Damn, Universal missing out on Hannah screaming in houses as a first timer by not giving media preview

Good thing we can see a regular guest experience though

[Bit.Slasher]

I’m so glad I invested in premium night this year. It’s pricy, yes, but if you’re a die-hard hhn fan then it’s totally worth it. Little to no crowds, you get to actually take in the scar zones, you get to do all 10 houses at your own pace with little to no waits and you get to go in with just you and your group. There was also a ton of extra room in the seating area for nightmare fuel. I got good seats AND had enough room to lay my legs out on the bench in front of me!

This was such a fun video, and I would LOVE to know more tips and tricks. I'm heading down in a few weeks. I hope I run into you!

You've had great HHN videos. I don't need to see inside every house but your coverage/reviews of the merchandise, food, and showing the time in line is actually helpful for someone coming

[lindsaycompton]

I love the layout of the houses and tents this year, much more efficient and less walking

[KLOgoesboo]

Please do that video you mention about what tips and tricks are working this year. We are thinking of coming for the first time ever 11/1 and or 11/2 so that would be amazing. This trio is chef’s kiss, love your energy together

[GamerGuyProductions]

Hannah has excellent active listening skills

[trishg.]

Really unfortunate you weren't invited to the media preview 😢 I love these videos and I can't wait to see how your rankings change throughout the event!

I saw you guys at opening night but didnt want to bother you by saying hi! So I am hoping I see yall again another night! This is my first year ever doing HHN and we managed to get through all 10 houses on opening night thanks to stay n scream. It was quite the experience for me for sure. Our last house of the night was Major Sweets, we went in at like 1:30am and there was no one in front or behind us. It was crazy! lol

With Express pass on one night, I did all 10 houses.I did all the scare zones.I did not see the show and I did get some food and got a couple of drinks. Is expensive but worth it.

[lexis]

The RIP tour is the way to do it if you can afford it. Less exhausting.

[DocZFlux]

If I could have gone this year I think my favorite would have been Major Sweets Factory Tour

[SlackerWannaB]

That dining credit sounds like an amazing deal!

Honestly I had a great time Wednesday. I loved this event, but I had express. Had plenty of time to do 9 of ten houses ( skipped insidious by choice) saw the show, did scare zones, and tried like four-five snacks and didn’t even stay until 2am. It’s my second year I went last year. I loved that one too. I’m going back a second night. Loved the nightmare fuel show more this year. I agree that the scare zones felt empty this year. I felt that way about the scare zone in the pier zone last year which I told universal in a survey.

Thanks for the HHN coverage. The opening night video was great. Question, if you start in New York scream early area and finish Ghostbusters before the park opens at 6:30, can I proceed to the two houses that open early from the World Expo area or would I have to stick with the New York area houses?

[SteveDave]

It always takes a few eeks before HHN gets better.

[vancecope]

We had a great experience on Sunday but we were there for stay and scream and I think the rain that afternoon had kept a lot of the initial crowd away...we hit 7 houses before 7:30 and did the last three between 11-1...agree that the $55 S&S ticket is kinda ridiculous and actually pushed me towards buying my UOAP again as i plan on going to HHN 4 times this season so 4 S&S and parking those 4 times covers a lot of the cost

[adamp]

Nothing was talked about nightmare fuel, even though it is a different story this year the show is still awesome and a absolute must see they always do an amazing job and they have some of the same performers as before but also new ones with some incredible acts, just make sure you get in line about 45 min early it has been filling up faster than in previous years you almost need to be there waiting before the last show is finished because they run them every 1 1/2 hours

[katcalico]

I love love love the idea of a dining credit promotion as opposed to a free dining plan promotion. Akin to a dining specific bar tab on Virgin Voyages or onboard credit. You don’t need to worry about snacks and credits, you just have that amount to spend on food in whatever manner you choose to do so. IDK - I am weird, but I am a fan of the dining credit. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[thefoof]

I went opening night as well and did the world expo stay and scream, it was actually not very crowded back there. There was just the 2 areas, New York and there. You entered by Chez Alcatrez and they would let you go over to the area near fear factor for goblins/bloodlines. The downside is those houses don't open until 545.
