Universal in October - better to go on HHN day or non HHN day?

[snoopy5386]

We are headed to Universal in a month and will not be attending HHN. Is it better to plan our Universal days around HHN? Will the parks be more or less crowded on HHN days?
Thanks!

sundays will have more peeps in the studios starting around 3ish.
the park closes at 5:00 to the public, hhn begins at 6:30 pm.


i am guessing that if you go on a non hhn date, you will have less crowds in the parks. (studios)

ioa is not affected by hhn.
it should stay open to 7:00 pm.

try to avoid hell week as it will bring in a lot of teens to the park in the daytime, especially if hhn will be happening that night.

what is the date you have in mind to be at UO?

week of 10/13-10/19

Other than Hell Week, it's still a lower crowd season, so we really haven't seen a big difference between non-HHN and HHN night days.

As long as it's not hell week, I'd be comfortable going with either option.

What/when is hell week?

 

[macraven]

hell week is when the local florida schools are not in session.

teens go to the park, lots of them.

it covers two different weeks as not all school districts have the same days off.

The area school calendars have all the schools closed on Friday October 19th. Also, some are closed on October 22nd. I would avoid HHN from 10/18 through 10/21 if at all possible.
