I'm back from a couple days at Cabana Bay and Diagon Alley, so thought I'd share my experiences!
First, the walls at CBR are paper-thin; seems to be NO noise abatement at all. Which made for very poor sleep. Which meant there was no way we were getting up to attempt EE at 6am.
We went to Diagon around 5pm and walked right in - no line or wait. It was busy, but totally manageable. No wait at 5pm to eat at Leaky Cauldron. Short wait for ice cream at Florean Fortescue's. Same thing the next night. I'm giving evening/nighttime touring a big
Both morning and night we had little wait - 15 mins max - for Hogwart's Express.
Gringott's was insane the entire time and they've been shutting down the line at 7pm. We never rode it; totally unwilling to stand in line for more than an hour, so it'll wait for another visit. Wait times seemed to be around 150 mins both evenings.
Other rides had low wait times of 20 mins or less, excepting Despicable Me, which ran at 45-60mins the entire time, and Transformers, which ran about 60 mins most of the day, down to 10 just before closing.
