Official 2024 Universal Studios HHN 33 Thread

Usually first merch wave coincides with first announcement. Surprised there isn't anything

I am thinking 11:13 or 1:13 (13:13 military time) but total guessing. May also just see single day tickets or nothing at all.

Unrelated they are also selling Rip Ride Rocket Final Tour merch that I think is new today as well.

HHN merch as Five and Dime today - I think its all "never Go Alone" stuff
May want to watch for ticket sales to start IDK..

I didn’t pay a lot of attention as we don’t go to HHN anymore, but this appeared today

Probably, don't want to steal Epic's 'grand opening'

They do seem to love Thursday announcements

Not blown away by initial merch or latest spec map. It's early, lots of time to hit it out of the park

If we get vorhees and wwe.. I'll unfortunately be going this year after vowing to skip a year.

Been dying for a Jason or Freddie house.

Yeah - I am in the same boat - I had no plans to go and then they have a rumored Fallout house.
I also bought an AP so I could get room discounts for Epic - so another reason I'll probably do HHN again this year.
Although depending on tickets - I may just do 1 or 2 nights with express and call it a day - but its hard to be there an not go to HHN every possible night.

I was thinking a little differently - like if the grand opening is not great announce some HHN stuff to distract - even if just a little

If they have FNAF I will be going most likely... but I just got back from a trip and don't want to put the hotel on my credit card yet. Ugh. Choices!

There’s a pun in there lol. Admit to being a Jason fan from way back

and then they have a rumored Fallout house.

& again, between the game & the tv show; should be popular. Enjoy the franchise too. Like Jason tho, find when they don’t quite hit it out of the park re the house on one of my particular favorites, it winds up being doubly disappointing.

the whole disappearing VQ was a curve ball. I’m thinking it will take some pressure off them. You very well may be spot on there now that I think of it. Will be interesting to see how it unrolls.

Was thinking along the same lines as we have a couple trips in the pipeline between now & then. I saw the rates drop back down to where they were a couple of months ago for a couple of properties for the specific fall dates I needed. Was surprised to see RP under $330 avg a night PH rate in September. They had just kept going the wrong way for months. The rates dropped yet again last night. Not sure what is going on there.

Hopefully we see something similar in October at some point - right now its a lot more than I am willing to spend on a solo trip for an HHN that may well be mediocre again. 165 for dockside is crazy when I gust paid 95 a night. I know its a different time of year and its HHN etc...but I usually pay slightly more than 165 for Skyline view Aventura at HHN so that will be a tough pill to swallow if it does not come back down.

I just checked AP rates for 5/21&5/22
Rates are very excellent & availability everywhere ( Not Helios)

I guess they had too too many previews & guests are cancelling.
I know I would to avoid heat!
I just called yesterday to change my preview ticket purchased last October for June 8 to December 5 and got a small refund

And I posted this on DVC info .com
EPIC Mothers Day .
My son just happened to look late Saturday night for Helios Grand and cheap $468 for Club level standard view.
When we checked in they upgraded us to theme park view !
I have not attended any previews and did book Epic Open Day 5/22
Plus cheap rate when Helios booking opened …

The prices have been surging Up&Down
I hate price surging for everything
Just keep looking

P.s. I am not renewing AP when my pass expires 6/8
USO is not offering extended Passes anymore
Only 12 month 2 park AP currently

They will have something cause everybody uses their Xmas Cash for Disney passes every year since forever.
Universal needs locals as much as Disney ( although Disney also has DVC ))
