We are staying at Portofino bay and realize that they let you into Wizarding World of HP 1 hour earlier than the general public. Do they let you in the main gate of IOA one hour early or do they let you into the park earlier than that, but make you wait outside of Wizarding World entrance until the 1 hour mark?
Also, I know it will depend on crowds, we will be there May 31st & June 1st, but how long will it take to get from Portofino to IOA. This is our first trip to Universal and I'm not familiar with how far things are or how long a usual wait for a boat is? Can you also walk there or do you have to take a boat or bus?

Thank you for any info.
