Eat at Kitchen before HHN?

[samepoohdifferentday]

We are thinking of eating at the Kitchen before going to HHN. Can I park at HRH and then go to HHN after we eat? How much is parking? Do I need a reservation at the Kitchen?

We don't have day passes, so we are just going with HHN tickets. Since we can't stay n scream - what time should we get to Universal Studios?

Should we start lining up at 5:00 to get in at 6:30? Or should we just wait until about 7 to avoid the entrance line up?

We will buy express pass (but not until we get there).

Sorry for so many questions but we could use a lot of advice (going early October).

Thanks!

Since you aren't doing S & S, you could eat anywhere before HHN...but...I would strongly recommend getting in line as soon as 5pm so you are in the front of the mob. Also...I would recommend buying the EP ahead of time since Guest Services is really busy during HHN and that will take more time. There is one thing you can try to get in early. There is an IOA upgrade that costs $15.00/online or $20.00/gate and this will allow you access into IOA to use the side entrance into HHN so you won't have to wait in the line outside (which you really don't want to do). The IOA ticket is good from 4-7pm so you couldn't use it before 4pm. I think you would be wise to do it.

Since HHN is a night time event, parking rates are extended though at least 8pm and sometimes 11pm...depending on the date. The parking fee is $12.00/car.

I called and asked if I could buy this early entry ticket but they said "No" b/c I was calling from Canada. Too bad - that would have been great!

Thanks

You still might want to try and buy them at the gate. Last year anyone could purchase those tickets.
