Halloween Horror Nights 2013

How would you rate the houses on a claustrophobia scale? 1-10. I can usually handle houses that do not have tunnels to crawl in or small enclosed spaces to get through.

I have heard that the houses are ADA compliant, so I am hoping that there will be no crawling through tunnels or anything narrower than a wheelchair could go through.

Any other claustrophobia issues during HHN?

Last year I saw none like that seemed like there was plenty of room..

Last year there was one small section in the Universal Monsters house where you were supposed to crawl/kneel thru. Next to it however was a path you could use to easily bypass this small section if you needed or wanted. (After my first time thru the tunnel, I took the bypass just because I'm tall and not a huge fan of crawling down the path.)




Back to the sell-out question: What is the risk of HHN event tickets selling out in advance of 10/24? Unfortunately I won't be in Orlando until that day so I won't be able to use my Premier AP "non-peak" coupon until that day.

If there is a serious chance of the event tickets selling out, I guess I can just go ahead and buy the ticket.

yea, i showed you the way last year.
you couldn't have made that bend over walk area.
you are Too Tall..........


all the lines inside the house can accomodate w/c but not power chairs.
in some sections in past houses, an alternate route is set up for w/c.
i know.
i used a w/c before at hhn.

All my years going to DW we have never been to US. We are finally going. Plan to hit Halloween Horror nights. I am sure this is a dumb question but we have never been and are confused about the tickets. We purchased out main gate tickets from ticket mama.com...now do we only need to purchase a stay and scream ticket from the website? Not the general admission one, correct?
Then how does that work? we are asked to leave and re enter the park?
Thanks.

 

[macraven]

buy your stay and scream tickets while you are in the park that day.

when the park closes at 5:00, don't leave but go to the holding area.


if you leave the park at closing time, you will have to wait in the line outside the park until it opens at 6:30 pm.




since you bought your hhn tickets from a source other than UO, it won't allow you to buy the SnS ticket (discounted tix) in advance.
you can buy your ticket anytime you are in the park.

 

[Shelly]

Thanks. Is there any chance the SNS tickets are sold out when at the park?
Also, if I purchase the FOTL pass Is it good for later at the Halloween horror nights? Will I be able to pre purchase that?
I am figuring this out. Thanks so much.

 

[Shelly]

We have pre purchased our park tickets so we cannot pre purchase stay and scream tickets, but can we pre purchase Rush of fear tickets w/o purchasing admission?
Also, do we have to have daily admission to get into Halloween horror nights?
Trying to figure out the best plan of action. If we purchase stay and scream at the park how much more does it cost than the pre purchase?

You don't have to purchase daily admission to the theme park. Daily Admission tickets and Halloween Horror Night tickets are separate tickets you purchase ..HHN only occurs on special nights from 6:30-12 0r 2am. Like how Mickey's Very Merry Christmas event is a separate park event you purchase special tickets for.

You can go ahead and get Rush of Fear tickets now...I just did

Wish I could have purchased ROF + express, but just couldn't afford it this year :-(
Oh well, if I miss something, I have three weekends to try and catch it.

If you bought your park tickets from Uni, if you call them they can look up your order and you can pre-purchase stay and scream tickets. The website lists them as about $50+tax per night. Rush of Fear if bought on the website is right at $80 including tax, and you can go all the nights listed on the website.

While you don't need daily admission for HHN, if you're in the park before it closes to do stay and scream, you get a head start on the houses as those people are let out before they open the front gates. This is especially useful if you decide not to buy and Express Pass.

 

[amityisland]

Did anyone do the early admission for annual passholders last year for the first two weekends I think? I remember we could sign up on the website and they let us in a little early for 3 of the houses...I wonder if they'll be doing that again.

 

[RAPstar]

HHN tickets rarely sell out, except maybe closer to Halloween. You should be fine waiting to purchase them the day of. HHN has a separate express pass you'd have to purchase. Prices are on the website. What are the date(s) you are going to HHN? That will help a lot with planning.

That will probably be released when they release all the details for this year. That's usually later in August.

there are no fotl passes.
there are express passes.

the regular park ep's are valid for the park until it closes.


if you are doing hhn, you can buy the express pass for that event.

the regular park ep's do not carry over to the hhn event.

SnS is the discounted hhn ticket.
they rarely sell out but the hhn ep's can.

hhn ep can be bought in advance.

Thanks so much for the info! I will use the bypass sections for sure.

Hi everyone!

My fiancé and myself are travelling to Orlando on 27th October this year for our honeymoon (we get married on the 26th yaaaay!) for 7 nights. We are doing mainly disney (staying on site there) but we will be having 2 days at universal and really want to do the Halloween party as we think the disney party may be a bit more family friendly and we really love being scared/horror films etc!

The only night for that week that I can see us being able to go is thrusday 31st October,but do you think it will be too crowded to enjoy it?

I know Thursdays are meant to be quieter but with it actually being Halloween I'm wondering if it will just be mad busy anyway? We would be buying express passes but I think I read somewhere that you can still queue an hour with an express pass,I'm not sure that it would be worth all the money for us if we aren't going to get to see much.

Any advice would be much appreciated thank you everyone!! X

 

[macraven]

thur the 31st shouldn't be crowded.
the park closes at midnight.


that hhn date is on a weekday.
should have lower crowds.


locals probably will take their kids trick/treating that evening.

 

[dedex13]

I've decided to go on Halloween, hoping the crowds won't be unbearable. Along with what Mac said, I am hoping the local teenagers will want to dress up and so will go elsewhere as well.
