Halloween Horror Nights 2013

[MMitchell29]

HHN's last night is 11/2 which is Saturday so either Sunday/Monday or Monday/Tuesday would be fine. Crowd levels will be low whichever days you choose.

Thank you for your input Would you happen to know if all the rides will be up and running as usual ?

Nothing is listed on the website as being closed except for Fear Factor...it's a toss up if that show will be open.

I am curious. How many people in here play the legendary truth the collective interactive game? What legion are you? I am a Kerezan.

I'm a Baccanoid. New task tonight! Details at 730

My fiancee and I just recently decided to add a day at Universal to our Disney honeymoon. We really wanted to spend a day hopping between the two parks then buy the "stay and scream" option and spend the evening getting our scared-y pants on.

I was curious if I needed to buy the whole shebang at once, or if you can add the stay and scream tickets on later? I don't mind buying it at once if I have to, but this leads m to my second question...

I wanted to know if I could buy the Universal tickets that are available through Dreams Unlimited that include taxi fare and still add on "stay and scream"? I'm just not positive how the add on works.

Lastly, what are the chances that Halloween night will sell out for Halloween Horror Nights. It is a Thursday night and I noticed it was in the least expensive price bracket so I thought it might not end up selling out. I may be very wrong, though.

Thanks!!!

You can purchase the S & S add on at any time...you only have to have a theme park ticket for that day which you will.

Halloween night is historically not a busy night so you should be OK.

Ok this is not really a relevent question now but when can I start planning for 2014 ? I am a HUGE chicken and Hubby is looking to go to HHN so we are going to go with another group . I am going to suck it up and just walk into the park as they go into the houses . When can I start to plan my nightmare trip ? LOL I am good with the zombies that just run up to you and stuff I am not good in small houses and tight areas ..

any info is great I guess planning in Feb or March is too early ? Only because I got great airfare then for my WDW trip this Nov. \

What? There are tickets thru DU that include taxi fare? We have always done it separately.

I am thinking of tagging along on Oct 20 for HHN. Does anyone know if nights have sold out yet? We will already be in the park on that day so I would just buy a S&S and the Express pass.

My dad and I are not big fans of horror movies etc, but I love the walking dead so went to HHN on October 5th and enjoyed it. Went in the three houses I wanted to see. All in All great time and will go back

Great to meet up with you, sharky and pax and their spouses!

It was fantastic to spend time together.

Marco, sleep is highly overrated...
Sleep on the plane tomorrow.

I will wave at 3:00 tomorrow.

Have to say that AMerican werewolf and walking dead houses were winners tonight.

Agree with youse on the house list..

 

[macraven]

Having the express pass tonight was we'll worth it.

Did 3 houses in the regular lines, and started seeing time waits 60 minutes for werewolf and another one around 7:20.

Did hit all 8 houses w/ ep and both shows at the end of the night.
Crowds just were not there in the last hour.

Just ordered the HHN Express passes for Oct 31. Now I'll keep my fingers crossed that the night doesn't sell out since I won't be getting the actual admission to the event until we arrive on Oct 30 (I'm not too worried, but that would be just my kind of luck). I did notice that MNSSHP has sold out on the 31st! Probably a good thing though, since everyone will be over there.

A question about the will call kiosks. I was under the impression the kiosks were available at the on-site hotels and the plan was to pick up our tickets the night we arrive (very late on Oct 29) so that we wouldn't have to mess with it in the morning. I noticed on my confirmation, however, this information about the kiosks "...only located at the front gate..."

Only at the front gate

We got back from our trip late Saturday night and our first HHN experience. Had a total blast and already have my room reserved for next year.

Afterlife was the hands down house winner for us. Totally wowed us. AWIL and Walking Dead were awesome also. I already can't wait for next year!!

The kiosks are in the extreme right hand side before you get to the main Studio gates. They are over by outside Guest Services office.

HHNs was pretty fun this year. We went last Thursday, Oct. 3rd. No rain this time so we got to see everything except Rocky Horror.

Enjoyed most of the houses. Unfortunately, the only time we went in Cabin, a video crew entered right before us and really ruined the house. I was livid. The only comfort is that they will have have to edit out the grumpy old man sneering at them throughout the house (me).

Favorite had to be AWIL. Those wolfs were awesome.

And the queue lines for TWD are super long. I think we walked a mile just to get to the entrance of that house and a half mile through the exit queue.

I was at HHN Hollywood last night so I wasn't able to do the task.

From the Universal website I see this:

================================
If I purchase a daytime park ticket to Universal Studios Florida or Universal’s Islands of Adventure, will it include Halloween Horror Nights?
A daytime park ticket does NOT include Halloween Horror Nights, as this is a separately ticketed event.

You may upgrade your daytime ticket to include Halloween Horror Nights by purchasing a Stay and Scream ticket (includes both daytime and Halloween Horror Nights admission) at the same time you purchase your regular ticket. The Stay & Scream ticket does not have to be used on the same day you visit the theme parks during regular park hours.


=================================

Is that correct? Any experiences?

Could I do this to get a 2 day ticket? Day one do IOA, and day two get in as early as possible (when would that be?) and do US (as many rides as they leave open) and then enjoy some of the Halloween festivities as well?

You must have a separate ticket for HHN and in order to do S & S, you must be inside the Studios prior to the 5PM closing the night you are going. During the day nothing changes...the Studios is 100% just like any other day. During HHN only a limited number of attractions are open along with the houses and shows.

What that means is that you can buy a HHN ticket at the Stay and Scream price, but if you use it on a different day than your day pass, you'll have to wait outside of the front gates for HHNs to begin. You can only take advantage of the Stay and Scream holding area if you use the HHNs ticket on the same day that you used the day pass.
