I'm considering taking DD (8) to HHN on the last night of our trip. Before you think I'm too crazy, DD LOVES scary stuff. I've been taking her to haunted houses/trails/hayrides since she was 4. We get doubtful looks from everyone, and then DD giggles happily as a man with a chainsaw pops out of the woods. Another example- she loved Krampus. She has yet to even find anything scary, she thinks scary things are fun and silly. I told her about Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and she immediately declared she had no interest in that.
So anyway, I'm definitely not worried that it will be too scary for her. The last night of our trip would be our only chance to go, so I think I'm just going to wait and see if we are totally exhausted or not by that point. My plan would be to get into a holding area, hit 2-3 houses, and then enjoy Diagon Alley for a while (assuming it's open) before turning in. Probably wouldn't stay super late as I know we will be tired.
With that being said, here are my questions:
1. Can we buy the add on ticket the day of (if not sold out)? Is it more expensive than buying in advance?
2. Any idea on the likelihood of selling out on Wednesday, October 26? It's midweek, but it is close to Halloween.
3. Other than the scary aspect- are there any other reasons not to bring an 8 year old?
4. I read somewhere that you get hot from running away from the scare actors. Is running a must? I have a lung disease and running and I are not friends, as I get short of breath very easily.
5. When do you have to be in the holding area? Which one would you recommend, keeping in mind we will probably only spend 1-2 hours in the houses/scare areas?
This got long! I appreciate the help!
