Magic Starts with a Wave of the Wand

I would like to start off by saying thank you for considering Wave of the Wand Travel for your Universal Orlando vacation. For you vacation I want to bring in as much magic as possible! I have done research on multiple resort packages, and I have chosen some options that I believe will provide you and your family an incredible stay. And also, stay within a reasonable budget that will allow you to spend more time in the parks or on extra experiences! The travel dates you have selected are:

Travel Dates:

Travel Party:

These dates have lower predicted crowd levels, and offer lower nightly rates than peak seasons. However, Halloween Horror Nights(HHN) will be occurring on select night during October. This can increase crowd levels on select night and effect park hours. If you wish to participate in HHN please let me know. Note, HHN is very scary and intense and not recommended for smaller children. The weather around this time of year is much cooler that the summer. As for now, there are no predicted ride or attraction closures(awesome), for details on attraction and ride closures please click here. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on any update. So now, let's review the hotel options! Below, I'll provide a breakdown of your room options.
