Now...you know better than that.There is nothing wrong with either (did my post indicate that? I didn't mean to.)
I was agreeing with you.

press release said:but will not offer complimentary Universal Express Unlimited Access.

No, but they are going to offer early entry so more people will pack into Harry Potter.
I think since the new hotel was just announced yesterday, no one knows when in 2014 it will open...no one can tell right now. I'm sure many dates will change between now and then.I'm wondering exactly when the new hotel will open in 2014. I had planned to take my daughter to WDW (8days) and IOA (2 days) for her 18th birthday and stay on site so she could see WWoHP (she's a HP nut). If the new hote opens then early entry and increased crowds could make it super packed. I'm looking at end of 2nd week of January for the IOA 2 days on site , which is when her birthday falls. Any thoughts?
If both parks have early entry, it won't be such a big deal. Perhaps that is why there is such a hurry to get the new ride done at Universal and then the new Harry Potter section.
People will be pretty much split evenly between the two parks and we shouldn't really notice the difference.
Thanks jodie was wondering 'where', very retro
imo that's subject to one's tolerance level and their past experience.
The parks are already more crowded than pre HP days (Universal reported a 41% increase in attendance last year). Pretty sure they were all there when I was.
If all the majority of the new onsite guests decide to devote the 1st part of each day to see HP's house (that'd be my strategy), IOA will be slammed.
i'm a betting sort, here's my take:
Repeat onsite guests' negative comments would lead to FOTL being instituted at HP if only for a portion of the day. Loews would promptly challenge the market and dramatically raise their existing onsite resort rack rates while touting the new & improved HP accessible FOTL perc.
who's next with a scenario?

My scenario would be that UO starts eliminating early entry for some of the off-site partner hotels. Now that they will havetheir own value resort onsite, they may not renew some of their current partner hotel partnerships?
I would also hope that this new value resort doesn't start offering discount express options. If it does, I hope UO would start reducing the number of paid express offered to the GP.
