The others were still in line.
Maybe I stand corrected… this could be the most boring line ever.
Eventually Grumpy decided to come join us, the crazy line got to him. But Panic, Greg and DH soldiered on. I thought about joining them, I did. But every time I ventured out of our little spot I was just smacked with people. I just couldn’t handle it. So instead, we headed over to the Hogs Head and got a butter beer!
Meanwhile – they were still waiting.
Yep, still waiting.
It had been over an hour and they weren’t even in the castle yet.
The sign said 60 minutes – LIES! Since they had already been in the line for over an hour!
Their comment was that the lockers need to be marked better.
They all came back with notes on how to improve this process –it was just a hot mess.
Meanwhile, we had more Pumpkin juice!
They finally made it into Hogwarts.
Sorting hat!
and lots of people.
Apparently DH was really fascinated by the hat.
Luckily Panic had a stroke of genius and they hoppped into the single rider line - it cut their wait time in 1/2. And there wait time was close to 3 hrs - so just imagine.
Meanwhile….. I played solitare….
Finally, they rejoined is and we got some more butter beer. Panic learned a valuable lesson…. DO NOT STIR YOUR BUTTER BEER. Just don’t do it.
Eventually, we bid farewell to Harry Potter world and our 6 million new friends.
After fighting all those crowds we were just done, so we headed back to the car.
Our verdict. It was fun, but we’re probably okay for the next 10 years. The crowds were just outrageous they could have done a lot to help the situation, but as it was it was uncomfortable and not fun.
So we headed to Downtown Disney!
Specifically, Fultons. We didn’t have an ADR, but we were seated right away.
Panic, Greg and Grumpy split the seafood tower. Queenie, DH and I split crab claws, the mussles/clams and conch fritters. We were so hungry and tired we forgot pictures. Sorry!
It was quite good as always. Fultons ranks up there with Kona as a trusty standby that never disappoints. Mmmm.. I want some Fulton’s now.
After dinner we were all just spent so we headed back to the room to play some Epic Mickey and catch some zzzzzz.
