How long to spend in WWoHP??

[klacey1]

We're heading to WWoHP this August (the 28th, a Sunday) and will arrive about 45 minutes before the 9:00 a.m. opening (Mears shuttle from WDW resort). If we plan to ride the FJ, browse through the shops, ride Flight of the Hippogriff, and have lunch at Three Broomsticks (NO Ollivanders), how long do you think we'll spend in WWoHP?? We plan to ride one or two more rides in IOA before hopping over to the Studios for the rest of the day. We'll probably go back to WWoHP around 6:00 (IOA closes at 8) to repeat some of what we did in the morning.

Not sure if that was too much info, but basically, I'd like to know how much time it would take to do FJ/shops/lunch/Hippo if we enter the park at 9:00. What time, theoretically, would we leave WWoHP? TIA!!

I think you'd be done with WWoHP, including lunch at 3B, by noon. The crowds in late August should be fairly reasonable.

I think that you will be done around 1:00. It takes awhile just to walk around in Hogsmeade, it is so crowded!

By the way, we had a great experience on a Sun. night in March.
FJ only had a 30 min. wait
O- 5 min wait,
The shops had no lines
DC and FotH were walk ons!
And that was during Spring Break!

Hope you have the same luck!

I was thinking noon-12:30 myself. If the stores are too crowded, I figured we could hit them in the evening. Thanks!
