?'s about on-site hotel, Express Pass, and WWoHP

[Deb in IA]

OK, I THINK I got it, but I just want to make sure . . .

We are checking into Royal Pacific Hotel August 6 to 9.

As hotel guests, we get Express Pass to many of the rides in IOA/US, BUT Forbidden Journey does NOT have Express Pass, is that correct?

How about Dragon Challenge and Flight of the Hippogriff? I know that the old Dueling Dragons had Express Pass.

But on-site guests are allowed into the parks one hour before the general crowd, right? And THAT does include WWoHP, right?

Thanks for any help!

No Express for FJ, but you do get express for DC and FotH.

You will be allowed entry into IOA (to include WWoHP) one hour before the general public.

I know! I had a craving for butterbeer today at work and I haven't even been to the darn park yet!! Just reading all the posts on here has made me so excited!!

My friend and I have breakfast reservations at 3 Broomsticks at 0930 8/11/10! Gonna spend a day on Sunday at Sea World, hopefully we can catch the free hotel shuttle to Sea World, then Monday 8/9 waking up early and getting to IOA around 7am just in case they open extra early for onsite guests. The next day, Tuesday, sleeping in a little, then doing Universal Studios and since we got the park hopper tickets, going back to Harry Potter that evening, followed by the third and last day at Harry Potter again! ha!

We can't wait for this!!! I am loading up on Ravenclaw merchandise! I already ordered some stuff from the Universal Online store because I knew it wouldn't all fit in my suitcase on the way home.

We have just done 2 nights at RPR and got the early entry - some days you get in from 7.15 others, like today was 8am - but this is just into the WWOHP area as you will get into the park early. Our advise would be to head for FJ first - on Monday & Tuesday we got thru really quickly. Olivanders is the other main attraction to head for on one of your other days as there is no express pass - it's a great experience & our two kids got selected by Olivander

If is fabulous and you'll have a great time.

Good info! And we too will be at the RPR From Aug 4th-8th! Maybe we should shoot for a mini meet?

We have reservations for breakfast at 9 am at Three Broomsticks on August 7!!

My plan is to get to the gate at 7:30 that day, ride FJ and maybe DC or FotH before breakfast, if we have time. Hope it works!!
