The day we've been waiting for has finally arrived... The announcement was made just yesterday that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is officially opening at Universal Studios Hollywood on April 7, 2016! Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, butterbeer... all in California and included with your regular Universal Studios Hollywood admission. Be still my muggle heart! If there is one gift I would wish for this Christmas, it is definitely a vacation with a day at Universal Studios Hollywood. I know I'm not alone, so we created an easy and fun way for you to give your family a vacation to Universal Studios Hollywood.
We figured that the best way to find out that you are going to visit Hogwarts would be to receive an official acceptance letter to the most famed school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We decided to give the standard Hogwarts acceptance letter a fun vacation spin to announce a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood. You can easily print off as many copies of the official letter as you need, and then give one to each of the aspiring witches and wizards in your family for Christmas to announce your upcoming vacation!

Also, since it's fun to have tickets, we created some tickets for the Hogwarts Express. Same thing... just print off as many tickets as your family will use. You can have your kids turn in their train tickets as they board the plane or load up in the family car to make the trek to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Hi everyone! Diane, you'll want to click on the "Front" or "Back" options shown after the description of the printable. That will open the link to download and print. Jenna, Justin, and Missy - we are working on getting that ticket available with the Orlando wording available. Since the ticket is an older file it is having some trouble exporting to the new system. We are hoping to have it up within the next week and thank you for your patience!
Diane September 2017April 15 2017
How do you get the link to print it off. Thank you.
JennaMarch 30 2017
How do we get the printable to say Orlando instead of Hollywood?
MissyMarch 29 2017
Thank you for the Orlando printable...do you have the Orlando ticket available?
JustinMarch 13 2017
Thank you so much for the free printables, do you happen to have an Orlando version of the train ticket? Both of them you linked to say Hollywood.

I still don't see an Orlando version of the acceptance letter, but there is one of the map. Might have to change Santa's "reveal" plans.

Hi Buffalo Mom! We will be adding an Orlando addition to this soon and will make sure to let you know when we do.

Love this! Santa is bringing a Universal Orlando trip this year and is in desperate need of a letter to Orlando for a Christmas morning surprise! Can you help?

Hi Mary, You'll have to download the front separately and print that first. Then, you'll download the back separately and print on the same piece of paper, just on the other side. The front download is working for us. If it's still not showing when you click "front," try switching browsers and see if that helps. Thanks so much!
MariaNovember 02 2016
Do you have a vacation announcement for Orlando? We are surprising our daughter with a Universal Studios vacation this January.
MaryNovember 01 2016
Hi, I love your ideas! I have tried to print the letter but it comes up blank and only shows the back side, no front side with the words. Not sure what is happening, any suggestions?? Thank you
MariaOctober 13 2016
I would also love a version for Orlando! We are telling our kids in a week, so soon would be great! :)
TaraOctober 10 2016
Didn't see a response for Orlando. Any chance these exist?
AmberOctober 05 2016
Any chance you have these (including the Map) for Orlando?!

Any way to change the name to Universal Studios Florida?

It's been working for us. You could try switching browsers to see if that helps. Also, be sure you're printing both the "front" and "back." The "back" will look like a blank textured piece of paper. Best of luck!
AnonymousMarch 11 2016
The printable is just blank when I click on the link. Any suggestions?
