[NashvilleTrio]

i've checked with universal. i have checked with Lowes, i have checked with the man that drives a water taxi ALL hotel guests get into the world at 8Am every day till june 18th. for 1 hour only. so im def buying a hotel that i wont be sleeping in! you can have 5 guests per room. and i would def take anybody in with me that i can any crazed Harry Potter fans! like myself. Send me a pm and ill get this thing booked

Sounds like a better alternative to screaming at customer service. Keep in mind that the hotel will charge an additional fee for the 3rd, 4th and 5th adult in the room/on the reservation. Normally between $15-$25 per adult per night.

I see the kitty, right at the base of Hermione's dress!!! He escaped! Ofcourse, he had to have a transfiguration spell cast on him by one very sly wizard... but hey.

Oh yeah, I remember that clue so that is the famous kitty

How much is that scarf?! I needs one of those!!!!

I love Hermione's Yule Ball dress! So pretty! And I'm going to look for the transfigured kitty Teebin.

Oh yeah, made of a sewing tape measure. I didn't put it together until now. Very Clever

He has Pumkin Juice too!! I see the bottle top. So was the scarf $50 or no price mentioned?

That I do. The scarf wasn't $50, I'm not sure if I can say it's price to be honest. I figured I could talk to a degree since it's open to guest now but I'll let a guest talk prices if they want to. I said $50 because you are going to want merch item from your favorite house, Pumpkin Juice, Butter Beer, Chocolate Frogs, Every Flavored Beans, etc.

 

[honeybee8200]

Ok, so far I need a lanyard, scarf, pumpkin juice, wand, candy.......

 

[Bryan]

what's it say on the door, out something?

 

[honeybee8200]

Oh honey, you're so cute! I'm going to need a LOT more then $50. I'm talking more in the multiple hundreds I will be spending there. And now that guests have entered, prices are fine to tell.

Called the ANNUAL PASS line. It seemed that they were very flustered and didn't have a good answer yet. I let them know that there was a lot of us disappointed and we'd would like a solution asap. I think we all should be calling them over and over again. Guest Services had a canned response but the Annual Pass line didn't. We need to make them aware. Call 866 PASS-4-FUN. I chose option 5 because there wasn't a representative line.

Passholder previews have not yet been announced. The current previews are for package holders and on-site guests only.

Any further soft openings are not announced prior by Universal.

Are you all new to the theme park biz?

Thanks. I assure you it's nothing short of easy to drop a couple $100's at Wizarding World. Especially if you want some of the more pricey items like a full uniform set, broomstick or more than one wand.

That Ollivander's video is so cool!!! I don't care if I get picked, I hope my kids do, but if not just seeing that will be awesome.

Yes but for how long. You get in at 8:00 am and then thrown out at 10am??? I looked last night and the lowest I could get a room was 250 for me and my son. (I don't live in FL or have AP) At $125 per hour thats one expensive ride that you may not even get on.

You will get your AP pass view, when FJ is more reliable, I think Universal is just getting pushed along by the package holders commitment...they are doing what they can, if they had a choice FJ would not yet be open, look at the facts, two days limited opening on FJ and has it lasted over an hour open b4 breakdowns!!

 

[honeybee8200]

I'm contemplating a robe but I may hold off on that and make one myself if push comes to shove. It would be very easy for me to spend hundreds just on the smaller stuff, not just brooms, chess sets, etc.

Ah, Universal is using previews as an incentive to increase hotel room sales. Interesting. Let's see if this is their true intentions and how they "ease" The Wizarding World" into opening.

Who is saying it broke down....
Maybe they found something they really liked to change during TM preview.
And Briman informed us about "unexpected" crowds at FJ today, while Universal only wanted to show it to Virgin Employees.
