30 Day & Counting

[Whisky In A VAse]

We are now on the 40 day countdown to our trip the Florida, everyone is very, very excited.
We have 10 nights in a villa at Hampton Lakes, followed by a 7 night cruise on Disney Magic and as we have never cruised before everyone is again, very very excited.

Planning is full steam ahead, we have some MYW tickets and also IOA and US tickets. Really looking forward to visiting Harry Potter World and hopefully riding Rip It Ride It Rock It....

Any tips or advise on US and IOA would be appreciated as best to avoid crowds etc, I seem to have spend all my time in the villa, Disney days and cruise..

Anyway, Happy Sunday everyone....

Not long now

You will love WWOHP but as I am sure you are aware it gets very very busy
My advice would to get to the IOA park 30 - 40 mins before it opens and head straight to WWOHP
If you really want to see the little show in Olivander's head there first as the lines get really long and it's soooo slow moving. Only 20 or so people go in at a time and the show takes about 10 mins. Don't forget that you can visit the wand shop without going into the show
If you don't want to go to the Olivander show, go straight to Forbidden Journey. Make sure that you go through the regular line at least once as the detail is wonderful. If you want to ride again there is a single rider line which usually has a very short line but you miss a lot of the detail inside the castle.
Make sure you have a butterbeer (frozen is best in my opinion) and if the lines are long at the Butterbeer carts in the street, pop into the Hogs Head Inn to get one where there is usually little or no queue
If you want to send a postcard home, pick one up from the Owl Post where you can get it stamped with a Hogsmead postmark
Have fun
