For those waiting for APH rates at the deluxe resorts into early October...proceed to go!

Sharp savings for my dates to point I was able to add on another night to a 3 day stay for less $.

Thanks so much for the heads up! Was able to save a couple of hundred dollars.

IMO they’d be smart to wait approx 3 weeks after the parks open to make sure things are working out re the social distancing protocols.

Guessing they might even wait up to two months, have seen tours not be sold until the end of July in the past.

Just caught that the Flex & Flex Plus purchase dates have been extended from June 3 to JULY 22

Was more just hopeful. Im sure they dont want to confirm anything until they are sure its going to happen and how its going to happen.
Dealing with refunds etc - they may as well limit it. Of course they need to be ordering product pretty soon. Id say they lost a fortune on the Mardia Gras stuff. Maybe they we rerun the 25th next year as if this year did not happen.

I think a do-over for 2020 is a great idea all around...

Rumor: From what I have heard the Beetlejuice house is a 99% probability.

I`m not overly keen on the movie, yes, definitely in the minority there...….but this would make a fabulous house...…..

I haven't really heard any rumours apart from what I read on here and other sites, so hopefully it`s true......

 

[poohj80]

We’re very excited about this house after having tix to see Beetlejuice on Broadway in April only to have the world shutdown and the show close before we could see it.

 

[tony67]

Some stuff I have seen on another site that has been sort of discussed here.

Rumors from HHNU
- there will be an app and that is basically a virtual queue for the houses. "the app will then notify them which houses they can go to and when even including whether to use their Express passes "
- Less scare actors- I expected this - hopefully thee will be some sort of scare zone. Talk of scavenger hunts in an app for this to control crowds etc...
- capped attendance - we have all assumed this I think. I wonder if this will be the end of multi night tickets.
- Jack will be the Icon for the digital app

Personally the more I see the less likely Ill go.
It's still a few months away and a lot can happen between now and then - so I can hope for the best I guess.

I totally agree they’ll need to revise their process. Luckily, we went early in the season last year and had plenty of room to spread out even on a Saturday.

Agree with above posters - it was CRAZY crowded and packed tight in those corrals when we went late Oct. The one by finnegans has always led to the most popular IP houses - last year ST and Ghostbusters, so draws the biggest crowds. Cannot see how they could possibly offer this again without major queuing changes.

Barring some major covid resurgence that recloses parks or is truly a danger, we're going...scaled down event or not! Just being there is enough for me...I'll adjust expectations downward if needed.

Just turn on those darn fog machines, save me some pizza fries and let all the special effects fly!

(I also wouldn't hate an encore showing of that gorgeously lit sam/pumpkin scare zone.)

Yeah I pretty much gave up on stay and scream, the whole experience at Finnegan's became unpleasant the last two years - you could not just sit and have a pint like previous years.
No reasonable way they could run it like that this year.

If they dont have something like Ghostbusters\ST that will probably reduce the crowds a bit as well.
I've seen no rumored house that has that kind of draw and even ST does not have that draw anymore.

Going to be challenging and interesting

I’ll be doing hhn no matter what the reviews are.
If it’s a watered down event, I’ll live with it.

Been attending hhn since the third year it started
Some years have been better than others for me.

 

[Rose&Tom]

We're there for the 31st and the sixth time can't wait

 

[Welsh_Dragon]

Well here I find myself, the plus side of having a July flight cancelled and rebooking for October . Have the dates for RIP tours and AP HHN bookings been released yet?

 

[macraven]

They stopped the package bookings for the tours when the parks closed down

Confident tour bookings will reopen, no guess when

Are regular hhn tickets still open to buy though?

 

[macraven]

The bogo for hhn are available at the present deal
Never know if the price will increase later.
