We had a bit of a lie in this morning before heading to Busch Gardens. We weren't too bothered about getting on all the rides as we had booked a VIP tour for Howl O Scream that included access to the main 4!!!!!
It was fairly quiet when we arrived and just had a stroll round, taking in a beer tasting session.
The park closed at 5pm and we had to check in for our tour at 7pm, so we had a drive round and looked in some stores. I also took the opportunity to have my eyebrows waxed - they did a really good job lol.
We arrived back at Busch Gardens for Howl O Scream. We did this for the first time last year and really enjoyed it. We had booked a VIP Viewing Tour, which included front of line access to all Haunted Houses, front of line to Montu, Kumba, Shiekra & Gwazi, Free photo and free beers/drinks.
We checked in and got our lanyards, glowstick necklace and wristband to show we were over 21 for beer. Our tour guide was Tyler and he seemed really excited too.
We headed off to a special entrance at 7:30 with our party of 10 others. First house was called After Hours, Last Call and it was FAB!!!!! Best house of all. After this was a free beer stop - 1 Bud Light Lime for me mmmmm and a water for DH - hahaha he was the driver home - only fair as he drank on the flight. After the beer stop another house then onto Montu. My fav coaster and we got to reride straight away. After montu another free beer stop and then headed over to another house. To try not to bore you, it was mainly house, free beer stop, ride, free beer stop, etc. It was a really great night. Well worth the extra $59 dollars we paid for the tour - we drank not far off this amount so it nearly paid for itself.
Not sure if every tour would be like this or not, as our tour guide was really wild and seemed up for making sure we had a really good time.
The other nice thing was that the park seemed quiet and not rammed packed like HHN can be.
You probably can guess my next comment - 100 times better than HHN this year. If you can, get yourselves over to Busch for Howl O Scream - FAB!!!!
We drove back, arriving in Orlando around 00:30 and grabbed a sandwich from Seven eleven before bed.
Tomorrow - EPCOT
