Halloween Horror Nights and Annual pass holders

[waltslostnephew]

Hello, will be doing our first HHN this October 26th. We are Annual Pass holders and was wondering if we get to the parks around 4:30pm, and we have HHN passes, do you just stay in the park while it closes at 6pm for the HHN or do you have to get a special wristband, pass, etc. to stay in the park for the HHN to start or do you have to exit the park and come back in. How does this work? Thanks. Also is it best to buy tickets online before then? T

Best to look at the HHN stickie as answers lots of questions. Yes, as long as you have a valid ticket or AP, you can stay in the park, and by 5pm you are to enter a stay and scream area, by scanning your HHN ticket/scan AP if day premier pass free ticket being used. Then you can eat, drink and relax, though lines start to form as houses have a line or lines to the houses closest to the holding area. And bonus, they usually let the holding areas out around 5:45pm or so, thus giving you a jump on around 2 to 4 houses with minimal lines, before the gates open around 6:30pm.

You can stay in the park if you enter before closing...4:30 is a good bet...that's what time I usually get there. You will need to purchase tickets and Express Passes beforehand just so there are no problems.

If I buy tickets online before we go, can I pick them up at the front desk of the hotel we are staying at which is Portifino Bay? Thanks

Yes, can pick them up, but from the attractions desk that is in the lobby. I did my online one at Royal a few weeks ago. Nice to have a credit card sized ticket.

Oh and park closes at 5 sharp, and they close the front gates around 5 pm, as I can attest, a few of us ran like the wind, and they let us, barely. Then no one can enter until 6:30 when they open the gates.
