Love the photo's, how busy is HHP world. We're going on the 17/08 and 18/08. From reading other threads, its better on a night, but I think next week it starts closing at 8pm. My Matt will love the sweet shop. He has chocolate frogs on his list of purchases.
I kewp checking Accuweather to see how the weather is doing, and its saying two days of rain 13/08 and 14/08. Thew sunshine. Lets hope the rain doesn't come. I don't care if its hot, I don't like getting my hair wet, it spoils my photo's LOL.
Keep posting.
Crowds are unbelievable. Being a resort guest we could get in from around 7:30am, we arrived at 7:40am still took us 50 mins from joining the forbiden Journey ride line to exit, although we could have maybe knocked 10 mins off if we hadn't been taking pics and letting people pass.
Dragon challenge was then walk on at 9am, also no wait for Honeydukes, 5 min wait for Dervish & Banges, when we went on Thursday evening the lines for these shops were about 10-15 mins, forbidden jouney was 90 mins so the early entry makes a big difference.
We came out of HP and did rest of park then tried getting back in to HP for lunch at 11am, no chance, 50 mins just to get in, line almost to Jurassic park river adventure, no way would I line up to get in, its crazy.
Karen had read up on HP world for months, we decides to go for the peppermint toads instead of choc frogs after what others had said, I am not a choc fan but even I really like them, very nice smooth dark choc.
Cost of stuff in there is mad but stuff is flying off the shelves. We spent $30 in Honeydukes on next to nothing.
I like a bit of afternoon rain but none yet.
Great update and food photos
Off to look at the HP photos. Interested in hearing whether you think FOTL and hotel booking is worth it. I know you gave us all the heads-up about the pricing glitch
What did you think of the pumpkin juice ?
Yesterday, yes FOTL was worth it, Spider & hulk about 1 hour each so worked well, plus we got in early for HP but we don't usually do Uni/IOA so early in August, later in August we have not needed FOTL before so might call up in a few weeks and see if the crowds are back to usual lows.
We also do single rider a lot, staying onsite means we get to ride things together more.
Pumpkin juice was not a hit. little bottle cost $6-7 and it didn't go down well, on the other hand frozen Butterbeer at around $3.25(although we paid almost $11 in souvenir mug) was a hit with us all. I also liked the Hogs head brew at $6.50.
Went in pool yesterday afternoon, a few spare beds but still very busy, water too warm for us we like a cooler pool.
Into Universal today.
Captured some good ones there, is it still crazy busy? I was quite sad we missed out on seeing it all properly. Something for next time though I guess
