One day trip, arrive mid- late morning

[okeydokey]

I am chaperoning a field trip tomorrow, march 15. We are due to arrive about 10:30 and have passes to both parks. Will WWHP be worth it at all, or will it be too packed to even try.

I have a group of 8th graders with me who want to try it out. Any thoughts?

are you arriving at the drop off section at 10:30 or will you be in the park at that time?
the later of your arrival to the back of ioa, the more peeps you will find there.


once it is 11ish (before or after), you will see crowds in parry hotter - ville.



hopefully, you will have a full day of fun with the kids in both parks.

have them use the single rider lines when possible.


good luck and have fun!
i teach school.

field trips keep the adults ........busy.......

I assume we will be dropped off at the gates so that saves parking time. We will do Harry first, them dueling dragons and then play it by ear I think.

Also need to squeeze a meal in too. And souvenir shopping. I think we will do about a third of what we would like, but it's better than a day in Middle School,right?

if you are dropped off at 10:30, it will probably take the group a good 15 minutes to reach parry hotter.

gotta think about crowds and keeping your group of kids together.


did your school group go thru universal for the tickets?
group rate is possible with food vouchers.

if that is not the case, i would go for a counter service that has indoor and not outdoor seating so you can count noses.

if you are at the studio side, Louie's and IFFF have good choices.
both have seats inside and a restroom nearby.

IFFF has tv's with shows playing all day long.


if you eat at ioa, thunder terrace also has a nice set up inside and a good choice of food.

try for the rides that has the single rider line so you have less line waits.
save those long waits for the rides you must do such as forbidden journey.


yes, by all means.
a day in the park is much better than sitting in a classroom.

have the kids give you their cell numbers so if one lags behind or gets misplaced, you can call them.
