Fabulous photos, thanks for sharing apart from the snake Sounds like you all had a brilliant time, glad you weren't disappointed in WWOHP. I'm going to try the frozen butterbeer next time.

What time did you get to IOA for early entry when you stayed on-site? Trying to work out what time we need to leave from RPR.

We arrived at RPR at 7:15am, checked in & walked from RPR to IOA and entered the park at 8:05am. Ollivanders already had a long queue - FJ was 15 mins

The following morning we had to wait for breakfast in the lounge to be put out so didn't get to the park until after 8:15am. Ollivanders line was again over an hour and FJ was 20 mins.

On one of the offsite early entry mornings we were at the gates for 7:25 and they started letting people in at 7:30am. FJ was not open (tech issues) and did not start running until just after 9:30am

On all mornigs FotH & DC did not get above a 15 minute wait before we left (usually around 10.30 - 11ish)

Thank you, we're only interested in FJ and would like to ride it a few times if we can.

We just got back and experienced a HUGE thunderstorm at Busch Gardens - we were queueing for the raft ride and lightning struck one of the water pumps a few feet from where we were queueing! It must've passed a metre from our heads! It's possible that we were there the same day if lightning hit the park whilst you were there?
