We were really just focused on HP stuff this past trip. So we enjoyed lower crowds around Hogsmeade. Did some spells, took some photos, ate breakfast. It's not empty then, but certainly less crowded than later in the day.So, for EE at IOA, if you also have express pass, what’s the best way to use the EE time? (Besides Velocicoaster?)
Neither ride has express so it's basically just get in line & wait.I’ll have Express so I was planning to ride Velocicoaster and then head to Hagrid. Any idea how they’re dealing with the queue there?
We haven't been since the change but I think I've seen that they do start letting folks line up before official opening but I'm not sure how long before that starts - hopefully someone that's been there more recently can helpI haven’t been since the change. Do people try to line up before official park opening? How is Universal handling that?
That’s what I’m planning to try next week. I’ll let you know how it goes. I’ll have Express and the lines at Velocicoaster haven’t been long enough to tempt me into getting out that early, especially if it’s chilly out.Would it make sense to do Velocicoaster at 8:00 early entry, and then line up for Hagrid's immediately thereafter? How long would the wait for Hagrid's likely be at that point?
They use it on the busiest of days.Is there no virtual line anymore?

How early did you get to the park to be at the front? I've never gotten to rope drop on time but I'll be there over break with a first timer for 1 day, so I'm hoping to do both these like you did!
