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

[gannonsmovieworld]

I like the FJ sign better than the ToT sign in Hollywood Studios. ToT's sign just fades in but FJ's writes itself onto the stone of Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry!

Hi guys, a couple of questions. I'm going Tuesday. I've been in before and had to go in at 9:00 what time should I get there tuesday? And will the park be open the whole time for guests or just the people who got in then? Also what with the birthday wands talk?

 

[Gambit]

Why don't they have it on during the day? I know you can see it better at night but the one at TOT is on all the time and you can see that one fine during the day. Just wondering.

BTW, is it open again tomorrow because I just told a friend it was? I figured they took the walls down today for a reason.

It's no nice to hear that everyone is having such an awesome time! and that the WWoHP is open till late so we can see it all light up! I may just have to head out there tomorrow and gawk at it for myself
Thanks for the updates everyone, especially Tbad! :rep:

OK, so whether it's tomorrow or whenever I'm heading over there I'm hoping that I get to do FJ, Unicorn and Ollivander's which I missed the first time I went (even though I've been on Unicorn, but without the new amazing sight), then I want to try fish n' chips followed by PB & Strawberry ice cream. I also want to try the cauldron cakes and drink a lot more butterbeer and buy some more merch!!!

I'm very tempted to go tomorrow...

They were out of Cauldron cakes when I went Actually...a TON of stuff was missing from Honeydukes. TMs told me people had been buying stuff like crazy and they haven't had time to restock the shop yet.

Thanks! The first and only time I went it was just so overwhelming!! I didn't get to take it all in, so I've been craving another visit to the WWoHP

Oh wow! I hope there's some when I go! I was lucky to grab the last chocolate frog from the shelf when I went and it was in the early mornin! (And I asked a couple of shop attendants to look for more because I wanted to get more, but they said they didn't have any more than what was out there)

When I went into Honeydukes yesterday afternoon, everything seemed fairly well stocked. There were cauldron cakes and tons of chocolate frogs. I didn't get one, but only due to wanting my pygmy puff more.

Well then today they were ill prepared or something. =/ There were maybe 20 chocolate frogs and the glass case where they keep a lot of the fudge and chocolate cauldrons was missing A LOT of stuff...

OMG forbidden is spelled wrong with one D !!!!! Also, I would have liked if the writing was in a different color other than white. --Just kidding forbidden is spelled right. LOL

 

[IzzyB]

the cups are more expensive at 3b and hogs head cause it's a bigger cup

That is not true. I got one from Hogs Head yesterday and it was the same size cup that was being served at the cart. Now I can't comment on the price, because I got an AP discount.

What did you pay w/ AP discount?

That's unfortunate! I might have to get a chocolate frog on my next visit then before the tourists steal them all! Kidding, obviously, but I should have grabbed one while they were in stock. The only thing they appeared to be out of when I was there were perhaps different sized robes, Hermione's wand, and castle stamps from Owl Post.

Also, I paid a little under $3.50 I think for a refill at the cart where they don't take discount. They do take AP at the Hogs Head, I know for certain.

It's spelled correctly. Have a second look

I got in on friday, after a whole week of checking to see if it was open. I was so excited when we got in, not because I'm a huge Harry Potter fan but because I was afraid that I had ran all the way to the back of the park for the 4th time for nothing. I rode the Forbidden Journey the first time no problem. Great ride, I screamed the entire time. It was like spiderman meets the dinosaur attraction at animal kindom. We got off and ran straight for the single riders. But the most mysterious thing happed, between the first and second ride I must have gained weight because the second time I tried to ride I was escorted off for being too fat. I don't know one minut I'm fine, the second I'm to big. I'm about 42 in the waist and 49 in the shoulders, so I must be just tettering over that to big to ride line. Well I have a goal when losing weight, I just have to fit onto harry potter. I certainly am glad I got to ride at least once. YAY!!!!!!!

Just wanted to comment on this. Today was my 3rd attempt to ride. No green light and and no 3rd click. A few days ago I got a green light outside but the ride was already closed. After sitting around for awhile I decided to go through the line just to see the inside again. Got to the inside test seats and was ready to leave and the TM tells me I should try again. Needless to say now I magically fit. Did the stationary platform and rode the ride for the 1st time. I don't know if the end seat has less room than the middle or what.

I found this written on a youtube comment-

Universal exceed Disney? LOL I think attendance plus other things prove that disney is better than universal not only here in florida but everywhere including california and japan. You wanna waste money? Enjoy wasting it in a park that got a new area with only 1 new ride.

I dont know why, but i just smiled when i read it.

It was a joke at the end of my comment I put -- Just kidding forbidden is spelled right. LOL in a light color. You have a second look !!! =)

You know, we should go on Youtube, all of us, and just post all the ridiculously ignorant and arrogant comments on Universal and the WWoHP. So many nonsensical comments on that site...and even worse, most don't even explain after themselves.

"The Harry Potter land is going to suck!!!!!!"
-Oh really, care to explain why? Have you been there?
"uh...uh, I don't know. Harry Potter is gay and stupid."
-Did you even read any of the books?
"...n-no."
-So your opinion is worthless and a waste of time then.
" ( realized his/her comment is full of ignorance)...Expedition Everest is the best ride ever!"

LOL. Thats why I just smiled when I read the comment that I found. Most people just don't know. No lie, if I did not know anything about the WWOHP and I saw the commercial I would think it would be wack and dumb too. Its in a cheap looking cartoon that seemed like it took 5 min to make.

Just one new are and ride? And what has Disney done in the past few years? I hate it when people hate things with no base in fact.

Ok, last time I ask a question like this. If I were to go to Universal, IOA on November 1 which is on a Monday, how packed would it be. Please only answer people that have been there every time of the year. Its not a legal holiday or whatever. I just don't want to go when its packed. Thanks.
