2 lines into IOA for offsite and onsite guests?

[pmickus]

Are there 2 entrance lines for those staying onsite and offisite? We are staying onsite and will get to the park around 7am since we are suppose to be able to go into WWOHP by 8am. I just don't want to get stuck behind alot of offisite guests already lining up to enter the park.

How busy are the ticket kiosks in the morning? I want to purchase our tickets online but need to activate them at the self service kiosks.

We went early on Tuesday and again today (Friday). Both days we took the water taxi from Royal Pacific just after 7am. Tuesday they let onsite guests in to the right (Suess land) and we sat there for maybe 10 minutes, then we proceeded on and I think they held the line again for a bit. We had to show our hotel express passes to get into the line and then again to get into HP. There was a line for FJ but it was mostly just navigating the queue. Today we had to show the key cards twice, same as Tuesday. We were not held at any point, just had to walk walk walk. The FJ line was non existent, there were people but it really was just navigating the queue. The line for Ollivanders was already forming and was quite lengthy when we got out of FJ. The wand cart line was still pretty short. I didn't pay attention to the butter beer line. We were able to get into Zonks easily whereas after a bit on Tuesday they were controlling the entrance.

We asked about breakfast at the 3 broomsticks and the person at the door confirmed that it was only available for he package guests. You could not make a reservation for breakfast without the package.

Would you suggest going to Olivanders first, then?

Thanks for the info. What time are they actually opening up the WWOHP for onsite guests. I have had several people (who have not been yet) tell me they heard the park will open at 6am to accommodate all the guests? Is this true? I was still under the impression that it did not open until 8am for onsite guests but you could enter IOA around 7am and stand in line for the WWOHP to open up?
