Wizarding World of Harry Potter opens today

[WaltD4Me]

There is a live stream you can watch from Universal. Live stream starts at 9am.

I'm watching the Today show and following Orlando Attractions magazine on Twitter, they have posted some CRAZY crowd pictures. I wouldn't want to be there today for anything!

Stay safe, Aaron & family! Remember to drink lots of water!

Live feed is running. They have the gate to WWofHP covered. Just people waiting and milling around right now, it's 9am where is the opening?

 

[WaltD4Me]

9:05, nothing yet. It must be really hot already. Everyone in the live feed is fanning themselves like crazy.

I believe the rope drop for WWoHP is 10:30 AM

In my world - 9 means 9.


See some folks who won't fit....

Their Live feed said Grand Opening 9am. I think they are having audio problems. I can hear Daniel Radcliff but it keeps cutting out.

Ah, OK. I was just going off of what they said on the podcast this week.

the live feed will begin shortly .... perhaps 1 and half hour is their term for "shortly"

 

[dmccarty]

I can't see anything on the feed at http://www.grandopeningwebevent.com/ other than the feed will begin shortly. My guess is that they have reached a limit on how many feeds they can serve.

Later,
Dan

The WFTV feed works great, thanks!

Found this link, http://www.wftv.com/video/23945574/index.html. Looks like they just fired some fireworks and are taking group photos.

The first link is working now. ..

It looks like they let in a small group first?

Later,
Dan

Tweets from the Leaky Cauldron (yes, I am one of those crazy Potter fans - and proud of it!) say that WWoHP is now open and it is snowing in Hogsmeade.

Open to contest winners only at this point. GP is still standing behind the rope.

Well. That was anti-climatic. I was watching the WFTV feed because I couldn't get on Universal's feed. They dropped the curtain that was over the gate. The stars from the movies came out. They set off a smoky firework, then the stars lead in the kids from the Today show class. They didn't even show the opening on Today, just showed them in there after everyone was being let in. Humph. I expected more of a ceremony. And I really thought JK Rowling would cut the ribbon or whatever.

Me too!

Mugglenet is tweeting that if you are in the line by Toon Lagoon the wait to get in from there is 4-6 hours!
