Diagon Alley 9/2

[Disneyhappy]

Last day at Universal. We have been here since Friday. Standing in line to enter Universal Studios park and I am second in line. On Saturday at this time there were at least 150 people in line behind us at this time. Crowds have really been down since yesterday. PBH occupancy dropped 50%. Gringotts is truly amazing as well as the entire Diagon Alley and Hogwarts Express. This long time Disney enthusiast is blown away. I have never seen something so perfectly themed. I thought Disney was a devil for details but Harry Potter theming puts USO way ahead of the pack.

That's good to hear. All of us going this month were hoping for lower crowds and wondering how early admission would be.

I was there last night and it was pretty empty. We were finally able to ride Gringotts(It was broken down all day Friday) and transformers was walk on. I was also BLOWN AWAY and decided I needed more time in DA than giving Disney (I am onsite there) any more of my $ for MNSSHP and the same old stuff.

It was so fun to stick two wands in our pockets and walk around having the time of our lives. Oh the ineteractive wand lines were non existant. My son was able to let a little girl use his and showed her how to do the choloate frog, he was so happy to share the straight up joy of casting spells.

I am SOOOO excited just 4 more days until we leave, and in 7 days we will be giving our 14 year old the best birthday trip ever...The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!! Can't wait to see it all through her eyes and hear her explain it all! Better finish up the movies this week too so I understand it all...lol
Also very happy to hear crowds have tapered off like we all expected and hoped!

Bring the tissues!! It's very overwhelming to provide your children who are true HP fans the level of happiness that walking into DA brings. So so excited for you guys!

At 11 am the wait showed 45 minutes. All weekend it was 120 minutes when we visited during the day. I think wait times will be much better now that summer is over.

I saw that wait time too and was startled to say the least. Hope it holds all month like this! 20 days left here until I go!!!

Apparently they have got 7 vehicles going at Gringotts too. That's going to help.
