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

[Claire-Bear]

I'm quite glad to hear that on 9am opening the 8am pre-opening for packagers resulted in only a 30 mins queue. Hoping it won't be too bad when we arrive before rope-drop after GO.

Per Potter Watch on Twitter, GP softs at opening today, 30 min wait for FJ.

Grrr! Wish I could be there. Hope everyone has a good time though.

 

[Disneyhead]

Woot!!!! In Line for FJ!!!

Just saw the behind the thrills crew, and also saw Kevin.

Anyone know how long they're letting GP in for? Maybe if I run and speed I can make it! =/

 

[rhino4evr]

wouldnt it be nice if they kept it open ALL day...

 

[honeybee8200]

@ Danielle. Don't get a ticket!

Disneyhead is finally in the WWoHP!!! YAY!!!

 

[BellelvsBeast]

Hope everyone has fun today! Hubby said we will try tomorrow, Yay!! Did anyone notice if there is jewellry for sale? My mom wants some HP related earrings...Love her she is 64 and as excited as my son and I are.

 

[BBPH]

I haven't heard anything about jewelry yet I'd love some too, especially some Luna Lovegood jewelry like they sell on WB's website.

Disneyhead-- how many hissy fits were thrown before they let you in? Lol, just kidding. I'm happy you guys are in! Have fun and, of course, report back.

 

[Claire-Bear]

Let us know how the shopping crowds are, and of course, FJ, DC, FOTH and Ollivanders wait lines throughout the morning/day!

I have to admit, shopping in HP is the aspect of WWOHP I'm most worried about for crowds! More so than FJ!! I can just picture it being a nightmare, completely packed, and pretty uncomfortable!

Yeah, that's why I'm bypassing the summer for this, hopefully things will calm down a bit in the fall.

So they opened the gates at 9am today it seems like?

Its about time they let people in, I just hope they don't find out that DH is the helicopter picture guy, he'll be kicked out soo fast

 

[DisFreakBrent]

Belle there was no jewelry in the stores that I saw so I recommend picking her up something online & surprising her with it once you get down here.

Disneyhead congrats. on getting in have fun & can't wait to hear what you thought.

As for me I am heading back for a short trip tomorrow with friends who want to try to get in (one of which who sadly prob. won't fit on FJ) so keep an eye out for me I won't be in my robe I bought but i will be wearing my gray Slytherin t-shirt so feel free to yell if you see me.

 

[Bryan]

hope they enjoyed it

I couldn't do that morning thing again, too tired

next I hope to catch a light crowd at park closing if they ever have a whole day soft, but they may not, they might not close dueling dragons til grand opening

I LOVE your avatar

 

[Inevitable]

Yes.
In fact I think that may be illegal in some states.

Illegal? Oh no. Hopefully not in Florida

haha! Omr, I would have never thought they did. I guess I will need to buy one and see if mine is cuddily too. I just dont see how something so sturdy and odd shaped can be cuddily. I thought the house scarfs looked cuddily though.

Don't underestimate their awesomeness.

I wish the acid pops came in the shapes/packaging like they did for that special bundle someone took pictures of a few pages back. That would be more fun to eat o:

And where are you finding blood pops? Apparently, I'm blind because I didn't see any.

 

[speckles]

A lot of the merchandise is currently sold out, you would be surprised the quantity that was delivered back to the Universal hotels the first few days. Their supply lines obviously did not expect this level of demand.

 

[Claire-Bear]

Hopefully they'll have worked out the level of supply by grand opening!

 

[Vyrus]

That is why I am most surprised they haven't at least opened the shops during the day.

UO has a cash cow on its hands, I would guarantee that all the wands in Ollivanders and the Owl Post would sell out.
