halloween horror nights for next year (2014)

[macraven]

Actually the second week generally includes a Thursday. We have been going on that night for a few years. And will be there Thursday September 25 this year as well. Can't wait

you are right, the 25th is on the line up this year.
i posted prio9r to the release of 2014 hhn dates.

i based that one post on a past year.

good to see that we are getting more dates for hhn this year.

i'll go back and edit my older post here so there will be no confusion.

Yeah I don't think they did a Thursday in September prior to 2011, but I have gone that night since they started offering it because it seemed less crowded....but last year it was packed and the houses had waits like it was a weekend so I'm not sure it even matters anymore.

We are going to be staying at the HRH this year for the first time we will be arriving on Oct 25th and staying thru Oct 30th then onto Disney. My question is if we want to go to HHN on Oct 25th Oct 26th and then Oct 29th what ticket do I need to purchase? I would like to get mine as soon as they come out

I am so excited for HHN - Cant wait to hear about the theme - we will be going for one night only (25th Sept) so we will be getting the EP. When do they usually release tickets?!

Regular tickets around June, ep's are a little bit later. (I bought mine rush of fear with ep around July last year)

I plan on purchasing a stay and scream ticket for HHN. I read that I dont have to use the HHN ticket and the park ticket on the same day. I plan on going to HHN one day and use the park ticket the next day. When will I be able to enter the park?

if you do not have a park ticket on the day you are doing hhn, you enter at the general opening time.
official opening time for hhn is 6:30 pm.
there are some dates that the gates will open after 6:00 instead of 6:30.

in order to utilize the stay and scream holding site prior to hhn opening, you need to have a park ticket and be in the park prior to 5:00

Is the HHN worth it in terms of the haunted attractions/houses? I've heard that it's so jam packed that you're on top of each other the whole time and it takes away from the entire 'scare' factor.

Oh gosh no..........you get plenty of scares.....plenty!!! I know as I've had loads!!!!

HHN is an amazing event that makes September/October our favourite time to go to Orlando. I've never felt, even at it's busiest that everyone is on top of one another........it gets busy but not that bad!

The houses are amazing......scare actors are fantastic.......and the atmosphere is just the best........even on the busy nights.

If you are only going for one night get the Express Pass to do all the houses.....queues can get very long for houses........but if you are going for multiple nights you can easily get through everything without it, we did last year........first time without EP but still saw everything. Also helps doing Stay and Scream we never bother with the rides that are open on these nights.....we just concentrate on the event itself.

If you've never been you have to go........it's an amazing event and worth every penny

We are headed to Universal late September and our trip will fall during Halloween Horror nights. We want to do 3 days with daytime park-to-park tickets and one night of Halloween Horror.

I was planning on buying our Universal tickets through Undercover tourist, but I want to save money on the Halloween Horror nights tickets if possible.

Should I wait to buy our regular tickets until Horror night ticket info comes out? Can Horror nights be added on to a day ticket? If we go on a Thursday in September for Halloween Horror, should we invest in the Express passes for it? (We are staying at HRH so we'll have the regular Express Pass during the day.) Thanks!

You can add you HHN tickets to you day ticket and it will be cheaper. They had an option to buy the add on online last year but you had to buy your regular park ticket at the same time. You may be able to order them over the phone if you buy your regular park tickets through universal (that way they can look your purchase up in their system). If you're only going to do the one night, express would work great that way you can make sure you see every house at least once.

Thanks. May wait until the "Stay and Scream" tickets are available. And we'll get the Express Pass to see as much as we can.

 

[macraven]

Stay and scream ticket should be your cheapest way to go.

Show your day ticket at guest service/ stores in the park to get this discounted ticket.
Hhn ticket can be for any night.
For September, only last Thursday that month will have hhn.

I already bought my PTP tickets for our trip Oct 25th - Oct 30th can I add on to them with the HHN or do I have to buy the tickets separately now? How much was it last year to add on? We would like to go the Saturday we arrive and then Sunday and the following Wednesday if possible how would I go about buying a ticket for that?

I'm so torn on this. I would absolutely love it but not sure if the gf would like it at all. Do any of the online videos do it justice? I just want to be sure before we drop cash on tickets that it's something she will be able to actually enjoy instead of finding out after the fact.

Online videos don't really do the event justice since videotaping inside the houses is not permitted. HHN is all about blood, guts and gore and in your face scares. If your GF can handle that, take her...if not save your money.

hhn tickets are separate from park tickets.
can't add on to the ptp tickets.

if you bought your ptp tickets from the UO website, you can call, give the confirmation number of that sale and buy the add on/SnS tickets.

if you bought your ptp tickets at another vendor, get the sns tickets once you are at the park.
you can buy them in advance by showing your day ticket.
the SnS tickets do not have to be used the day you buy them.
but, specify for non peak / peak night hhn tickets as they are different in prices.

When will the Halloween Horror night tickets go on sale?

 

[Metro West]

When will the Halloween Horror night tickets go on sale?

Usually the end of June or early July for general admission tickets. The AP tickets and passes won't be able until sometime in August.

 

[thotfulspot]

Forgive me if this has already been asked and answered, but I see that the HHNs start at 6:30 pm. Does that mean that everyone without a ticket for that needs to have left the park by then? And what time do the parks open in early October? I haven't seen anything with park hours, but maybe I just haven't looked in the right place.

TIA!
