Given those two nights as options would one be the better date for lower crowds to do parks during the day and HHN in the evening?
I can't give advice on Halloween night as I've not been on that night, but I've heard that it's actually relatively light -- probably because so many people are trick or treating, going to parties, etc. We were there last year on November 1st (a Saturday) and it was pretty light. We had pre-purchased Express Passes to navigate the lines, but the park probably would have been doable without them (though the Walking Dead and Halloween houses still had lengthy lines from what I remember). One of the employees noted it was one of the least busy nights they'd had. It was definitely much less busy than when we went early in the week before Halloween in 2012.
I was there on Halloween last year and had a very similar experience as slford00. We also bought the express passes but felt we didn't really need them except for the Walking Dead, Halloween and the clown one whose name I'm currently blanking. This year we're going on November 1st and expecting it to be pretty similar. Some will have long lines but if you can get in early and hit a few of the houses before the park reopens that'd help a lot.
