[babesboo99]

I have a AP does that make a difference? also is it cheaper to buy the FFP with EP or buy everything separately?

AP discounts have not been released yet. Wait until those discounts are released to make your decision.

This year will my wife and my first time at HHN. We will be there on Oct 2nd and I was wondering if we will need the Express Pass to be able to do all the houses? Also if they bring back the Rocky Horror Picture Show show we would like to check that out too. So with wanting to see a show and all of the houses, will we need Express Pass even this early in the month, and a Thursday too boot.

You will be going at the right time...early in the event on a weeknight. Still...lines can get very long any night so the only way to guarantee yourself of seeing all the houses is to purchase the Express Pass. Having an EP never hurts and if you are planning on using the S & S holding areas, that will help you even more.

I always buy express, but early in the season if you do S&S, you will easily see all of the houses without express. I usually run through them all once without even though I have it. You can have all of the houses done in under two hours.

Never having been, how does it help more?

if you start the hhn event by waiting in the holding area, you have a head start on 3 of the houses.

some houses will be open for the early group already in the park.

by the time you complete 3 houses, it could be about 6:30 pm and the outside lines are then allowed to enter the park.

express passes are great if you only have one night to do hhn.
it allows you to use the express lines for the houses which can cut back the wait time compared to the regular wait lines.

each house has the regular line and the express line.
Bill and Teds show honors the express pass for the first show of the night.
the rides will honor the express pass also.

if you are going on 2 or 3 hhn nights, you could break up the houses and do them on different nights without buying the express pass.

When do they usually release AP discounts?

Oh the anticipation....

i bought my hhn passes with express with the AP discount last week.
did it by calling the online store.

 

[macraven]

i called the online ticket number this morning and was able to buy the AP
FF + express and one friday night AP rate.

the TM that worked with me said she could get the order to go through by using galaxy. it is another way to process the passes for AP holders.

if you call and can not get your order completed w/the AP rate, ask the TM to process your request with galaxy.

hope this helps someone until the AP site glitch is fixed.

this post of mine is 3 pages back.
i bought the tickets last week and had them delivered to my house.

Apparently the AP discounts are available if you call.

Very cool, thanks. I didn't realize being in the holding area would get you a head start on the outside crowd.

once the entire park is cleared by security, the TM's will release all in the SnS/holding area in the park to begin doing the houses.

on some dates in the past, i have been out of the holding area at 5:45.
other times between 6-6:10.

usually it is 3 houses open for those inside the park.

once the outside gates are opened at 6:30, you will have already completed some houses and will be ahead of the crowds.

depending on when you go, you will find a few houses opening at 7:00 pm.
don't know if that will be the case this hhn season but it has happened in the past years.

We're going 9/25, so it should be interesting. We've got reservations at Finnegans for 5 that night, which sounds just about right.

so anyone with both valid day and HHN admission can stay in the holding areas after closing?

just making sure. there Sept 24 - Oct 4 & plan to purchase the 3 park unlimited Universal Ticket from UT and Rush of Fear.

Hi!
Not sure if this was posted before, so I apologize in advance if it was...
But if I bought the 1 day base ticket and went to IoA during the day, will I still get early admission into HHN if I buy the Stay and Scream Pass?
Thanks!

a couple of past years there were an entrance for IOA into the studios for that.
don't know at this point if it will exist for 2014.

it is much easier for you to have a P2P one day ticket and enter the studios around 4:45 and go directly to the SnS holding areas.

 

[Corryn]

Okay, Thanks!

 

[alrightguy]
