Well WB is apparently letting the package guests into the land tomorrow, lol. I do hope we get to ride Gringotts, at least somewhat.

That and it's not based on any existing IP, it's a bit like the lost contient where it is a mixture of many different styles blended together well.
Duh moment once again. Where is the queue for Diagon Alley and the wall? Is Kings Cross supposed to be it? Are there stanchion holes in the sidewalk outside the bookstore?

There are several entrances to Diagon from London, but the one with the bricks is next to Leicester Square, which, unfortunately, is not the one I used.
It's actually a letter with an embossed stamp, can't be reproduced easily. I guess I should have put a second person on my package so I could get other people in easily, wasn't thinking.
Let's talk about softs, shall we?
This week you will see the best chance of it, however it all depends on Gringotts. If that's a no-go, the whole area is a no-go. The vacation package people live by those same rules. Either way, I recommend not waiting in front of the Diagon barrier gates, but instead enjoy a nice, cold Duff under the shade at Duff Gardens. If you see movement, make your trek that way.

I recommend Duff Lite. You may be pounding brews for a while if you get there early and insist on waiting. :thumbs:

I'll be out there tonight, I plan on watching some of the US world cup match over at Finnegans before heading toward the waterfront area around 6-6:30pm. Is there any updated word on tonight's possibility for softs after the vacation package time window?
Reports saying that TM's are not allowing guests to stand around in front of London for [HASHTAG]#Potterwatch[/HASHTAG].
If you're going, enjoy the park from elsewhere and keep tabs to Twitter and the forums if it does open.

I know we're supposed to be patient and we have one week till the grand opening, but this lack of softs for AP's and others is driving me nuts!
I was in Hogsmeade weeks before the grand opening back in 2010 and figured we'd have the same type of softs for Diagon. Guess not.

I think a lot of reasons softs arent happening, is because they are despertly trying to fix the ride issues before teh grand opening. Letting people in just takes away time to try and solve this problem. Once the ride can cycle for more then 30 mins without breaking down I would supsect to see more soft openings.
