30 Years & Counting HHN 2021, XXX Let’s Stick This One!

[macraven]

Yes they are honoring the bogo that were purchased last year

I bought two sets of them so I have 4 nights for 2021
to use them

 

[DarthEsquire]

I am supposed to be in Orlando for 10 days in September so I am just hoping for a September pass as the night time hours would work well with free time at night. Usually, I have to try to get everything done in one night instead so I do one of the public tours.

I thought the 2019, AP disc for Frequent Fear tix as being reasonably priced, just not quite as much as the BOGO deal

Generally, hate to compare the two parks, more specifically here; as I’m comparing two entirely different sorts of after hours events.

However, the standard FF was priced in same ballpark as one night of MNSSHP

In 2019:
FF = $105+
FF+ plus that included Friday’s = $140+
BOGO = $83+

will be somewhat surprised if BOGO tix are offered this year, along with sales of any multi day tix (unless a sharp change in pricing/offering). Hope I’m wrong. All depends on then current covid protocols, if any

I called and was told my bogo that I bought last year before the park cancelled hhn, would be valid.

When the parks officially closed hhn last year, I received info from UO, the bogo would be honored for 2021

I had the option for a refund or use the hhn bogo for 2021

No idea if bogo will be sold for 2021, but they do plan to allow those with prepaid tickets to be used

So do crowds generally drop off near the end of the night or are things busy right through to the end?

U confirmed that, in writing last year too. Put it in one of the posts on 1st page here for reference when i set this thread up.

Yes you did Keisha

It is post #16

Totally anecdotal response, but my experience is that some of the original houses might be less busy, but the marquee, IP houses are still busy until closing time. Might be the days we were there though.

Do the houses work like rides at closing time? That is, as long as you get in line by closing time, you can go through? Or do they close the lines early?

You can get in line right up to closing time, and you will get in the house.

Nice! Thanks!

As others have said, previous experience is that as long as you get in line before they cut it off, you will get in the house. I wouldn't wait until the last second though. Good luck and have fun!

So what do people think about the week of October 16-23?
Looks like that is the week sometimes referred to as "Hell week"? That's forboding.
Thing is, my son has 3 days off that week, so wouldn't have to make up much school work. It's his first year of high school and he does not like to get behind.
I did look at Orange, Osceola, and Seminole County school calendars and looks like both have no days off that week, unlike previous years.
We would do PBR for the first three nights to get EP, and hit the parks hard those days. Then move to CBBR or maybe one of the Endless Summer resorts and do more sleeping in, pool time, then head to the parks for the evening. We would like to do at least 2 nights of HHN.
Hotel prices are not awesome at this point. Anybody think there's a chance of AP rates?

 

[macraven]

If any special room rate deals come out, think it would happen months from now
Rooms are being booked steadily now for certain dates.

When hotel capacity is increased for bookings. might see better room rates

I booked last year for dates this fall to lock in with a rate I could live with

I’m seeing late September early October room
rates higher than last year
But if more rooms are allowed to be released, and not booked, quite possible an adjustment of rates in order to fill the hotel rooms

No idea what the projected capacity level is set at.
It’s more than 3.5 months before hhn begins .

I always leave UO for home day before Columbus Day
Found the parks too crowded for me on Columbus Day
Stayed for it twice and avoided it ever since.

Hopefully others will be able to share with you for crowd levels for the time period you asked about.

 

[mamapenguin]

I think a lot of schools have extra days off in October which may contribute to the crowds.

 

[DizneyFamof4]

When does the parks close for regular day guests?

 

[macraven]

During hhn dates, Studios closed at 5 but IOA is open to later closing time

I pulled this from another forum....

For reference, Colombus Day is 10/11 this year.

Orange, Seminole, Pinellas - 10/8
Brevard - 10/11
Osceola - 10/15
Polk, Volusia, Pasco - 10/18
Hillsborough - N/A(?)

So, we're looking at two hell weeks in a row this year (10/8-10/11 and 10/15-10/18)

We only have a sitter for one night of our trip, so were doing Wednesday 10/20 with express pass in hopes of lower mid week crowds being able to get all the houses done. Can you do the latter part of your trip for HHN? Based on the info above it seems it may be less busy?

Nice. We are there HW#1, as our district has a 4 day weekend. I knew RPR was a good idea! I wish Universal would sell me some HHN tickets already though…
