The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hollywood

[Chris]

The performance times are listed in the app for UOR, so I have no idea why they're not listed in ours.

UOR also posts Ollivander's as a show and USH app has it as a ride!!! LOL Bwahahahahaha! SMH to USH!!!

Not sure how that relates to Potter :tease:

When I was at the park last thursday, I was able to catch BOTH Frog Choir & Tri-Wiz.... yay for good timing & luck. Sooo.... here, have like 4 action pics..

And just for the hell of it... Snapchat filter ftw

When I was at guest relations yesterday, they asked me if I had tried the scavenger hunt in Hogsmeade. Apparently starting last week, they are now doing a scavenger hunt on Fridays at 1pm (meet near the Hogswart Express).

Based on that very limited time frame, I'm imagining this is a pilot program. Anyone tried it? I already requested they do it on a weekend, because I work Friday afternoons!

It seems more of finding photo areas around the Hogsmeade area, at-least; as far as I understand.

There was a pass member email sent out a few weeks ago. Is this it?

Good Lord, I hope not. Although I supposed it could be.

I was told there was something specific handed out at 1pm on Fridays. But for all I know, it may be a hard copy of that flyer. :/

The park closes so early! 7:00pm on Saturday? The crowds tonight to get into Hogwarts to see the light show was insane! Big credit to the staff who were trying their best to manage the crowd flow in that area.

Most likely a big company rented the park out. It happens quite often. It happened last Saturday as well.

It happens often here in Orlando too. Too often imo. This is another example of something @JungleSkip often mentions - Universal running their parks like regional parks.

You'd think a that someone like Universal shouldn't have to rent out as often and they don't. They don't HAVE to. They aren't struggling for money. It's an extra profit center, but it comes at the expense of the paying day guest. Just this Friday in Orlando they had about three separate events being held (multiple different areas being rented by different companies).

They want it both ways, but with their growing attendance, especially at a small park like USH, it's becoming harder and harder for them to continue to justify doing, imo.

They're two-timing all of us (don’t think it was three times, can’t be more than fours times...).

Dec 1 it was Access Hollywood. Dec 8 it was... saw the sign, can't remember. Why did I even post?

Shouldn’t Saturday be off limits for company parties? Especially in December.

 

[Rideguy70]

Disneyland itself rents itself out for corporate and private events with a fair amount of regularity. All those Grad Nites are private parties that are technically at the expense of the daytime guest. Same with their newer Disneyland After Dark series. And yes, many do happen on Saturdays.

December 1 was EY, a global shipping and trade logistics company. But there was a private party confined to WWoHP which may have been Access Hollywood.

There is a 240min wait for Forbidden Journey right now.:afraid: Sounds like a great day to visit!

Outside of Potter, it’s not actually very crowded on the streets! Grinchmas is still rather calm.

Goes to kind-of show how popular Potter is still for Hollywood; if that's still getting the longest waits of the park.
