Ok checkin and getting our passes was as seamless as could be! Then we went out to grab the water taxi. We should have walked but oh well - it was a pleasant ride.

We got inside IoA to see a mass of humanity. We were distracted right at Hagrid’s drop and arrived on the app in time to try to select a party but have no passes left. Ugh. Set a couple of timers for the later drops.

Got in a HUGE line for Three Broomsticks right after 11. They say it is 45 min to an hour and that will probably end up being right. My poor kiddos are exhausted and hot and we haven’t ridden a ride yet. Lol. But we will be happier when we eat and have frozen butterbeer down our throats.

Otherwise we are hoping to take it easy the rest of the day with our express passes and maybe some wet rides that would be very welcome right now. Lol

Good news is we have a good view of the Velocicoaster running back here.

Finally seated about 45 minutes later! Yikes. Hopefully that is the longest line we wait in today.

It WILL be worth it for the frozen butterbeer. I know that already. But the AC is also delightful.

DD7 is hilarious. My DD12 is just like that. She’s like “That was too long a wait for lunch, Dad. I thought you were a liner. When are all your charts and graphs supposed to actually start helping us. If my food doesn’t come soon, I’ll just eat some Lucky Charms.” :rofl:

Is that frozen? I am surprised you can drink it like that. It is so cold that I had to pace myself…and even then I ended up with an agonizingly painful, frozen throat!

That is adorable!

Is there no longer a butterbeer cart outside?

There is - maybe two in Hogsmeade? But I think they were also having lunch

I was just wondering. We had butterbeer at Three Broomsticks with lunch and then twice at a cart (We were wilting from the heat and humidity. Okay, I’ll admit that we are addicted to butterbeer!)

Yes there was a huge line for the butterbeer cart so I’m glad we got it with lunch.

We’re doing this!

Sign says 40 min wait.
