WWofHP tips/secrets

[hpfan100]

Hey everyone...not sure if this posted elsewhere but here goes.
I thought we could start a thread of tips/secrets to share with rest of the muggles to help each other with our magical journeys. I'll start!

Butterbeer-
there are 4 different places to get butterbeer
the red wagon in the center (usually has two lines/one per side)
the hog's head pub (next to three broomsticks this location has AC and Hog's Head Ale)
Cart located at entrance near Jurassic park ( I just saw this today)
Server with tray near butterbeer lines and pub ( this is variable and hard to predict)

FJ-
use single rider line if not interested in castle or have already seen it (it is located near lockers) Wait times are extremely low (2-5 minutes)
I feel the outer seats are slightly larger than middle seats (good for taller/broader/heavier people)
no bags in ride but you can take them through the castle (but have someone take them out in common room)
they bring a server with powerades and such around the outside line, keep a few dollars in case you need a drink while you wait, there are trash cans near the ride or ask a worker for help

other rides-
no waits usually so no need for express pass!

Food-
only food is at three broomsticks
bring snacks in bag or pockets to help
buy a treat from Honeydukes and eat away!
fruit cup available at a pumpkin juice cart
ask a worker for re entry pass to get snacks/lunch- ask nicely and smile!!!
leave before lunch and return after 2ish when no barrier is used at Lost Continent/WWofHP intersection


Enjoy!!!

Great tips! Thanks! So once your enter WWoHP you can't re-enter without a re-entry pass? I'm confused
Thanks!

I've only been after 6PM each night this week and haven't had to have any type of entry pass to get into the section.

Also, everytime I've gotten in que for the ride it's had a 90 minute wait. We've waited no longer than 55 minutes in que.

If you enter WWofHP before 1/2 ish there are two entry lines. One is through Suess area and is for on site hotel guests only (maybe vacation packages too but not sure) the other line begins in marvel land and snakes around to HP. Once you get close to HP they pass out paper tickets (just cheapo carnival tickets) You can use one person from your party to be the line holder and get multiple tickets for the whole group. After your wait to get into HP you drink your butterbeer, ride FJ etc. Then if you are ready to leave or check out other things you must exit through the Suess side barrier. They have people in yellow shirts to tell you it is an exit only and no re-entry from that side. you will have to go back to marvel and re line up. This may change as time goes on but that is how it works now.

Sorry for such a long reply

Super! Thanks! Hoping the lines will be a bit calmer come the end of July!!
