How can I board the Hogwarts Express?

The Hogwarts Express includes stations to board at Universal Studios Florida's Diagon Alley area and Islands of Adventure's Hogsmeade area. Although the Hogwarts Express is a ride, it also serves as a transportation system that connects Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. Because of this, you are required to have a park-to-park admission ticket or an annual pass. A single park ticket of any kind, including single park multi-day tickets, will not grant you access onboard the train.
