USF/Gringotts arrival strategy

[AthenaBolina]

Sorry if this has been asked, I can't seem to find it in my search function.

We're arrive next week Monday, but we won't make early entry as the night before we'll be at another hotel. We plan to eat breakfast at the embassy, and get to USF by 8am hopefully. We do want to head directly to the park as soon as we have our express passes (staying at RPR).

Is it worth it for us to try get on Gringotts if we can't get there first thing? How do we even get there if we won't take the HE first?

Embassy starts serving breakfast at 6:30. I won't be able to convince them to skip it, they live for the breakfasts there , so it's going to happen regardless. Maybe we can get to USF earlier, but I'm not sure. I want to get to RPR asap so we can get to the parks asap.

All this trouble for all you can eat bacon and an omelette station. Haha

I'd hold off and ride other stuff when you get there. Gringott's seems to get less busy later in the day. You might catch a 20 minute wait around 6 or 7 pm. And for some reason, the line seems to go much faster there than the posted wait time.

I would ride gringotts later in the day. You can still had to the he alley and ride hog warts express and browse or just enjoy other areas with your express pass.

I went to gringotts around noon on a Monday in July. It was only roughly 30 minutes. Maybe even less.
Which was surprising. I kept checking the wait times in an app throughout the day, and it fluctuated between 30 and 70 minutes. It really varies a lot.

We're here and finally got to USO around 8:30am. We left our hotel on intl drive around 7:30 or so. We went straight to Gringotts, and basically walked on, from the time we got into the building it took about 15 min to get on the ride. We were constantly moving too.

i just love it when we have peeps that post to us while on vacation.
it's like having our own reporters on the spot!

i hope both of the families have a fantastic time.

and if you have questions on something in the park, come here to ask.
always someone around that can help you out.

I did forget to mention, when we checked out of the embassy, we headed straight to RPR. Took barely anytime at all to get our express passes, one room was already ready, but we headed straight to the park instead of putting in luggage.

We do love it here! We also got a renovated room in tower one. Yaaay for a fridge!
