Event at KSC - 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm
===== Getting there =====
'''NOTE: The only way to access the event is via our shuttles.'''
Shuttles depart from the Dolphin hotel. We'll gather near registration (lobby level, near convention entrance) and will start a line down the hall. There will be people and signs directing you. Shuttles will start loading at 6:15 pm. The last shuttle will load and leave at 6:45 pm, don't miss it. It is about an hour drive to Kennedy Space Center.
A wristband + name badge is required to access transportation and the event.
 
Shuttles will return shuttles starting at 9:00 pm - they will depart from a different location than where you were dropped off, so follow signs and staff. Due to the length of drive, buses will not depart until they ate full. The last departure returning will leave at 10:40 pm.

NOTES:
[1] The only way to access the event is via our shuttles.
[2] The parks close at 6:00 pm and the only way to access them is via our shuttle (because we are going in a back gate and not the main entrance).


Universal has two sides - Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. [https://www.universalorlando.com/web/en/us/universal-orlando-resort/the-wizarding-world-of-harry-potter/hub/index.html Wizarding World of Harry Potter] has two sides, Hogsmeade on the Islands of Adventure Side and London/Diagon Alley on the Studios side. They are connected by the Hogwarts Express. So we'll have full run of both Harry Potter theme parks for the full time + food will be available on both sides. The parks close before our event and the only way to access them is via our shuttle (because we are going in a back gate and not the main entrance).
===== Dinner =====
7:30 pm - 10:30 pm
British fare served in both parks. Check out the Leaky Cauldron and Three Broomsticks, as well as carts throughout. Butterbeer (of course!)
