Going 6/28 wondering if the crowds have gone?

[bridget8822]

Is it even worth trying to go to HP next week or are the lines too long? I will have a 5 and 6 year old with me and don't want them to just be standing in line in the heat all day. May stick to wdw. Thanks!

lines are longest for Broomsticks and Ollivanders at least 1-2 hours,all others vary from 20 minutes to hours depending on crowds and times if you stay onsite you get a free breakfast and early entry into the world which could help greatly as the temperatures are better. If not you may want to wait since they will only be able to ride the hippogriff ride and maybe FJ if they are tall and not scared easily. It will be very crowded and it may be too stressful for them. Use your best judgement. Hope you have a wonderful trip!

If you look around in this forum you will see a crowd report thread that is updated daily with reports from people who are onsite. Watch that and you should get an idea of the wait times.

I'm kind of wondering the same thing myself. I'm going with a group of friends (about 4 of us) in a week. We got tickets for IOA on Wednesday but we'll be out late the night before so we might be late risers to make it to the park. We were planning to go to WWOHP but if it's still jam packed I don't know what we'll do. I'm hoping it'll be cleared out a bit by then. We always enjoy IOA so if it comes down to it that we don't make it to WWOHP we'll have a good time riding Spiderman over and over again. It's just a little disappointing since who knows when we'll next make it to IOA/US? I heard the rest of the park is pretty empty by comparison. Is this true?

the rest of IofA was pretty empty from 9-11ish but after 11 the crowds starting showing up and wait lines began growing too. If you go split up and have two ride spiderman and two stand in line and then swap. You may be able to ride all of marvel, toon and jurrasic areas before you get to WWofHP. I did that my second day there and it was great! I had those three areas done by 9:45 and entered potter tiem shortly after that.
