How to use the OI Priority List

Theme parks are always busiest in the middle of the day, generally from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. This means that if you want to minimize your wait times, you will want to visit the popular attractions at the very beginning or the very end of the day. Then, save the middle of the day to either check out the less-popular attractions, see the live shows (which usually do not have wait times longer than waiting until the next performance), or head back to your hotel for some rest.

When scheduling your visits to the most popular attractions, such as Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, visit them at the beginning of the day, if possible, and not the end of the day. This is important because you never know when a ride may be closed for mechanical reasons. If you visit an attraction at the end of the day and it is closed, you simply are out of luck; however, if you visit first thing in the morning and it is temporarily closed, at least you will have the opportunity to try again later on.
