Definitely not

THANK YOU JESUS. Somebody gave me a heart attack. It is weird they won’t let you purchase tickets on the site though. It won’t let you add to cart with any of the ticket packages…

 

[Parkscope Joe]

So I’ve gotta ask real quick because I have gotten my tickets yet BUT is it true the Frequent Fear passes are Sold out???!!…please tell me this is not true!

They don’t sell out. Why didn’t you check the site first?

It's ShieKra, but you're welcome

Makre sure you're selecting the ticket you want and also hitting that + to actually add the ticket. Or else, yeah, that add to cart button stays unclickable.

I tried it and the same thing happened to me, refreshed and it allowed me to add it to the cart, was most likely just a glitch in the site.

Separate note I never made reservations for Finnegan's in the past and never had an issue just doing walk-up, even if a wait, right before Stay & Scream (always enjoyed having dinner there during S&S and as the park sets for HHN). However just considering everything and how more and more important reservations seem to be I went to look at reservations for Finns and basically every HHN night is full all day except for about 11am-12:30p or something similar. Just curious how people think this aspect of the event will go this year if for around S&S time it'll be reservations only/minimal walk-ups or could it be as easy as before?

No reservations are available after 1pm for HHN nights, I was doing research months ago and they were just not offered. Also I don’t know if NY will be a S&S location this year so don’t make any concrete plans around that.

Thanks! I was shocked at the idea that every HHN night Finns was booked completely lol! I was like what crazy Disney dining reservation like experience am I trying to book!? Lol! Yes nothing set in stone however if available absolutely would love to go for it. Otherwise yes will go for something in CityWalk/close by. Thank you!

Weird, I have a 3:45 reservation there I got back in June for 9/17. Done through Zomato but redirected from Uni's website. Easily cancellable if it turns out it won't be an S&S location, but still weird.

Needed that laugh, thanks you

POST OF THE YEAR

Unrelated, but to avoid double posting: Universal has warned you that Covid measures may come back since the day the site went live. What you want on that score is irrelevant. Your belief that a given measure is useless theater/actually dangerous (even if you are correct) is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that you were informed before you bought the ticket. Your feelings are your feelings, but they are also your problem and not Universal's.

Maybe they sold them and then pulled them in anticipation of S&S. Or they sold out. Or you got lucky. I dunno.

My recollection from past years is that they did reservations through 4 pm on HHN days. But I’m also old and have a terrible memory.

Optics

"What can we do to make it look like we care a lot without affecting the bottom line too much?"

I'll just throw my hat in here quickly - the plexi really didn't bother me much in Tooth Fairy and Brides. Like, at all. Would it be a better experience without it? Yeah, obviously. But would I be ANGRY if it was there? not at all.

While I recognize as a health measure it's useless at best, and I didn't love it last year, hardly the worst thing. No worse than exit signs and long, black curtain hallways. Actually takes me out of the experience less than a glow stick in my face and "Keep moving!"

The bigger issue last year was lack of actors (particularly in BJ), so if this placebo makes a certain segment of potential actors feel safe enough to come work the event, that's a net positive.

 

[vrajewski]

Honestly I’m considering moving my trip to later until numbers come down. I don’t really care about plexiglass other than it being nothing more than show and a sign that Universal didn’t taking the gravity of the situation seriously

I'm glad our trip is planned for later in October. I planned for a busier event, and opted for Express passes. But now, I'm hoping that later on in the event we will be in a better place as far as infection rates go. Either way, I'm just excited to attend the event this year after 3 years off- plexi or not.

No reservations are available after 1pm for HHN nights, I was doing research months ago and they were just not offered. Also I don’t know if NY will be a S&S location this year so don’t make any concrete plans around that.

I was curious about this too, with the huge SZ pieces pretty much in the middle of what would normally be the exit point of the NY area.

 

[JawsVictim]

Unpopular opinion, but Finn’s before HHN is overrated. I was anxious about getting the food and check in time and ended up caught in the back of the S&S crowd by the time I was out.

Looks like my group’s going regardless of plexiglass. I gotta find a way to change my attitude now :ack:

Y’all should keep canceling your trips I’m tryna have every house be a walk on like during hhn lite

Brides was always a walk-on, but Tooth Fairy... ehhhhh
