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

[Vyrus]

Apparently the only people that were supposed to ride FJ today were Virgin Air employees. Universal didn't realize that some of the package guests starting getting in line as well until around 9:35am and stopped them from coming in after.

That is crazy if its true BriMan, how would they have been able to diferentiate anyways.

Note about the show building -- very hard to notice inside WWoHP unless you're specifically looking for it (or on DC). They did a good job of creating a chokepoint between the exit (Filch's) and the trees of FOTH.

From insidethemagic - looks like they're still in WWOHP?

This just posted on UO's official FB account:

Hi, Facebookers. As planned, we are accommodating package holders and on-site hotel guests with a Wizarding World of Harry Potter experience as of today, May 28. This is a controlled experience for these guests only. We look forward to welcoming guests for our grand opening on June 18.

Like an intense Simpsons ride? I think I'm going to cry.

That means "Hey, give us more money and we'll let you in."

I would so book a hotel room even just for a night if you wanted to get in before the Grand Opening.

From insidethemagic - not sure if these were photos he took before exiting or if he's still in there?

"Olivanders experience is wondefully entertaining!"

--- Update ---

Just got a message on Facebook from " CentralFlorida OnDemand" asking if I'd been into WWOHP this morning ound:

Anyone want to buy a hotel room?

We can partner up in groups of 2 or 4 so we can get access.

 

[Claire-Bear]

That's the spirit luke

Man, some passholders are really getting nasty on the OU facebook page about package holders..

 

[jj3352]

From inside the magic:
"Pic of a lady with her Potter robe & owl. The owl chirps & turns his head"

 

[Bryan]

BTW- any locals/ passholders want to go in on a hotel room for one night, say 25 to 50 each depending how many of ya wanna pitch in, because if we get a hotel room.... we get to get in.... and i have an annual pass and checked with royalpacific, (i wont be staying in the room) and its 160usd per night and you and every person in your party is so anybody wanna get in? if i get 4 people that wanna go tomorrow Pm me and ill book the Hotel today =]

Yes, they do. On June 18th, a $50 offer to them will be like finding a penny in a storm drain.

Is it all on-site hotel guests? I thought it was only if you booked before March 25th?

I hope you guys get in but maybe they'll open later in the afternoons for regular soft openings. The ride obviously has a lot more kinks to get worked out.
