‘Sup! Tad the Ravenclaw here, and I’m about to put my Hogwarts house trait of wisdom to the ultimate test. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort is incredibly detailed, and it seems like every time I go, I find something that I had overlooked before. If...

We frogs like to travel light whenever we go to Universal Orlando Resort, but for some rides, locker usage is unavoidable — even if you’re just carrying your phone and wallet. Unlike at Walt Disney World, where you can take your bags on all rides, Universal requires you to check...
