I’m in the UK. We don’t even have the show 
I love the ride though and have watched some bits of Jimmy Fallon on YouTube (mostly Kevin Hart clips that my kids WhatsApp to me 
). We literally only know the characters (Hashtag/Sara and Gary/Roots) from the ride.

Uuugggghhhhh…the morning got here too early!
Slept fine, but may have figured out the CL9 mystery for yesterday.
I didn’t notice it right away, but when I got back to the hotel last night I realized there elwas a flood of South America groups…I mean a lot! Not quite Pop Warner level, but half as many it looks like!
However, now I see a lot of them leaving with their luggage…
USF closed at 6pm and in hindsight I remember the logo on the UOR Private Event Signage was the same.
As much as I was frustrated at Pop Warner Universal did well at not making the oarks feel crowded with these groups. I believe it’s because they do get exclusive night rentals. The need to push the kids / groups through the parks in the daytime is a lot less. They can do their activities in the day then go to the parks.

It’s WWOHP DAY!
I did decide to not RD Hagrid’s. I was up and ready to go before the first bus, but I chose caffeine! I stopped in the food court and chugged a couple Coke Freestyle sodas.
I am on the second bus, but with no pressure to race to Hagrid’s I don’t care about it. There was a short delay boarding and you could feel the energy of all the anxious RD people waiting and thinking, “Hurry up! We’re in a rush!”

This isn’t going to be a “full” WWOHP day. The rain is coming by lunch time. I’m focusing on spells and a couple shows with FJ & Grigotts as my rides. I’ll probably go round trip on HE to see both stories.
I’m actually hungry?? I can tell I’ve been marathon walking as I am burning off everything I eat!

You can tell I’m not in a rush as I literally stopped at the Coke Freestyle machines in CityWalk to fill my water bottle as people swarmed past me…
Here’s what to expect on a slow CL day if you miss the first bus and stroll to the gate… There’s about 6 or so groups in front of me…
The next wave of people just showed up and the crowds have gone past the ticket booths yet at 7:30am

I guess I have more time for SeaWorld stuff…
Bet you didn’t know you’d get a detailed instruction manual on lockers, huh??
I’m gonna bookmark a this stuff to help others with their SeaWorld plans…
The App, maps and park layout…
Ok…the app works “ok”. As a map its fine for that…not great though. Every tine you select something on the map it covers up everything else and you can’t minimize it with opening another one and so forth…
None of the food locations are on the App map! The only way for you to know where the eateries are is to get a paper map. Are paper maps easily accessible? NOPE! You can only get one by stand in queue at guest services. You may have to backtrack to the front if the park if you didn’t stop by GS on the way in! They aren’t laying out to grab and go or anything. You gave to wait for one. Not in any shops or anything…
As you can tell, I had to experience this!
The park layout is very twisted. It reminds me of my years at Six Flags. Sometimes you can miss a turn because the “natural” path go straight and there was a small bend you didn’t realize was there.
The lack of “land” makes it hard to navigate to…so much of the park looks the same. It’s very beautiful, but it took me all day to finally feel like I had a decent idea how to fet around. The new coaster construction makes getting to that side of the park really different and out if the way from some places as there are roadblock construction walls.
It reminds me of VB as well…it’s taken me all year to finally have a good mental map of that parks winding paths and “hidden” ride entrances
RD is getting close!

Have fun today!!
It is quiet and overcast. It’s such a relief from the heat. (Although it’s ice & such at home… my DW is miserable and jealous!)

Did all my spells at least once most multiple times…helped out kids with their and have do everything in Hogsmeade except Hagrid’s with 15 minutes before I can ride HE…
I thought about popping in for a drink at 3 Broomsticks, but there was a small queue…
I’ll get something in Diagon Alley. I am going to the OIM tonight for all the food, but the drinks were so watered-down from being set oit for grab & go too early.
Alright, this visiting professor from Ilvermomy has a train to catch!

Thanks so much! You were the first person I thought of when I needed help! I’m grateful a
Turns out it was a full on raging storm. Thankfully, it was pleasant white noise while I slept!
I’m collecting myself to not come back until 2am. I had to go back to the room as the weather is cool enough with cloudsn light drizzle and breezy to warrant a hoodie.
Forecast is for low 60s and clouds.
I have my tentative OIM plans in my head. Now that I know which day I do Ptreanodon Fliers (Saturday) I can finalize my plans for tonight and tomorrow.

For the record I haven’t eaten anything today! I’ve been hungry since 8am! I did 15 eateries last OIM. Let’s see if I can do better this time!

The line to return the shirt is long!
I’ve had to really think about how to maximize OIM time.
Four hours goes by so fast! I’ve come to the conclusion that you have to commit to a “plan”
IME - you can either do a single park each night or do either a food tour or rides. You can do a mix of coure, but isn’t efficient.
I’m doing all food tonight, no rides! We get an extra 30 minutes of food Friday night because of a late park closing on Saturday that delays the event start.
I like to eat at all the places I have heard are mediocre or bad to taste for myself. I have a couple favorites to add as well.
Tickets are available at 3pm, but the event starts at 8pm…
I’ll ride stuff then…maybe Hagrid’s during the window of the public leaving and the rides open to us.
Hoping on DOOM! and Marvel Island until after 3:30pm when the OIM ticket RD crowd is done
