Halloween Horror Nights 2008

[meryll83]

I was sure there'd be a thread for this somewhere, but I can't seem to see it.

Dates have now been announced and there seems to be much speculation going on at the moment as to what themes we will see - Stephen King being mentioned a lot.

Any official news or rumours abound???

Nothing official until later in the summer. There are always rumours but I don't pay much attention to them. I haven't heard much so far.

one of this site's sponsors has the dates & some info listed from last year on the scrolling section for this board

Yeah I noticed that there were dates listed, so I was surprised not even one theme has been announced yet.

I suppose they're not on sale yet are they so they don't really have to sell it to us just yet! Mind you, we'd probably all still buy tickets even if we didn't know what was going on!

I don't think I've ever been this excited in my life!!

They won't usually announce the theme until the website starts coming up. We should know something in the next few weeks.

More or less what I'd guessed going on the trend although I had hoped that they would do a Disney & put in some earlier dates! Now just need Busch to announce HoS dates although I think that I may have worked this one out wrong & may have to do the 2 back to back!

i've resigned myself to probably doing MNSSHP & HHN back to back also..what an assult on the senses

waiting patiently for the AP nights/rates to be released?

any guesses? hoping that the AP nights are announced the same day they release the general tix

so i can buy the MNSSHP tix before they sell out

 

[meryll83]

Are there only certain nights that AP holders can have discounts on MNSSHP then?
We will have AP's for the first time next October, but will only be activating them on arrival, so if we want to go to MNSSHP in a few days time once there(presuming there is availability) can we still preorder somewhere on site to get an AP discount or would we have to pay a gate price? And how many tickets is it valid for, just one per passholder?

Sorry slightly OT there, back to HHNness! I wonder if the ticket prices will have gone up, I know we'll definintely be getting an Express pass, we couldn't have lived without it last year, we probably would have only managed 3 houses!
We bought the Frequent Fear pass last time and just bought an Express pass the second (and last) time we went to make sure we saw it all, the first night we just did 2 houses and 3 shows.

The first part of your question should be asked on the Disney side.

The second part...you are absolutely right about the EP's. I don't go w/o them...even if I've done the houses during an earlier visit.

cool phrase

i go both ways, think it's hard to separate planning if ur going to hit them both up during a visit...so in answer to ur AP Q re MNSSHP, i direct u to our sponsor

http://www.wdwinfo.com/holidays/halloween.htm#ticketshttp://www.wdwinfo.com/Disneyland/Events/Halloween.htm#halltreat

take note that the discount for AP/DVC is lame @ best imo, virtually the same amount as prepurchase for non-premium nights whoop-de-doo, prices as listed do not include tax.

I don't think I've ever been this excited in my life!!

Just to tease you a little...here are some of the houses from years past. Every year I collect the wallpapers from the website. Here are some of my favs:

 

[raph_b]

Wow - Thanks Metro - they look amazing!

I've heard really good things about Body Collectors and Psychoscareapy!

 

[ToGreen78]

They look GREAT!!! I'm starting to get ants in my pants waiting for OCT

 

[Corryn]

I don't think I've ever been this excited in my life!!

I'm with you!!!!! It's my 40th birthday this year and I could have chosen to do anything I wanted (basically) and I chose HHN 18 !!!!!!!!!!
This'll be our 4th HHN

That's an excellent way to celebrate a birthday!

 

[inkkognito]

Woo hoo! Another b-day HHN celebrant here (although it's not a milestone b-day). I wonder if there is some trend that October babies tend to have a special love for Halloween and haunted houses. I've had that affinity all my life.

 

[macraven]

i posted the dates and prices on another thread in the uo forum.


i'm waiting for ap prices before i buy this year for hhn.

 

[schumigirl]

Didn`t want to start another thread so asking on this one. Can someone explain what happens with stay and scream please? We plan to be in the park just after lunchtime on opening HHN but i remember reading somewhere you get put into an area at some point while they get the park ready. Is this right or am i imagining i read that
Last year we just bought the tickets in the afternoon, then went back to hotel to shower and change and then turned up at opening time. Wish I`d known about stay and scream then
