Average crowd count at IOA

[Jenny3]

Anyone know what the average crowd count is at IOA?

Probably a pretty random question, but we're headed there in early November for both a getaway and a work convention/expo I'm attending. NAR (National Association of Realtors) has reserved IOA from 7:30-11pm for just us Realtors and I'm super, super excited! I'm really hoping that the park is pretty empty compared to an average day so we can see everything at Harry Potter and experience very minimal lines.

That time of year the park closes early around 5-6 pm. The park is open for only your convention / expo. So it will only be people invited to the event. So you should have no problem viewing that area.

Yep, I checked IOA's website and the park closes to the public at 7pm that day, so we really will have it to ourselves! NAR is a huge organization though... will still be a few thousand people, I'm guessing. Which is why I was curious about the average crowd to figure wait times and all that

excluding saturday, early november has low crowds.

Since this is a private event, you won't have anyone else in the park except those invited. Since regular hours are 9-7 during November and the NAR event doesn't start until 7:30pm, the park will be cleared of day guests before the event. So...you should have no lines to speak of so take your time and enjoy everything there is to see.

Awesome, I'm getting even more excited knowing the park will really be pretty empty! Especially that I can tour Harry Potter without the huge crowds; that's my #1 priority. I've seen so many photos online and the crowds look terrible!
