Question about my plan

[the kids]

We are staying on property so will have early entry and express pass.
The days we are going to the parks early entry will be starting at 7 am.
So planning to enter IOA hopefully at 7 am. We will head straight to ride Forbidden Journey. Then was planning to take kids ages 10 and 8 to Olivanders. Should we then ride HE to US when that park opens at 8, to ride Gringotts? Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

that plan could work.

but remember many others will be in that line for HE too.....

if riding both FJ and Gringotts in the morning is your main goal, you can swing it.

it is good to do the rides that don't have express when you go in crowded time periods.
you have the express pass for other places in the park you can use when lines get long.
(especially if those rides have express lanes)

Hi, I am sorry, just a little confused by your response. Do you think there will be a long line for Hogmeades Express? Is it best to ride the popular HP rided in both parks first thing in the morning? Should we just focus on one park at a time? Sorry this in my first trip to Universal and Islands of Adventure, so trying to figure everything out.
