Early entry for Wizarding world but which park?

[Jenn504]

i will be staying on site at hard rock Oct 24-27. I want to take advantage of Early Entry on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I looked at park hours and island opens at 9 every morning, studios opens at 8 on Sunday, and 9 the other two days. Does only Island open early and if so when does hogwarts express start running. I would love to hear how to best attack early entry now that Wizarding World now includes both parks.

I stayed on site January 2014 for three days and took advantage of it every day and it was great. It was so nice walking through Hogsmeade with little crowds, got some great pictures. No wait at Ollivanders.

It's too soon to figure out which park will have EE as it keeps changing.

Going for the first time since the newest HP opened. I didn't realize only one park would have EE at a time. Is that correct? If so, where can you find out which park has it on which day? I'd like to plan slightly ahead if I can and take advantage of EE as much as possible.

i see it on the front page of the UO website.
it usually does not have the listing very far out though.

you'll probably find which park opens first from those posting from the parks.

but, signs are up at the onsite hotels to let you know which park opens early.
can't miss it.

cinderella, when are you going to the darkside?

Thanks macraven. I see park hours on there, but does that give an indication of which park had EE today? I guess I can wait to get to the hotel and find out then. I'll be there in early November. I know it will be slow then anyway, but last time we went in November, 2 years ago, HP was still mobbed!

the note about which park has EE is on the bottom below the main picture on the first page.
the park that will be open in november won't be listed to much later this year.

for summer months, it is listed soon as the parks stay crowded during that time.
early november has low crowds and not as active.

i'm afraid to even guess when they would have the EE park listed.
i lean towards it being known later in october.

i'll be onsite in october to the 16th.
if i find out while there which park it will be, i'll come back and post it here.

Thanks for your help macraven. That would be great if you could post the days once you're back. I'll keep an eye out for it!

It can change right up until the day before.We went in Jan this year and it was supposed to be at the studios.Our first day it was.The rest of the time it was at IOA..It changed and even the signs at the boat dock at Portofino had it wrong.The TM at the boat dock was who told us .
