

Hogwarts Castle

Hogwarts Castle

You can’t leave Universal Orlando without a picture in front of the Hogwarts Castle.

Photo tip: instead of taking a picture right in front of the castle with a million people in your photo, go left to the bridge and you’ll also get the beautiful greenery.
