This one was unexpected. Disney might need to step their game up for MNSSHP next year if Universal is going to be an alternative for younger Halloween activities in the future

Yeah not sure why Disney is not doing any trick or treating. Pretty easy to do safely

Universal is a bunch of agists. Adults like candy too. I would definitely go trick or treating at IOA when I’m there next month

When COA starts having carpets crashing into each other, and catching fire, we can have a conversation

That can never happen, jeez. I mean what do you think those two "spitin" camels are there for?

Only extending operating hours in that one park by one hour on that one day...I do wonder if it is a glitch or if they are testing the waters...

I think the latter. Those of us on this board, and I’m sure other outlets and things they listen to, have been saying we’d love some semblance of evening hours for some time. I think Disney brass may be testing to see if they can draw a few more reservations, or spread arrivals, with later hours.

I can see maybe a stage show for the holidays. Short one to test the waters

But, but...Magic Kingdom has a cupcake that looks like a mummy!

(yes, yes, they don't need to be pressured by Universal...)

We had a great day at HS today. We arrived by bus at around 9:05. It looked like they started allowing parking at 9:10, and they started checking temps at 9:15. It was crowded right away and stayed busy until about 4:00, after which the crowds dropped off quite a bit. It also cooled down significantly, to around 77 degrees, so those last couple hours were very nice. We rode every ride, many of them twice, and had a snack at Oga’s, a mid-afternoon meal at Sci-Fi, and a drink break. We left right at 7:00, but there were very few people at the bus stops, supporting my theory that most visitors are not staying on site. Mask compliance and enforcement were great all day. Social distancing in lines was great, but a challenge when moving from place to place.

There is no benefit to staying on site. They need to bring back extra magic hours if they want people to pay the inflated prices.

I don’t know, the set up for Universal Studios’ trick-or-treating looks a little sketch.

Ima need everyone that goes this weekend to please be on their best behavior. I would ideally like 4 houses, even if I have to extend my trip to get them all, but at the very least 2 of the house if that rumor turns out to be false

sort of on topic: I’m sure @yulilin3 will know, maybe someone else will too. If I get an AP for Universal, is it like Disney where it doesnt start until I scan in for the first time, or does the clock start as soon as I purchase?

Starts the day you scan it.
