Newbe to US/IOA-quick question. RE: 3 broomsticks breakfast

[geoffgill80]

Going Late Aug 2013. 4 days at HRH then 7 days at Beach Club. 4 of us total, me, My wife and 2 daughters 16, 14. We are WDW veterans but my daughters have never been to US/IOA and its been around 18yrs since my wife and I have been there.

Apparently when we booked our trip we also recieved "free" breakfast at 3 broomsticks. The TA booked us for 9:00 am. is this a good time?

reason i ask is that i know that we get into HP world an hour early as a perk. We will definately take advantage of that. i am just thinking that wouldnt a 9:30 or 10am breakfast be better? that way we can get alot in early and be eating when the lines are really starting to form...

thanks for any responses!!!

Make sure that your breakfast time is not during your early admisssion. I would definitely give yourselves an extra half an hour after early admission is over for your reservations. You may have a long line at Ollivanders and you don't want to have to line up for that during regular hours.

better to have that ressie for 9:30-45.

by the time the general public is let into the park, parry hotter section will start having waits.

you can usually be ahead of park crowds and done with that section by 9:30 at the latest.


if you shop, have your purchases sent to the front merch store to be held for you.
no need to have to carry around bags with you all day and have to use lockers for some of the rides.
you can pick up your items when you leave the park that day.


onsite hotel guest also can use this holding service or have the purchases delivered to their room.
if you go that route, the package delivery will be by noon the next day.
