Here! Check in went perfect at RPH, spent some time at Universal Studios. Braved Gringotts 90 minute wait. Broke down twice while we were in line, then in the holding room after the elevatar. The room was full, and they pushed four more elevators of people in...5 yo son had a panic attack and we left poor kid was being pushed around and had elbows basically in his face. Hate that they queue you up in solid lines, then herd you in a huge room (ppl are rude). We will try again!

But, he loved ET and the few other rides we went on. Dinner at Hard Rock Hotel pool bar, great chicken Caesar salad. HHN looked totally packed, boats were efficient and pedicabs too. IOA tomorrow!

I am sorry that your so. Had a hard time at the Gringott's ride! I really hope that they have all the glitches and stuff worked out when we go in the spring! All these stories are a little disconcerting.. Hubs has panic attacks sometimes, and I don't think he would handle that situation very well!

Hope the rest of your trip is lots of fun!!

lazer, try again on monday.
weekends tend to get crowds and they can slack off during the week.

lazer, i think this coming week is hell week, when the high schools are out for conferences on thur/fri.

but, you never know if that will make a difference in the parks.
this past week i ran into crowds, many families and tour groups, but i managed fine in the parks.

lazer- I think we were with you that morning on the 17th!

They kept announcing that the ride was back in motion and people would cheer..... and then nothing.... just more waiting.... I think they mentioned like four times that the ride was back in motion before the line actually started moving again. We were at the bottom of the spiral staircase before the loading platform. I was amazed that the area behind us kept getting more and more crowded and the elevators kept unloading more and more people.

We loved the EFG ride, just wished it lasted a little longer.

Just this morning, park opened at 8. We got in line at 9:20 with a 30 minute wait. Got on the rise in exactly 30 minutes!!!
