Once WWOHP opens onsite guests can enter 1 hour early!

[Rags]

I just got off the phone with a Universal rep. She assured me that the only guest getting into WWOHP an hour early are those who booked Harry Potter packages. It does not matter if you are staying on-site or in a preferred hotel. You might get into IOA early but no Harry unless you booked that package. I thought I would post. We were going to stay on-site but purchase our tix through AAA but now I will just pay the extra for the Harry package. Not taking the chance, especially July 4th week.

I guess it is all in who you talk to. I spoke to a Universal rep on Monday (I booked my package in Jan before promo) and she stated that WWOHP is included for my package in regards to early entry and the one time express pass. I hope she is right!!!!

Ok...I just booked a "harry potter package" for 4 nights - that includes breakfast at the 3 Broomsticks. So is the the "HP package" that people are saying definitely does get in 1 hour early to the HP attraction?

Another report about early entry detailed elswhere:

phone call received from Universal following an email question - told there will be no early entry to WWHP for onsite guests unless they have booked the HP package. Also that there will be no FOTL (not even once) when WWHP first opens...

I believe we have now heard every permutation possible.

I'm not sure about early entry, but when talking with an onsite hotel service person, they said when you stay onsite each person gets one pass for each day FOTL for Harry Potter. That was a few weeks ago.

I have stayed onsite and gotten early entry but the catch to that is most rides aren't even open yet and would think that would apply to WWOHP also

I called Universal about the HP package I booked this morning and asked and they said that we could get in an hour early and that "everything" would be open but there was no "express pass" or whatever we call it - the type that comes with your room if you stay onsite at one of the Universal hotels.

Well, even being able to walk around a less crowded Hogsmeade for an hour would be fine with me. Early entry to FJ would be awesome, but if it's not available that's ok, especially if we at least have one FOTL each day. Or we can always wait with the inevitable mob by the entrance to the line, to get in as early as possible.

I just got off of the phone to check about my pin code. The best rate I could get for HRH 5/31-6/4 was $195. I'll keep my aph rate of $144. She said she had a memo on her desk that states all onsite guests will get in 1 hour early starting 3rd week of May. And will get a 1 time express pass for Forbidden Journey.

Woo Hoo!!! We booked long before WWHOP package was available and I was hoping that would be the case!

Thank you!

I wonder if that means 1 time per day or just one time. I mean if you are staying 5 nights and one get a one time pass per guest that would kind of be a bummer. But hey, to be honest that is still more than I would have expected, especially if we get early entry as well.
