Double post, thanks to the DIS's issues. Just when I said that I thought it was better today.
Seems like 9-11 is the worst. I was doing fine until 9pm and now it semms better again.
Glenn,
I hear you on the DIS being better today. I have had some issues but not like the past few days. I broke this smilie out .

Yes, the DIS being slow has been so frustrating and really made me post much less than usually!
And it is even slow at 9am my time which is 3am on the East Coast. So I am not sure whether it is only traffic related. I hope things will improve again...
Okay, I'm back and catching up on everyone's threads.
I think your plans for your park days sound great. We've not done Harry Potter at Universal but, then again, we aren't huge fans, and we'd rather leave it to the young ones (actually, at our age Universal is not a big hit with us).
No matter how many days you have, it just never seems enough.

Just found your PTR.
Just wanted to say we went to WWoHP the past 2 years.
We ended up staying at Uni. for a few days then transferred over to Disney. WWoHP is really cool even better if you have HP freaks for kids like I do.
This year we are staying in my parents timeshare so wasn't planning on going to WWoHP b/c we aren't staying there. If you stay on property you get the early access which is almost a must w/ HP and FOTL. No such thing as FP for ALL guests there just people staying there.
So we decided not to go this year b/c it's ridiculously expensive for just a 1 day ticket and we'll have to wait in long lines that we're not used to doing.
My kids are extremely bummed!
So what I'm trying to say is I hope you get to go just be aware that it's a little more difficult to go for just 1 day not staying on property.
BTW The Hard Rock Hotel is awesome!! If you ever get a chance to stay.
That is a usual server update time for some places in the US. They figure low usage but don't take into account the international audience.
I know -- I feel bad because I'm not posting as much on other peoples' threads, but I just don't have the time when it takes forever or just goes to some error page.
They need to do something!
I hope they get it fixed soon!
I think..... should I say it out loud...... today .... it .... was.... better...
I read that they were moving over to new servers so maybe that was the issue. I hope.
I agree with you. Having an AP vs. Magic Your Way tickets definitely changes how you plan and tour.
I've been debating WWoHP as well. And with ticket prices, it's an expensive Disney diversion.
Love the Judy/Glennbo smileys!
I agree with many that say do WWOHP this trip.
Another 2-3 years, andthe interest level in Harry Potter and/or availability of the girls might be diminished!
As others have mentioned, it's a relatively compact area, so your "Savannah" people perhaps won't be too stressed!
And, there were several benches that we could just sit at and take in the scenery.
Be there for rope drop so you can soak it up before crowds form.
We were there in late September, and really enjoyed it: much of our IOA time was spent in that area.
I had got our 3 Universal tickets using AirMiles...not the most economical use of AirMiles, but good enough for me & mine (lol, especially as it was my AirMiles we used!)
I love the Judy smilie and Molly got me this time.
Thank you. Molly was on top of her game this round.
Even Judy read the books and loved them....and that's saying something because she's not much of a reader, she's a math person. She helps with all of the math homework, and I get all of the English, science, and everything else. Good thing math is where help is almost always needed.

Pat, I'm surprised I did! Usually you get to it first and Glenn is such a stickler when it comes to reflective Judys or parts of Judy. I really think the Rules Committee is nothing but a sham...
Pat is my Judy sighting nemesis! Seriously though, that smilie is too funny! Does she know that her picture is posted on the DIS?
Ugh, I hate math. Don't tell Judy though! A good friend of mine is a math wizard and an excellent teacher but hates literature. We always joke that if we started a school, she'd teach the math classes and I'd teach the literature ones. But the HP series are really great books! I've read them all as has my two older girls so we're big fans. Heck, if Judy has read them AND you're kids have expressed a desire to go, then I don't see how you can not go to WWoHP.
Ugh, all last week was a nightmare. I just gave up after awhile because it took an eternity to load a page let alone trying to post a comment.
I had planned for Friday to be a relaxing day, enjoying the resort and getting some packing done, but it looks like well be going strong right to the very end and throwing clothes into our suitcases at the last minute! Ah, vacations.
