Hi All,
I'm a Disney near-veteran, but a Universal newbie, trying to plan a couple of days at US/IOA. I'm a major planner, so I thought I'd post our plan to see if anyone thought there were any flaws in it. Thanks in advance for any input!
We are going to be at a conference at the Contemporary, staying overnight 7/30. We have reservations at PB for 7/31 and 8/1, and are flying out of Orlando early in the morning on 8/2. Our family is myself, DH, DS9 (almost 10), DS5, and DS3, and our primary focus will be WWoHP for DS9's bday. We have 2 day base (not hopper) tickets.
We're going to try to leave the Contemporary early in the morning on 7/31 and drive to Universal to check-in and pick up our keys for FOTL access (recognizing that the room won't be ready yet). We'll do US on the first day, since we won't get there in time for early entry for WWoHP. We'll try to do all of US in time to get the kids back to the room for a reasonable bedtime. Then we'll get up early to go to WWoHP early entry at 7am
on 8/1. Head to Ollivander's first, then FJ, regular line, leaving the stroller with our bags parked outside. Take all of the kids through the line to see the castle, then baby swap to ride (DS9 will get to ride twice). Then we'll do some shopping in WWoHP, ride the other 2 rides with FOTL, eat early lunch at 3 broomsticks (with butterbeer!), and head out to the rest of IOA. Take a break at hotel for nap mid afternoon, then head back to IOA to try to do whatever we haven't yet, and head back to WWoHP to see it in the evening and re-do whatever.
Sorry this is so long! Does this plan seem to work? Any comments are welcome and very appreciated!
Thanks!!!
