that's right for opening time.
(i have not checked the calendar hours for your dates.)
you said the park opens at 8:00.
yup, early entry will be at 7:00.
don't be surprised if you only see about 25 people in line at 6:30 am on the 20th.
but, with you going right before the crowds really build, you should be fine on the 20th. if that line has many peeps in it, prepare to get up early for the rest of your days if you want more potter time.
i would expect more crowds starting on friday the 24th.
it is kind of difficult to predict right now.
it usually has tremendous crowds once it is the 25th throughout the rest of the month.
do potter, go back and hit the Grinch.
you'll like it!
on the other days you are staying onsite, and if you are done with potter, enter the park at 7:50 and plan to do other things at ioa.
i really enjoyed Sinbad show.
a combination of a story line, acrobates and action.
i took a pass on it for years due to hearing bad vibes about the show and finally started seeing it about 5 years ago.
sit at the right side of the center, next to the platform.
sit where you are about even with that platform.
you will see more of the action that is preformed on the platform then.
make sure you can see the entire stage up front as the action will travel throughout the show.
it is possible that Sinbad could be going bye-bye in the future.
Poisendon is worth seeing at least once.
i usually only do that show about once every 4 years.
if the vortex has the water running, it make it add to the show for me.
put the Mystic Fountain in your plans.
if there are kids or teens around the fountain when you are there, sit on the side wall and watch, listen and enjoy.
