If you have any interest doing the Ollivander wand choosing, early entry is great for it. Me and my friend were the only two in the room so the guy doing the wand thing did both of us at the same time. Your mileage may vary
my experience with EE overr Presidents Day weekend in Feb, of this year was taht if you didnt get there by 8 am sharp, it didnt help much,,,Its along walk from the parking lot to the HP sectionsWhat time should you arrive for EE?
What time should you arrive for EE?
We'll be there the week after Easter (I know it will be crazy busy!! ) The Universal Studios calendar shows a 7:00 a.m. open for EE during our stay. If I'm following the advice on this thread, that means we need to be at the gate by 6:45 a.m. or earlier??? Wow! My family may kill me
Did lines go back down after the initial crowds? I was wondering if there was a temporary surge or started busy and stayed busy. How were FJ lines throughout the day?We were there last year during president's week. Park opened at 8. We were in line by 720 and we were way in the back. By the time we "rushed" to HP, the wait was already 45 minutes for FJ. So get to the gate 1 hour before opening. Oh, and they have check points to check your bags, that took time away from getting up to the gate too.
August EE hours are on the calendar in the link above..........
