My parents and I went yesterday 6/21. We arrived at the front gate about 7:45. Most people were making their mad dash through the islands to get in the Harry Potter line. But we stopped for breakfast at Cinnabon, took some pictures and realized that there were people on Hulk even though it was only 10 after 8 and the posted opening time was 9. So off we went. We rode Hulk, Dr Doom and Spiderman twice before 9 AM.
Exiting Spiderman we saw the WWoHP line stretching through Super Hero Island back towards the entrance. I was really afraid that it was worse than the reports from Sunday and everyone had waited until Monday. We did the water rides in Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, toured the Discovery Center. The line still looked very long to get into WWoHP. Took the bridge over to Lost Continent, tried to do Posiden's Fury but got walked out of the line when it broke down. Headed into Seuss for the Caro-seuss-el. Back into LC for Sinbad, back into Seuss for the Trolley and lunch.
The trolley line was the first line we had longer than 5 minutes. It was posted at 25, down from 45 when we saw it at the Caroseussel. There seemed to be some issue at the Circus with food. The right side lines weren't moving, and people were coming out with disgusted looks. But we were in the left, and it seemed fine, although it took about 15 min. After lunch, we were going to do Cat in the Hat but it was 45 minutes. So we decided to go find the HP line and get the tickets so my Dad could wait, while my Mom and I did something else. We walked around the islands, found the end of the line in front of the Jurassic Park Discovery Center. Got tickets, and realized it was moving super fast. 5 minutes later they were collecting our tickets at the barrier, and another 5 minutes we were in Hogsmeade.
Posted wait time for FJ was 120 min, but there were 10 minute waits for Dragon Challenge and Hippogriff. So we did those first. By then the weather was looking suspect, so we decided if it was going to rain, maybe we should be in the FJ queue instead of outside. I tried the test seat because I was really worried about fitting. I couldn't get it to turn green on my own, but the TM didn't have to push very hard to get it to turn. He said the one outside wasn't calibrated and thought I should be fine, so off we went into line but the posted wait time was 150 min.
I misread my watch, so I don't know exactly what time we got in line, but it was about 3:40. By 5PM (so 80 min), we had retrieved our stuff from the locker and had purchased the photo and were leaving Filch's. The line outside was moving slowly, but once we were in the castle, it went really fast. I think because of all the people stopping for pictures. Got to the test area, and they didn't even pull me out, but I asked for the test. I got my 3 clicks on my own, although they were assisting a little, and I was a happy camper!
After the ride, my Dad got in line for the regular butterbeer at the barrel outside Dervish & Bangs, my Mom and I headed for the line for Honeydukes. That took about 20 minutes. After we made our purchases, we got in the line at 3B's. That took about 30 minutes. Lines for Ollivanders and Dervish & Bangs were still really long, so we decided to save those for another day.
And since we were tired, we headed out of the park. Wait at Cat in the Hat was down to 15 minutes, so my Mom and I did that. On the way out of the park, I got stopped to do a survey.
We were all really pleased about how the day went. We only had a really long wait at FJ, which was completely expected. But 90 min from entering the gates, getting a locker, ride, and getting our stuff, we did not think was too bad for only 4 days post-GO.
