Halloween Horror Nights 2013

[RobynDunk]

First time to HHN, so want to make sure I work this correctly. We will be going to HHN on the 23rd with a S&S ticket, then to IoA the next day. So am I able to go to the holding area early or not? How do I get there?

Thanks,

I am planning to attend HHN for the first time and want to use early entry. We would prefer to go to IOA and use the crossover since my friend is a Harry Potter fan. Or do we then loose the early entry advantage? In other words, do we have to have access to USF in order to gain early access to the houses? Not an issue for me since I will have an annual pass but my friend won't.

In order to take advantage of the holding area, you would need to already be inside the park before it closes. Since you won't be using your regular park admission until the next day, you won't be in the park already to be able to go to the holding area before park close the day you are attending HHN.

Just to confirm- is it really $91.99 for a single night of the Halloween Horror? Is that only for the Halloween Horror, or does that price include a ticket to one of the parks?

Just HHN.

conga line thru the houses is tight, her toes may suffer if somebody jumps back after a scare.

Excellent point. I was planning on flip flops those nights but think I'll go with tennis shoes instead. Thanks for pointing that out!I

I always wear flip flops to theme parks, but for HHN I wear sneakers. You are walking in the dark and sometimes the surfaces are uneven and/or wet. I just feel safer with my feet enclosed and with good traction.

ME TOO. I feel way too exposed and vulnerable to wear flip-flops during Horror Nights.

I have already ordered our park tickets for our trip. Now, DH wants to attend HHN. Can I add the stay and scream option to our tickets at the parks?

yes you can.. Think about EP if your going on a busy night well worth the $$$ IMHO

Ditto from one who should have listened to those wiser than he: went on a Sunday last year, got in 3 of 7 houses. Crazy big crowd. Spend the money.

I don't know how people do without EP and go to all the houses. I went this past Thursday and did not get to do all the houses because the lines were too long. I had S&S, so we got to start a little early but I was so tired by the end, I didn't want to stand in any more lines. If I ever go again, I will be getting EP.

There were a LOT of people lined up to get in tonight (far more than the same time last night).

Out of interest though - does anyone know why normal entry to the park they just have a quick look into your bag, but tonight there were metal detectors and things (which I didn't have to do this morning when I entered the park)?

The metal detectors have been there every night for HHN as far back as I can remember. Not during the day...just during the event.

Back for my third night. Definitely don't do havoc until after dark - it was practically a lights on house. However I was also basically the only one inside so got hit by everyone. I hope to catch bill and Ted or rocky horror tonight. Sent from my iPhone using DISBoards

Update: so we got 12 houses done. I did havoc, AWIL, walking dead, and afterlife twice and caught bill and Ted. The task for tonight appeared to be visiting the houses in alphabetical order but doing so didn't seem to do anything. We plan on asking Thursday.

I am being talked into going to HHN with my brother. He is quite a bit younger than me and I am worried that I might be too exhausted after a full 17 hrs at the park. Is there somewhere during HHN that I caan rest for a bit or will I get surrounded by zombies and monsters? He wants to be there at rope drop.

Also, can I add an extra day onto my 2day park hopper if needed? TIA

you can upgrade and add another day to your tickets.
do so while you are in the park and before that park closes.

you will paying the difference between the 2 day P to P, from the 3 day P to P tickets.

if you want to take a break during hhn and not be around scare actors, probably sitting in the area around guest services might work out.
in that section is first aid, lost and found, etc.
this is near the front of the park.

if you are already in the park at the studios, you can buy the add on ticket called stay and scream.
you wait in a holding area from 5:00 pm until the park is cleared out.
that could be around 6:00 pm, to start hhn.

Thank you, Macraven, you are always so helpful on these forums and I really appreciate the reply. My brother already has his HHN Stay n Scream plus the Express pass for Oct 20. I figure this is probably the only chance I will get to do this. I do tend to hide under the covers during scary movies but I love Hallowe'en. We are also doing MNSSHP for the first time but I think HHN is a whole new ballgame!

go ahead and try hhn once.
you might get a kick out of it.

get the express if you go on the 20th.
the park is open later that night for hhn.
i am guessing it will have crowds.

you go through the lines conga style so you can't dawdle and really look around.
scareactors inside the house will try to scare you if you don't see them first.

if you cover your eyes during scary movies, wear sunglasses while you do the houses and park that night...........lol
