DH is taking DS to see the HP stuff for one day during our Sept Disney trip. We have never been to US or IOA before, so I'm a bit lost when it comes to making a list for things for them to do.
1-I read somewhere that you shouldn't take bags to Universal because they make you put them in a locker while you go on a ride and if you get off the ride sooner than they think you should and try to get your things out of the locker, you have to pay. What about cameras? I'm just ... what?
2-I know Dragons and Forbidden Journey (the ride itself) are out for DH and DS, and DS's main objective is going to be taking pictures of everything on the Hogsmeade side including the theming in the que for Forbidden, but they will most likely ride Gringots and take pictures of everything in Diagon Alley as well. He will also like the chance to have a wand choose him (this is the biggest priority); as I understand it, there is a store on each side that does this. Knowing this, what is the best side for them to start of with?
3-We have the park-to-park tickets, so they will be able to ride Hogwarts Express; they can do this more than once, yes?
4-If I'm looking at the maps right, the HP sections are at the back of each of the parks; what is the quickest way to get to the back of the park?
5-When it comes to the interactive wands, are there places on both sides where he can use the wand and if he is chosen for the pick-a-wand thing, will that wand be an interactive wand? About how much do they cost?
6-The day they are scheduled to go, US is open at 8am and IOA is open at 9am. Considering what DS will want to do, does this really affect which park they should start with?
7-Since DS probably won't get to come back anytime soon, are there any little must see/experience things that you could recommend? I already heard about Moaning Myrtle and have put the info on DH's cheat sheet (along with directions to the parking garage ).
Thank you all for the help. Not sure why I'm so confused about this.
