halloween horror nights for next year (2014)

[macraven]

I knew I had read the answer somewhere (or something close) - please forgive me for posting, I sincerely can't find it!

We have a multi-day park hopper ticket that includes HHN admission (not purchased from US). Is it possible to add HHN Express Pass or even a RIP Tour to an already purchased ticket?

We are going Friday, Sunday and Thursday - if we can add, which would be the best night?

Thanks for any info! SO looking forward to our 4th HHN!

you can buy the express pass.
it is a separate ticket.

go to www.halloweenhorrornights.com and buy the ep on the site.
out of the 3 nights, i would go with friday for the ep if i could only chose one.

the RIP tours are not an add on.
you need to call to book either the non private or private vip rip tour.
cost depends on the date you book and type of tour.

i booked my tour when they were released.

Thanks Macraven! I knew you would know! Will check to see if any RIP's are available for our dates, if not, we'll add Express to one night. Skipping a few things we usually do at Disney (dessert party & MNSSHP) so we can upgrade HHN!

i book the rip tour on a friday.
fridays usually have crowds but my tour is over at 2:00 am so i don't have to deal with any crowds.

if you book friday with the tour, get the express pass for sunday.
that is another night that has grown a lot crowdwise in the past 3-4 years.
and HHN is over at 1:00 am on sundays.

2 questions.. 1. I just checked the calender and I was wondering why does IOA closes at 7 or 8 on HHN nights I thought they close at 5 to set up ( maybe it's a mistake). 2. I was wondering what the tours were since this is the first time we are going to HHN

 

[mischief32]

IOA closes that that time because HHN is only at Universal Studios. You can check out the official HHN webpage to get information on the tours offered.

How intense do the haunted houses get. This will be our first time going down for HHN and I'll be 28 weeks pregnant by then. DH and I love Halloween, Haunted Houses, and all things involved. Typically I would have no issue with going through Haunted Houses around here, much more just navigating through the dark and actors jump out at you, etc. However, I've done a few houses that are more physically challenging like climbing through confied spaces and being chased. Do the houses at Universal get on more of the physical side?

They sometimes can have physical aspects and you can get pushed and shoved by other people in the house.

They can also be very over stimulating.

it's usually a congo line style in going thru the houses.
if the person in front of you jumps back, ouch for the toes......

The last two years there has been an area in the maze in the Parade Building(an original is going in there this year) where you had to crouch to get through, but there should be an alternate path so you don't have to if you either don't want to or unable.

Actually, you can purchase an RIP (non-private) as an add-on if you're buying a HHN vacation package. It's how I got mine over a month ago.

i don't do the packages with room, tickets, etc, but many do prefer to go that way.


i booked my private tour the day they were released.

this year, the rip tours were released very early compared to past years.
all those add ons were available on the website without buying a package.


the only thing i am waiting to be released is the unmasking the horror tours.

i should have been clearer.


if you have a day hhn ticket, you can do an "add on" or some call it the stay and scream discounted hhn ticket.
buy a day ticket and get the hhn ticket cheaper so you don't have to pay full price for it/hhn.

what i was referring to in a previous post was the stay/scream discounted ticket which many refer to as the "add on".

sorry to have confused anyone.

.....I believe that when WDW has EE at night, those guests that aren't staying on-site aren't necessarily 'kicked out' of that park, but they do not get to do some of the premium rides/attractions. We will be going to this year's F&WF and planned on visiting US/IoA on October 31 (I know, I know - that's THE day to be there!) but it's designated as one of those 'Halloween Horror Nights'. What is their policy? Now, I don't want to try and sneak in on anything - in fact, I'm a big scaredy-cat and DO NOT want to have anything to do with HHN, but I will be paying a lot on two one-day park-hopper passes and I don't want to have to leave early....TIA!

 

[RMulieri]

HHN is held at the studios only ...AT 5pm you are asked to leave.There is no staying in the park without a party ticket.IOA is still open a little longer

 

[kimmar067]

.....we're purchasing a park-hopper so we can go on Escape from Gringott's and also be able to experience the Hogwarts Express....

 

[kimmar067]

.....sooooo, I'm guessing that we should start our day at US and wind up at IoA...

 

[RMulieri]

.....we're purchasing a park-hopper so we can go on Escape from Gringott's and also be able to experience the Hogwarts Express....

Start in the Studios and end in IOA..Diagon alley is not open during the HHN anyway and will close with the park.Not sure what time they will stop people from getting into line for Gringotts

 

[kimmar067]

....wow. A bit more harsh than WDW...and so early...what a bummer!

 

[kimmar067]

....believe me, I certainly don't want to wait around for any creepy-crawlies, but isn't it still light out at 5PM?
