Rope-drop hard or rethink the morning

If you walk in after 9 AM, plan to save Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure for the last hour instead.

11 AM to 1 PM
Sit-down lunch, no exceptions

Quick-service waits balloon on days like this. A reservation buys you AC and time.

2 PM to 6 PM
Take a break, come back at 7

Crowds don't thin. Leave the park, swim, return for the last 90 minutes.

8 PM to 9 PM
One more ride, then leave

Even at close, waits hold long. Pick one ride and get out before the parking lot does its worst.

Every ride, by average wait.
