Summertime at the Orlando attractions

Summertime is definitely the high travel season for Orlando, when visitors from around the country and across the globe fill the theme park attractions. And this year, there are several factors that might make Orlando even more attractive to tourists than ever. With gas prices going down, Orlando has become more affordable as a road trip destination for Floridian travelers.

The driving force for Orlando tourism this summer is expected to be The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure. The soft opening is already underway, and the highly anticipated grand opening has been generating a buzz among theme park lovers for a couple of years now, and it will undoubtedly attract fans of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels from both sides of the Atlantic.
