So, in case you haven't seen our exhaustive coverage on the subject, Universal Studios is planning to open a Harry Potter theme park this spring. They haven't yet released an official opening date for "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter," which will be located within Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure, but they have announced the first vacation package specifically aimed at visitors to the Harry Potter park.

The packages at UniversalOrlando.com, which start at $285 per person or $829 for a family of four, promise early access and all sorts of goodies. Of course they're really pimping the expensive four-night plan at $645 per person or $1,548 for a family of four, which includes four nights at one of Universal�s three on-site AAA Four Diamond hotels, three days of admission to Universal Studios and Universal�s Islands of Adventure theme parks, express access to rides and attractions to bypass the regular lines, early park admission to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, breakfast at the Three Broomsticks, and a commemorative ticket for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

And although they warn us in the press release that we shouldn't assume anything from the date that these packages are available, we're going to anyway; the Harry Potter vacation package begins on May 28. This means that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter has to be open before then, or else Universal Studios will be dealing with some very unhappy families of four, all sporting Hogwarts scarves in the Florida heat.
