First time US/IOA only trip

[JDis1015]

So my family and I (my mom, dad, and sister - 15) are going to be going on our first US/IOA only trip September 24-28th. Any tips or tricks? Previously, we've had WDW trips with a day or two at Universal. I'm very excited but kind of nervous as we are all used to WDW and I know this will be different. We are staying at the new Cabana Bay resort and have the three broomsticks breakfast our first morning there. I love all of the attractions but the main even for my family is definitely all the HP things! TIA for any and all information!

Be aware that your dates fall right as the first full weekend of Halloween Horror Nights kicks off. Thursday-Sunday that week the Studios will close at 5pm for HHN set up. If you aren't planning on attending, you should plan to do the Studios in the morning and then head over to IOA in the afternoon/evening.

The 24th and 25th will not be very busy. Although, Diagon Alley may be busy and only time will tell. The 26th to the 28th will be busier than the 24th and 25th due to HHN and it is a weekend. Generally, that time of year is less crowded. I would suggest doing as much of WWHP on Wednesday and Thursday as possible.
