HHN is on every Friday-Sunday, plus they add days during the week. It's a separately ticketed event, so you have to pay to get in. Your day ticket is not valid for HHN. There are haunted houses, plus scareactors everything trying to scare you silly. Almost all the rides are open, as well. It's a great experience.

Does the slash mean that they have it on Sat. nights. The last and only frightnight we did was when it was at Universal most likely in'99. We had an O.K. time but didn't think we'd ever try it again but then we watched it on the travel channel and though we'd give it a 2nd chance. I'm glad we did give US and IOA a 2nd chance last year because we had a blast this time Spiderman(4X) and MIB(lost count) do i have to say more. I'm still a Disney lover but US is it's own kinda fun hmmm. i guess i'll just have to use what has become a dirty word in my house and EXTEND(DH is somewhere shivering as i type this word) our vacation to include both. Boy i'm now glad i gamble that we'd like it and got in on the BK deal(season past until '05). I know that FN is a hard ticket event but we will most likely go first thing in the morning and do our favorites at each park and then onto FN for the evening. Thanks for your help?

Saturday nights are VERY BUSY! Though if you do the stay & scream (where you wait from park close till 630 or so in the Enchanted Oak), you can get a head start on the haunted houses.

I'm also very certain they will do HHN express again.

What is HHN express they didn't have this when we went? Would Sun. night be a better pick? My DH has a very limited stay this time and we really only want to make one trip to US as our main reason for this trip is the Food & Wine Festival at WDW. For my dates could you help me figure out which might be less crowded keeping in mind we want a full US day. We arrive on Thurs. Oct 14 so it's out also no to Mon. 18 due to Epcot and he is going home on the 19th. Thanks for your help and i enjoyed the marshmallow shake you recomended.

Sunday HHN nights are less crowded than Saturday HHN nights.

Saturdays = 2hr waits
Sundays = 30-45 minute waits

They implemented HHN express when they moved HHN to IOA. It's a separate, purchase-only, express, and it's the only express, other than a VIP tour, that is honored. HHN express is also less expensive on a Sunday ($15 or $20 per person vs $25-$30 per person for Fri/Sat). This express allows one express access to heach haunted house, each attraction, and the 1st Bill & Ted show.

USF will be open 9-7 all month, but you'll want to leave around 6 so you can get in line for HHN admission...

Are the wait times you posted with or without HHN express. It look like Sunday would be our best shot. When do they post the dates for this event.

 

[the Dark Marauder]

Those are without the express. And dates are usually posted in mid-September.
