How much time to budget for WOHP?

[vinotinto]

Here is the scenario: 2 adults with 2 young kids (3,6), staying on-site (PBH) during Memorial Day weekend . Plan to be at the IOA gate at 7:45 am and enter WOHP at 8:00 am. First, go to Olivander, then do the FJ queau, (do baby swap), then Hippogriff, and walk around WOHP. How long will that take? We want to have an early lunch at Three Broomsticks. Is there enough at WOHP to tie us until 10:45 am, or should we leave to Seuss and come back? And if we leave to go to Seuss, will we be allowed back into the WOHP, or will we be given a time slot to return later in the day (effectively cancelling our plan to have lunch at the 3 Broomsticks)?

I have no idea, but I'm going to be there the same weekend staying at RPR. We are going to use the early entry a couple of times.

Cool Maybe we'll see you at the line. We leave the same day (we'll be there Saturday through Tuesday).

Depends on how many other early entry people are in front of you when you get there at 7:45... but odds are, you'll be done with all that well before 10:45. With early entry, I did everything multiple times and had breakfast by 9:30.

Really hard to tell.
The Holidays like Memorial day and around there will probably be very busy.
It's still uncharted territory since it's so new and there isn't really a measuring stick for THIS Holiday yet.

We will be there at the same time also arrive Friday 5/27-6/3. We are getting up early and heading over also. Maybe we will be in line together....

We were at HP last Sunday and I would recommend getting to the gate before 7:45. I think 7:30 would be better since Memorial day weekend is likely to be busy and they may let folks in earlier than 8. We were let in a little earlier and were walking through the FJ que at 8. Also the day we were there, 3 broomsticks started serving lunch at 10 which was perfect. We did everything at a leisurely pace in HP (we didn't do the wand show though), went to Poseidon attraction and returned at 10:05 for an early lunch - we hadn't eaten breakfast and wanted 3 broomsticks lunch food rather than breakfast. I would ask at the 3 Broomsticks what time lunch starts as it seems to vary from day to day. If, like us, you feel the need to leave to do a ride before returning for lunch, ask at the HP entrance/exit if you will be able to return in 30 - 40 minutes. There are several cms there keeping an eye on how full it is getting and they should be able to estimate when it will reach capacity.

Four Hours.

Seriously. I went with friends recently, got to the IOA gate before 9am (apx 850), went straight to WWOHP, and did all we wanted. We left the area around 1pm.
