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

[Elle :)]

Public tours I have done are usually 3-4 hours long
Or however long it takes to do all houses and a few rides
They usually have a couple of break times for drinks/food

Your start time is set up when you book it
Public tours start time is staggered with maybe 4 choices
I prefer doing the public tours at the first scheduled time of the start of them

private tours last most of the night or about closer to park closing time
It’s up to the owner of the tour to decide
When I book the private tour, we are ready to call it a night before the event is over.
A few years we ended at 1:30 as most wanted to catch the water taxis back to the hotel
( water taxis stop running at 2 on the weekends)

Both tours will have light refreshments at a point during the evening
RIP tours have started booking but there is plenty of time to decide if you want to do them.
Saturday is the one night tours might fill up

Park hours for hhn should be in the website
Usually Friday and Saturday nights last close to 2 am

prices vary based on night you attend as closing hours vary based on day you go.

Public tours cap out at 12 in the group
Private holds to 10

If you have a group of more than 6, you need to book the private tour not public tiur
No idea if times will change this year
Tours are an add on so you still need to have the hhn park ticket

private tours can request how they may want their tour to be
Rides, repeat houses, bar stops, scare zones, sit and take breaks, etc
Public tours event your evening is determined by the tour guide
But public tours will do each house and scare zone once
Last public tours I have done did include a ride as we had available time

I can only say how tours have gone for me
Never know until hhn opens if any new pattern will happen

All tours do a break for drink and food for a limited time period and rest room and drink stand stops
Last few years it was LaBamba where we did a break, free food and soda/ water
No charge for the above
Alcohol was available for sale
( no free booze, sorry)

Peeps that book tours pay when booked
Emails are sent out days prior of your tour with info for meeting up ( location, time, etc)

Sorry this is so long... peeps that know me will say I talk too much when it comes to hhn....
I get carried away as I ♥ this event

2021 will be my 27th year of going to hhn

I think many will agree with me when I say thank you for such a robust post!! You helped answer a lot of my questions (and as a HHN newbie, I have a lot of them). Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We just received our t-shirts!


DS normally wears Large, I bought him an XL and it fits him loosely but after a good wash and hang dry I'm sure it will be perfect.

Some nights sell out faster than others
I think Saturday is the one day of the week gets a shut out but it does not happen at the beginning of hhn or near end of the event.

Columbus Day week usually is packed
That used to be my time period to go

I got tired of long lines and crowds and switched to the time period prior
Flights, room rates I found at better rates when I avoid that 3 day holiday period weekend.

Weird, I'm not receiving email notifications on any thread including the ones I host! What would cause that?

When that happens to me, I turn my phone off, wait a few minutes and then turn it back on

it resets then for me

 

[FoxC63]

I shut my phone off every night while charging. This has been going on for a week.

Nice! Is it the soft cotton blend vs that 100% scratchy & heavy material?

I tend to just hit unwatchable, then watch on the various threads.

 

[FoxC63]

Info is printed on the back which is awesome, DS cuts tags off due to the feel.
Fabric is 100% cotton and it's soft!
It definitely will shrink if put in a dryer. Hang dry my friends, hang dry

 

[FoxC63]

Also fabric is light weight but not at all like slub fabric seen below.


I'm very happy with the quality.

I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Done! But how do you do that on PM's because I'm not receiving those either. Here are my choices:

When I get that I turn my phone off and then back on
Solves the problem for me and updates what I missed in the thread

 

[FoxC63]

We'll see what happens. I've unwatched, watched, logged out, restarted my computer then logged back in and the cell is turned off.

Maybe a stupid question but has your email suddenly decided that the notification emails are spam? Mine will do that sometimes with my social media notification emails.

haven’t had an issue with the email notifications for PMs

My besties emails tend to wind up in my Junk file (yahoo). Doesn’t matter if i repeatedly add to VIP status etc. So frustrating.

Not stupid but what is, I didn't check that!

Check your Preferences setting and verify that “and receive email notifications” is checked. I prefer not to receive emails, so my email options are turned off.

Yup, all good to go on Preferences, I'll have to look into my email settings. Can't believe I didn't check that!

FYI on the Jack t-shirt: DH tried his on last night, he normally wears an XL and I bought him an XXL. At first he was hesitate but afterwards he said it was a good call, the neckband would have been too snug on an XL. Again, the shirt fit a bit loose but washing in cold, hang dry I fervently believe it will fit him perfectly.

Good to know Fox, as my guy I tend to buy a HHN shirt for, generally wears an XL or wears a xxl, so maybe I’ll see if a xxxl is available when I am there in August. I almost always hang dry clothes. And tend to always wash in cold water. Otherwise I will wait and see if the AP HHN shirt comes available, as have bought them for years now, and they seem to have run more true to size.
