DA opened in June 2014 and we were there the first week in Sept of the same year. It's possible ours were crooked. Good tip! Hopefully they have worked out many of the kinks though. It seems that they have from what I've heard from others :) Tina @ Sugar Bean Bakershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921126867393479538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75662742300739922.post-34854417357612273652017-08-15T16:32:45.858-04:002017-08-15T16:32:45.858-04:00My son's wand had issues at first and then one...My son's wand had issues at first and then one of the witches helped us and realized his sensor was crooked in his wand. That can be the issue as well. The one in Diagon Alley that lights up the upstairs store is awesome and was worth the extra 10 dollars alone to see him do that. Always ask one of the helpful witches to show you the tricks and after that it is easy to doAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75662742300739922.post-55904212939278577572017-04-06T20:26:30.482-04:002017-04-06T20:26:30.482-04:00I've been twice and took my interactive wand b...I've been twice and took my interactive wand back the second time. They aren't as hard as you think. You basically need to ruin some of the magic and realize that there are sensors picking up the movement of your wand. Look in the window for the sensor, it's a round camera lens with red lights. Then point your wand in the direction of the camera. You'll want to be about 2-4 feet away. Use small movements to create the movement shown on the plaque. There are also hidden ones to look out for too. But, if you want just a souvenir, then the slightly cheaper ones are great too. That's what my husband got and they feel a little more authentic.

Thanks to you I...Nice recap and great photos, Tina. Thanks to you I found Orlando Informer and love it there. I liked Gringott's very much but still prefer Forbidden Journey. Diagon is much more immersive than Hogsmeade, though. My hubby said the same, DA is basically shops with a ride but I really enjoyed it. It definitely is cooler there and thus makes it a good spot to relax from the heat, too. The ice cream was very good. We ate at the Three Broomsticks as well because of a picky husband but I like the interior of the Leaky Cauldron better, it's brighter. Overall it's definitely a great place for Harry fans!
