Best day for IoA...?

[doclegler]

New to Harry Potter, but not US/IoA....just wondering if Sunday is the best day to do IoA? I'm looking ahead to October and trying to figure out the best day to visit. Is there any sort of crowd level calendar?
Thanks so much!

Interested in this too. We'll be at WDW for a week starting 10/12.

Best day is Sunday.

We did Sunday in early November and it was very quiet. No waits. It was chilly but no 'bad' weather so to speak.

Not aware of any crowd calendars for US/IOA but you can see their Express Pass pricing is based on anticipated demand.

We are going next week. When I first looked at the EP pricing, it was code Green (2nd lowest price). Now its Orange (3rd level). So if you know you are going to buy them and they are Blue or Green level, you may want to buy them then.

Would this work for the week before Easter because that is the day we have planned (Sunday!).

Thanks so much for your reply. Is the express pass for certain rides, or only HP rides? New to this system!

The express pass is good for all rides except Rip Ride Rockit, Forbidden Journey and Pteranadon Flyers.

Not sure, since I believe spring break is still going on for some areas. On a normal week, though, I agree with damo--Sunday is in general a great day to visit.

actually, a tuesday might be very good if you go in october.
weekends will have the HHN crowd and parks do close earlier.
studios closes to the public at 5:00 and IOA later.

for those that do not attend HHN, they usually switch to IOA for the remainder of the park hours.

HHN is held on thur, friday, sat, sunday.
wednesdays are added to the schedule in mid october.

our spring break started yesterday.

I dont doubt it. I was referring to the week before Easter, as that was when the PP was going. I'm thinking spring break should be just about over then. I should have used "would still be" instead of "is".

If I'm only going to do IOA in October, is Sunday still good? Our last day is Tuesday and I want to end the trip at a Disney Park.

That would be fine.

Man, some of you folks are hard to please. I did say "just about over", not "over", no?

throw a shoe at me next time i screw up and not read the entire sentence posted at hand.



the only reason i know the dates of our school break is due to teaching ..........

It's all good. I try to give the super-vets a little slack.
