Really?! I am so excited now, haha. A Pygmy Puff (as I've said a couple times) is one of the things I KNEW I wanted. Now I need to come up with a good name so I won't be on the spot.
What does everyone else's list look like? I'm curious what the more popular products among the boards are.

Yeah, my kids came up with the names Frenchie (from Grease) and Pinkie Tuscadero (Happy Days). I just rolled laughing!

Yes it was open rhino.

From @grgisme
Guest Services says that Parking Garages will open at 6:30am on June 18th. They recommend lining up for garages earlier.

I got to have a house shirt
a wand
the feast
pumpkin juice
butter beer
an on-ride photo
...mostly just the food. It sounds so good. But I'm sure I'll see something else I really want.
A broom would be awesome but they're so expensive. And there are a few candies that look good. THe cauldron cake too.
I hope we get another good review on FJ soon. :thumbs:

Piece of advice on the chocolate candies (like the cauldron)...remember its 90+ degrees out: we left around 3PM yesterday and the chocolate wand didnt make it completely home as it was when we bought it.

Yes there is - its around 11 bucks (both the butterbeer and hogs head mugs, plan on about 5 bucks more than just the drink itself to add the mug).
They are refillable at the "base" drink prices. (around 3-4 bucks for butterbeer depending on size, and around 6.50 for hogs head ale).

I'm going to try to get there by 7 or 7:30. I'm trying to arrange some plans...I'm carpooling with my father, who is doing business in Orlando that day, so I have to consider his situation as well. We're trying to kill two birds with one stone. So I won't be going to the parking garage...but the people-mover things that get you into City Walk is the same thing parking garage people use too right? I haven't used the parking garage in almost three years, so I'm a little rusty on this...
But if so, that mean those should be open bu at least 6:30, right?

Im just waiting at this point for the first tweets or posts that softs are staying open into lunch and dinner time: I am really looking forward to sampling that menu.

--- Update ---

Totally OT, but for those who havent heard, the Main St. Electrical Parade return is "soft"ing this Saturday night at "that other park down the street"...I think we are going to skip another potter visit this weekend and give some other folks a chance to enjoy it.

Speckles, The only bad thing about my list is there are a few multiples I will have to buy. There are 3 of us going, each has to have a wand, butterbeer, pumpkin juice, 2 shirts, 2 hats, 2 buckbeaks... Thankfully I talked Hub into getting the AAA membership so we can at least get a discount.

I was told by a pretty reliable source that FJ going down and 3 broomsticks not being ready for lunch/dinner service were the primary reasons Potterland is not open for full day softs yet. Supposedly 3 broomsticks is just not ready for prime-time service yet.

But as soon as they are ready, we should see full day softs, to get their go-live training completed.

Im patiently waiting for this myself.

Couple notes on the discounts: I took out both my AAA card and my AP at every register yesterday, and was told in all cases that I could use either, they were the same discount amount. Although at the picture counter at FJ, they couldnt find the code for the AP, so they used my AAA. As a matter of fact, they opted for my AAA card first at most of the counters, Dervish and Banges being the exception. Interestingly enough though, at the picture counter, I had to fill out a receipt with my name, address, phone, etc along with the discount - receipt stated something like "you have received a discount, to process we need the following information". All the other counters just swiped my card and discount was given - no extra paperwork. Dont know why the picture station was different.

But, given my experience, some good news for AP holders who dont also have AAA.

Also remember, some of the merch is available in the main gift shop at the enterance, as well as the main shop in the other park and the UO shop in Citiwalk as of yesterday, and your AP discount definately works on the HP merch there if not in WWoHP.
