Need quick refresher on US/IOA - Potter Tips!

[scottmel]

Hello we were there for the grand opening of WWOHP Part 1 several years back and have made it back a few times since. Just missed the grand opening of WWOHP Part 2 few summers back.

We are doing what we always do - staying at RPC for FOTLA and I will only be staying one night. Can someone give me a quick refresh on how to handle touring since the new potter opened? I assume no FOTLA for ANY Potter rides. What about the hogwarts express - can I still ride that? How do you best work that into a plan?

We are there the monday and tuesday AFTER easter. March 26th I think? THanks for any tips!

You need park to park tickets to ride the Hogwarts Express.

No EP for Forbidden Journey, Gringotts or HE.

As for touring plans take advantage of EE and make the best of it. Make sure you take the train both ways as it has a different view both ways.

Parks tend to get quieter nearer closing.

Thx yep I have park hoppers. Is the hog warts express a long line to ride ? Are they only allowing it once per day? Are any of the new restaurants any good for lunch inside the new potter area?

HE starts around 9 each morning and makes continuous runs throughout the time the parks are open.
lines vary, sometimes lengthy waits, sometimes not.

Also, they never needed to limit Hogwart Express rides to once per day. There was talk shortly before opening about that possibility but the capacity ended up being even better than projected.
