The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

Apple Cider is better. I really like that Apple Cidery taste that is in Pumpkin Juice. I was happy to taste more of that in it than actual Pumpkin.

Pumpkin Fizz is good too, it's just very tart. But Pear Cider is reaaaally good. It's like a less sweeter version of Apple Juice, but you can also taste the pear.

I might have to give that a try. I am not much into pear but if it does not take too much away from the other flavors I might try.

LOL how does that help? Now we are just horribly off topic!

 

[Splatter]

How is Wizarding World drinks far off topic? At any rate, anyone know how the wait has been to get into The Wizarding World itself is going? I imagine there is a small wait in comparison to what was there just last week. We know it won't die down to comfortable go in and leave the island at your leisure numbers until post MLK time of Jan but any news on how the wait is now?

I like pear cider the most. but how does pumpkin fizz compare to pumpkin juice?

How is it far off topic to be talking about WWoHP drinks in a WWoHP thread?

 

[Roxy91]

Sorry it sounded like they were discussing their cider preferences! Not that I have a problem with that!

Maybe I should have read it better.

Has this park calmed down to dead yet? Anyone attended this weekend or will be attending this coming week? Please let us know how attendance is!

It's still quite busy over in HP. My friend was over there around 5 or so and it was a 75 min wait for FJ. I went over around 6 and it was at 45 mins. It wasn't wall to wall people but it was close.

Definitely doesn't feel like it's dead season yet, still quite busy at the shows at USF today.

There is no wait to get into the island but when you get into the island, the island is crowded and hard to move FJ is about 75 mins, the rest of the parks rides are about 25 mins exept for hulk 60 mins spiderman 55 doom 50. I hope it will be empty by maybe January 17.

Dead season won't hit until after MLK day weekend. That is of course when Universal gets ready to kick off Mardi Gras to help bring the more local and concert interested crowds in.

I'll be there during MLK weekend and will bring back an attendance update. :thumbs:

I was just going through some old email and I totally forgot about the second AP event for HP on December 16th. Did anyone attend it? I got a feeling it was uber dead.

 

[Mitchiez]

I'm going on the 15th! Bringing a friend, who's never gone and I hope that everything is okay for her expirence. I would like to do the Ollivander's thing, but I know that the line will be a mile long... so I think that might be an iffy thing. But she is a huge potter fan much like myself, so I am pretty sure that we will be going in Ollivanders. Hope one of us gets chosen!

 

[Hatetofly]

^ I still have not done Ollivanders yet.

^ I still have not done Ollivanders yet.

Neither have I.

 

[mantaguy]

The only time the line was short enough for me was during softs.

Ditto. It was neat but not something that I'll wait over 20-30 minutes to see again, unless with someone who hasn't seen it.

I just got back home for IOA and Uni. The WWOHP was amazing but small. My parents ended walking past hogwarts to the wooden gates looking for more things to do. The crowds were ok and the weather was awesome. If it would have been in the summer i would have died. I arrived in the morning at the gates at 8:30 and waited in line for them to open them at nine. We then walked to harry potter through the Jurassic Park side and people were running to get there faster.lol. We then went on the FJ and walked on. The ride is awsome. The transitions from screen to set is what impressed me the most. Its in the blink of an eye, its so freaking cool. Then we did everything else there except for Olivanders, the line was too long........i drank butter beer and it tasted like medicine, and pumpkin juice was nice, tasted like apple pie to me. Once i left and walked into the lost content i was like wtf. It was empty, nothing to do, a waste of space. We went to uni like at 4 and Universal is a mess, its super ugly, dated and nothing to do. So we went back to islands at 6 and rode FJ again. We waited 75 minutes but the line goes super quick, no lie. Overall, fun trip. Any questions, ask
