October visit to UO/IOA with no plans for HHN?

[holcomb-mania]

I'm trying to plan our itinerary for our Oct 27-Nov 3 trip. Beginning Nov 1, UO closes at 6pm instead of 7pm. I'd like to have that extra hour, and it looks like HHN is on Oct 28, Oct 31, and Nov 1-3.

I think I just answered my question. I was wondering if there would be crowd issues on the HHN days and whether to avoid them. I was looking at the 30th, 31st or 1st.

I'm no rocket scientist, but am I correct in thinking the 30th is prolly the way to go?

you plan to go to the parks on dates of hhn but not attend hhn?????


wow.......just the opposite of me.


from the last years i have been attending hhn, i can tell you that the parks start to get the crowds around 3:00.
people are coming in to the parks in order to catch a few rides, grab a bite to eat and go to the stay and scream area at 5:00.

it wil not be crowded before noontime. some crowds might form around 2ish but by 3, many more people will be in the parks.

IOA will close at 6:00 and the studios will close at 5:00 on the days hhn will be happening.

Thanks.

Yeah, no interest whatsoever in HHN or MNSSHP. I'll use that $300 to board our Dane.


eta: We're doing most of the trip at Disney (DVC ya'll), with trips to UO/IOA (I have a pfd AP) and Seaworld, and hitting Blizzard Beach and Disneyquest. We'll rest when we get home!

Crowds will be light, you'll have a great time.

In the afternoon, more people will show up, but before noon, you can easily tour with short waits. Good weather too.
