Wizarding world early admission without staying onsite?

[Keriludwig21]

I have been searching the internet like crazy trying to find out if there is a way to get early admission to the park? (more specific the three broomsticks)
All I have found so far is the early admission with staying on site at universal.
I am however not staying at one of the onsite resorts and would like to know if its at all possible to do so then?
Any help or suggestions ? Thanks!

Not that I'm aware of. I believe a couple of partner hotels have the EE benefit. I've never stayed offsite so I can't say for sure which hotels and if they still do.

You have to book a *package* with a partner hotel to get it.

That's a restaurant.

Why do you want to be there extra early? Anyone can have breakfast there as long as you're there at breakfast time. (Switchover to lunch in our experience is 10:30)

You don't really need EE to eat breakfast in the 3B's...........as Bumbershoot said breakfast is available till 10.30 and you will get a seat.

But unless you stay onsite or one of the partner hotels that offer a package, there's no way to get in early.

US had early entry for resort guests every day that I was there. I was let into the park early but held just outside the turnstiles till around 8:45. I opted to go on Minions, followed by Rip Ride Rockit, Revenge of the Mummy and Hogwart's Express. All were walk ons. I returned to US later in the day. At 2:15(ish) PM Gringotts had a 45 minute posted wait. I used the single rider line and was out in 20, including the ride and plenty of time spent taking pix. I believe the wait was a bit shorter later in the afternoon.

Personally, if not eligible for EE I would do Minions first thing and save Potterland for the late afternoon/evening. I don't think the wait for Minions ever dropped below an hour from thirty minutes or so after general admission opening.
