Halloween Horror Nights 2013

[Metro West]

Sorry if this is buried in a thread but I searched and couldn't find it. I have a costco 3 day ticket to Universal Studios that expires in 2014. I want to go to HHN this year.

Does this ticket allow me to purchase stay and scream tickets?

As long as the ticket has been activated by the time you go you can purchase the HHN tickets at the S & S discount.

I've used it once already. Can I buy the S and S tickets online or do I have to call or go to gate? Thanks for quick response!

You should be able to buy online since you have the tickets in hand. You will need the barcode on the back of the ticket.

Hi All My husband and I will be at Disney for a week in October and we are thinking about adding a night to go to HHN but I have a question. I LOVE Halloween and scary movies but I don't care much for haunted houses. I just love the creepy atmosphere and the roaming actors. Since I don't care much for haunted houses would this be a complete waste for us? Other than the houses is there anything else to really do?

Thanks,
Tina

I would say that if you are a big fan of "The Walking Dead" then it would be worth it. All of the outside scare zones will be dedicated to the series. There is also a "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Bill and Ted" comedy show you can watch. Also, their most popular rides like "Transformers" will be operating.

To me though, the houses are my favorite part of HHN and I would recommend trying at least one or two.

From what has been hinted on the Evil Takes Root blog, they're either announcing the La Llorona maze or the original house that there's not a lot of info on, other than it having to do with the execution of a killer by electric chair.

Mama is not the source for any houses in Orlando this year.

 

[ashearer]

Am I right to say this year they are:

The Evil Dead

The Walking Dead

The Cabin in the Woods.


How many houses are there?is there age restrictions DD is 15 although DS is 21 and will be accompanying her.

There should be a total of eight houses this year...only three have been announced so far. There is no age restrictions for HHN...a 15 yo should be fine in the houses.

Your DD will be fine, as long as she knows what the event is going to be like. I was 13 or 14 my first HHN!

I love TWD so this is really cool to hear and I would enjoy seeing that. I think we will go and I may even check out a few houses.

Thanks

How does stay and scream work?

So, my friends and I are staying at the Royal Pacific in October for HHN...I have a question about stay and scream....can you go the park and then leave, go back to the hotel and then to the holding area with your stay and scream ticket? OR do you have to stay in the park the entire time?

I'm asking because we'd like to do Islands of adventure on the Saturday we're there and then do HHN that night (we're also doing HHN the night before) but I don't think I can stay in the park all day until 2am....and we'll definitely be staying till the end of the night for HHN.

If anyone can clarify this for me that would be great!

Thanks!

you can leave and reenter the park if you have the park to park tickets.
leave ioa and return to your hotel, but be back at the studios before 4:50 so you can enter the park.
go directly to the stay and scream area at the studios.
if you are not in the park before 5:00, there is another way for you to enter for the SnS area.

in the past years, there is a special entrance for onsite hotel guests.
you are allowed to enter through it at specific times.
think it was 6-8:00.

Just make it back before they close the park before 4 pm I think. Did that last year park morning back to hotel nap back to park to holding area... The best way to go...

 

[lili1126]

thanks! confused though...I have to have the ticket that allows me to go to both parks? Is that because HHN is held at Universal and we wanted to do Islands of Adventure so stay and scream won't work if you're only going to Islands of Adventure? Just wanted to make sure I'm understanding this...

Better to be on holding area before.. Did the early entrance one year had to wait on line to get in..
Holding area your ready to go hit the houses with little or no lines...

Yes you need 2 park ticket or one if you do the studios. And as PP said its 5 pm I got there early by 4 last year.. You hang out in the pen with the cool people LOL ...

I would definitely recommend you buy The Express ticket so you can skip the lines (once) at each house... The lines could take so long it will be scarier than the themed houses!!!

 

[lili1126]

Ok, thanks everyone! I appreciate the advice...it's my first time at HHN! I'm terrified and excited all at the same time! LOL I can't wait...it's going to be a BLAST!

Thanks Dillianmarie, we're going 2 nights in a row...so we're just hoping to see everything in the 2 nights we're there...I don't think we're buying express passes...I'm going with 13 people it's hard to get everyone to do the same thing.

you need a park ticket to enter the studios to get to the SnS area.

the hhn ticket allows you to be there for the hard ticket event.
the day ticket allows you to enter the park.

if you have park to park tickets, you can do ioa in the day and return before 5:00 to the studios to enter the park.

if you have a one park ticket only, you can't do both parks that day even if all you need to do is go to the SnS section.

as a hotel guest, you don't need a park ticket to enter the park at 6:00 to go to the SnS holding area.
you show your hotel card and your hhn ticket at that special gate to enter the park at 6:00.
