Harry Potter Front of the Line

[ADP]

Hey Everyone,

I was on the phone with Universal reservation's annual pass hot line. I asked specifically about front of the line access for Harry Potter attractions. According to the reservationist who was reading this info from a screen she stated "If you are staying at an onsite property there will be unlimited front of the line access for the Dragon Challenge and Flight of the Hippogriff; however, you will only be allowed 1 front of the line access per day at the new attraction Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.

I would assume they will utuilize some sort of scanning technology to monitor resort guests access into the Forbidden Journey.

I also asked about early theme park entry into Harry Potter for resort guests. I was told the Harry Potter package guests would be allowed in one hour early and regular resort guests without the package would be allowed in 30 minutes early.

Again...This is what I was told...The reservationist seemed to be reading this so it sounds like the message Universal is passing along to their reservation team.

It should also be noted that the new restaurant "The Three Broomsticks" will serve sit down breakfast, but will change to counter service for lunch and dinner. This was info I got from posters on the Universal forums on the DIS.

Thanks for the update Aaron.

I have been watching the various views on the USF/IOA boards

I was told the Harry Potter package guests would be allowed in one hour early and regular resort guests without the package would be allowed in 30 minutes early.

BTW...there is no such thing as front of line any more. There are only standby and Express lines for attractions.
