In today's video we take advantage of early park admission (EPA) and head to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in both Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios. Along the way we use seven of the most underutilized strategies to have the perfect morning!
These are strategies that we use every visit we make to the parks.They help us enjoy the magic of Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley without feeling the hustle and bustle of crowds. We also use these tips to take frameable photos.

Do you have great Wizarding World photos? Which spots are your favorite?
The bridge by velocicoaster is one I like. U get the back side of Hogsmeade and velocicoaster in the selfie
@@nerdgirl1 That is a great one!
During my EPA experience, I didn’t rope drop Hagrid’s. I went and ate breakfast at Three Broomsticks with just me and three other people total eating! I got immerse myself in Hogsmeade and enjoy my hot butterbeer!😊
It’s such a great way to start the day! The crowds midday get a bit overwhelming, but morning is perfect!!And great choice on the butterbeer. Team hot butterbeer!
Using this method, when would one hit Hagrid’s? Note, we are contemplating three days with multi park.
There are a couple of options I would try.
1. A few hours after the morning rush the wait times drop. Download the app before you go and start pulling up wait times before your trip to look at trends. I do this every park we go to and even though it is not always perfect, it gives you an idea of trends. I would get in line once it drops after morning.
2. End of day. This one is tricky because if there is a delay or it shuts down you could potentially miss out. But you could make it your last ride of the day. If you have done it once already this could be your bonus ride.
3. You could head straight for Hagrid's one of your 3 EPA days, but get through security and line up early. We were at the very front of one of the lines and this was how many people already made it to Hagrid's before us. If it is a busy day and the line goes over the bridge and out the people at the back are going to be in a very long line at Hagrid's.
This is what we do! Great place to have breakfast and so cool when it’s not crowded!

Wand spots, just like you said, during early admission are so great. No waiting and you don't see 5 people do it before you do.
It really is a great time for the wand spots! Especially for some of the tricky ones. The attention to detail in those wand spots is amazing!
Wow nice one! You guys crushed it on this one. I can't believe I never thought of some of those!!
Thank you so much!
What gets you into Diagon earliest? Rope drop at EPA on Islands, get a butter beer, and then get in line for the train? Or rope drop at Studios at 9am opening? And how early do you have to get in line for the train to be the first ride over there?
That is a great question! It depends on the season. If it is outside of the extremely busy season, there's hardly any wait for the trains right when Studios opens. That is if studios opens an hour after EPA at Islands. There are some times of year when EPA at Islands is 8 and Studios regular opening time is 8 or something similar. We filmed this right before the summer season started last year and Diagon did start to fill up but that first half an hour to hour as very light. A lot of people will come into studios and go straight to the first rides they see like Minions. We like to work back of the park to front most days for that reason. Hope that helps!
Thank you for being the one to finally tell me that three broomsticks has a breakfast menu
Gosh that makes us so happy to hear! The entire purpose of our channel is to give people good info. It’s honestly our favorite way to start the day! The breakfast is delicious!!
Not EPA related, but going to Diagon Alley during HHN, especially towards the end of the night, is always fun. Everyone is doing houses so the crowds in Diagon Alley are always minimal compared to the daytime. Highly recommend.
We are going to HHN for the first time this year and can’t wait! Trish is scared of the houses but we can’t wait to just be there and see all the theming!
@@goteamadventures Enjoy!
I like how you said you can drink hot drinks any time. I’m the opposite. it could be -20 and I’d still drink iced coffee and eat ice cream 😂
Winter is the best time to eat ice cream!! It doesn’t melt all over in winter. I try to tell Zack this but he does not listen. We may need more people in the winter ice cream club to convince him. 😂
Night rides on Hagrid's are awesome too
Oh I agree. I haven't rode it yet but for the first time I want it to be at night. Looks like the most amazing experience ever.
Excellent video! Just subscribed.
We are so glad that you enjoyed it! It really is our favorite thing to do and we wanted to share with others. Thanks so much for the sub! We’ve got lots more planned!
My biggest tip is do not travel with a person who has to smoke every 10 minute. Will ruin your whole trip. We had to leave the park so many times.
You wait an hour in an early park line and at 9am they open the singles line, don’t ask anyone who has been waiting an hour if they are singles and watch as people get right on the ride without waiting. Poor customer service. I was so disappointed by this kind of thing at my first and likely last visit to this park.
