Rope drop
Gringotts at rope drop — line balloons fast. Then Mummy (riders) or MIB (everyone). Save shows for the heat.
Must do
- Escape from Gringotts (42" — Briggs + Louie OK)
- Hogwarts Express (needs park-to-park)
- MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack (42")
- Despicable Me Minion Mayhem
- E.T. Adventure
- Animal Actors / Bourne Stuntacular (A/C break)
- Mummy (48"+ riders)
Skip
- Rip Ride Rockit (51"+, skip unless time)
Express / Lightning Lane
Skip Express. Lines manageable midweek; rope drop covers headliners.
Rain backup
Best rain park — many indoor rides + theaters. Stack Bourne Stuntacular and Animal Actors back-to-back.
Meals
- Leaky Cauldron Mobile order. Butterbeer.
