I was there last night, I got through 4 houses and they all were 45mins to over an hour waits. It was insanely crowded the whole night. Don't listen to the app it's way off!!!These wait times tonight are making me question buying an Express Pass for next Thursday.
I was in Lucy Friday & Saturday. I got into the holding area around 4:40pm on both days. They let us in around 6.

Lucy let's out between 5.45 and 6. The house was ready at 5.45 but they were slow on the sweep Saturday. As soon as the line of security makes it to the front they let you in. Did M&M and was 4th into the house. After the first room I lost the people in front of me and there were no people behind us. Was great. Then waited 20 for FvJ and 20 for wolf. Then wait'd 5 for run and ate at Finn. Did 8 houses and that was eating for an hour and also left at 12.45 when we coulda gotten in line for 1 more but we're wiped. It was better than opening night for sure.
Thanks for all the feedback about the wait times! Looks like I'll be sticking with the express pass this time around.
Now that the first weekend has come and past, what seems to be the optimal order to run through the houses in?
As much as it pains me to say this, because I think express is part of the problem...get an express pass. Especially if you're only going for one night.
I agree with Express being an issue. RIP also huge--had two 20-person tours cut in front of me in maybe a 5-minute span; an extra 300/hour would test even a people-eater like Haunted Mansion on a busy night. Also, to be blunt, abuse and fraud with GAC is probably even more rampant than it was at WDW when the Mouse changed policies.
I agree Express the only way to go. Even with express, 20 - 30 minute lines standard for the popular houses.
I think it's fair to say at this point, the system is broken. 9 houses and Diagon (which seems popular) and it doesn't make a dent.
Opening day diagon was a ghost town, saturday night it was more packed and gringotts reached 20 min, still nothing lol, but there was more of the gp saturday and the house lines were lower so i still believe diagon will help later down the line.Last night was still way better crowd wise than Friday night.
I know I asked this question earlier but think it is worth asking again. Does diagon increase the event capacity? From what I've heard gringots has been posting low waits, I've seen the London waterfront more difficult to the entrance to diagon but haven't looked inside.
If it increased capacity by 5000 (random number) and 4500 don't care then the houses are already over capacity
Also rip ride rocket had a long line saturday, people where rushing the rockit at the end of the night instead of the houses. The GP will fall for the rides soon enough.Opening day diagon was a ghost town, saturday night it was more packed and gringotts reached 20 min, still nothing lol.

Anyone know the purpose of the little tear-off tickets being handed out in lines this year? Is it to prevent line jumping, estimate wait times or something else?
