Just returned from WWoHP & RPR

[saints41]

Hi all. We just got back from a 4 day stay at RPR club level and WWoHP. All we can say about the FJ ride is WOW! It truly is state of the art and one of the best themed rides we have ever gone on. The on site early entry crowd was lined up through Seuss Landing and the Lost Continent before rope drop. we were in Hogsmead at 8:15am. The outside early entry crowd ( and is was huge) was lined up through super Hero Island, Toon Lagoon. The line was held right pass the JP River Adventure. This group was let into the back bridge gate (near the FJ ride). I was told by someone in that line that they had a 2 hour wait from the JP RA ride to get through FJ. Hogsmead is packed. The total area is small and was at max each of our visits. By the time we walked through Hogsmead's gate and got to the wand shop there was already a 2 1/2 hour wait. The wand shop exits into a gift shop no bigger than 2 RPR guest rooms. There are waiting lines to get into all of the shops. The good news is they sell some (not all) of the wands at a cart exiting FJ. The butterbeer line moves pretty fast and it tasted good (like a cream soda with a butterscotch marshmellow topping). The other ride lines moved quickly. Now a little note about the size issue on FJ. I did see a guest not fitting in the ride but in defense of the TM running the ride they tried their best to make it work for the guest. There is a trial seat outside the ride and another right before the sorting hat. I am 6' 255 and my daughter is 5' 8" and a little heavy, we both made it on without a problem. A Tip: don't have anything in you pockets and you have to slide you rear into the seat to help the bar come down. A belt pouch would not be a good idea if a person was a little heavy as there is not much room to move it around. We did not eat at Three Broomsticks ( no Breakfast package) but the lunch wait line looked long. With all of the crowd at IOA, US was the place to be. We had no wait time with our express pass ( hotel key). Good luck to all making the trip.

Amazing how people see things so differently! That's the great thing about have so many choices in Orlando.

Thanks for your post. I already suspect that we'll spend much more time in the Studios this time.
