The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Is there a twelve-step program for this WWOHP news addiction that I have developed?

I hearby open this meeting of Potterholicis Anonymous.

God grant us the serenity to accept the grand opening dates we can not change, the courage to ride the rides we can, and the wisdom to refrain from hitting the complaining muggles on this board, or in the queues, who try to ruin all our fun.

Hi, I'm MTL and I'm a Potterholic.

Me too!

Me three!!! ... (my hubby not so much)

Hi, I'm MTL and I'm a Potterholic.



I think I need a 12-step program. I was shaking when I read the insider reports on Mugglenet and Leaky Cauldron and when I watched Ellen. If that's not addict behaviour.... This place can't open up fast enough for me. It's the first thing I do every morning, and when I get home from work, check for updates on the park.

I prolly wont ride anything "THRILLY" but I am definately in need of your program as I am in awe of all the pix so far and am likely to HIT any unPotterlike guest in line !!!
So I am ER and I too am a Pottrholic !!!!!

I second that emotion!! We are going to WDW the week before Memorial Day and it is all I can do not to set aside a day for WWOHP. Since we are not staying at Universal, we would not be able to have the full experience so we are delaying that trip for when we go back after Thanksgiving when everything is open. Our 22yo daughter is going with us in May and is upset we will not visit WWOHP. Don't tell her that when just the wife and I return in December, that we will grab our broomsticks and fly to WWOHP!!! Am I a bad parent?

Nope, not a bad parent but a SMART Harry Potterer! If you don't take her that is one less guest in line

I need that 12 step program too

May God grant you ALL entrance to WWOHP when you're there!

Hysterical MTL!

it!

I'm czycropper and I'm a Potterholic - there I've said it, boy it feels good

I've off the boards for the last 3 weeks since we were away on our trip to the Galapagos and can I say how hard it was NOT to log onto this board to check the progress but since we had to buy the satellite internet minutes my DH forbade me to use them other than checking my e-mail It has taken me most of the weekend to get caught up!

 

[universalfan]

Okay, fellow addicts. Someone at ORLANDOUNITED.COM posted that the lock is off the construction gate to WWOHP. Does this mean anything? Maybe they're in there doing TM testing and are legally obligated to leave that gate unlocked for safety reasons. Maybe some poor chap forgot to put it back on and he's going to be fired because I helped spread the rumor.

I hope it's the first one. Keep your eye on twitter. If there are soft openings it will show up there first.

GALAPAGOS? How cool! As psyched as everyone is about WWOHP, I would not have wanted to miss a minute of that trip to chek on the boards...must have been amazing.

Hi .. I'm cielei and I too have this addiction.
One question though .... Can I hit the complaining muggles if I use the spell to make them forget that I did? Pretty please .... with sugar on top!

I have been informed that I have mommy powers which are not magic and can only make ouchies feel better. This is not "real magic". I guess that means I have to be good and follow rule #4 No hitting, pinching or biting.

Hmmmmmm OK!!!!

First will bludgeon them with the Quaffles and Beater's bats we can buy at Dervish and Banges (which by the way, when I saw in the Ellen clip that we could buy those too, I was already plotting where I could beg, borrow, or steal (um, did I say steal? I meant borrow.) the money to buy them - addict). Or we can hit them with a Sectumsempra. Then we'll Stupefy them so they can't run off and tell on us. Then we'll Reparo their heads, and if that doesn't work we'll Portkey them to St. Mungos for healing. Then we'll Obliviate them and pretend nothing was different than before the beating. But before we Rennervate them, we'll place a certain Potter Puppet Pal song in their heads that they'll be singing all around the parks, (Snape, Snape, Severus Snape).

If you did NOT understand anything I just said....you are not a Potterholic.

This is so funny! I am a potterholic! As a matter of fact, I fessed up to my son last week! Told him I was worried I was going over the top in dorkdom!

His response: "Geez Mom, it's not like you're cooking meth in the basement! No one is getting hurt, don't worry about it!"

Understood every word. So I guess that makes me a Potterholic also. My name is Thumper_Man and I to an a Potterholic. Whew!. Now that I got that off my chest, I can start the road to recovery. Or at least to the WW0HP.

I think the best spell to hit them all with would be the Petrificus Totalus spell. This way we don't have to hear them complaining, and we can make our way through the lines faster. Just make sure to do it before they get in line. We don't want them blocking the way.

Look, no lock. It's almost like you could walk right up and take a peek. Posted by Mookie at www.orlandounited.com. If this link does not work, I am hoping that the master of picture capturers (Don Pacho) will help. BTW Don, thank you for all of the many glimpses into WWOHP you have posted here. Every time I see that the latest post is from you, I get all

Hopefully we'll hear some good news soon.

If they begin soft openings where will they be letting guests in at, I don't know where the entrance is located, but I would at least want to wander by there a time or two on our visit hoping to get lucky!

If there is a soft opening while you're there, you'll find out pretty quickly where the entrance is.
