Staying at RPR the weekend of MLK and my 9 year old DD wants to get her own wand and would dearly love to be the person picked for the experience at Olivanders. Trying to figure out my best strategy for that Saturday morning since it's a holiday weekend. We have no interest in getting in line for Hagrids or velocicoaster and have express for everything else so wondering if we would be better off going to the Olivanders in Hogsmeade immediately at early entry or if we should wait in line on the US side for regular opening and go to Olivanders in Diagon Alley?
I doubt we will get there early enough to be at the front of the pack for EE, we would probably arrive close to actual opening at 8. Or we could head to the US side and be there by 8:30. I doubt being at the front of the line will make much difference, if other people get in line right behind us they'll be put in the same room as us regardless of who got there first so really just wondering if anyone has any clues as to which side will be less likely to have people in line for Olivanders first thing, any suggestions? Or do you all think they are both likely to have people in line right away? My preference would be to start on the US side cause I wanted to do breakfast in the leaky cauldron so if it's not likely to matter we'll just stick with that plan
