HHN 34: Tips, Tricks & Planning Thread

[grlhowl]

I have to fly to Orlando, and I didn't think I'd be going to HHN this year... but my friends offered me to fly down with them to go on 10/12. Is that Hell Week? Express is sold out, so I'm already very worried about it. I'd love to go but I'm not sure it's worth it for me if our one night will be insanely crowded.

Not only Hell Week, but promises to be the most hellacious night that week, if not the event. Virtually all local schools out the next day, and plenty down from up north who always had Columbus Day off.

That said, such a good year, I still recommend going if that's your only option. Concentrate on two "big" houses and two or three "minor" ones, take in the zones, see Ghoulish. Just prioritize because you won't see everything.

Advice please. We are going Sunday night and maybe weds next week. Can’t seem to buy express online for either nights what’s the chances of buying in the park. Or are they sold out completely?

i've seen crazier things happen but i'd estimate like a less than 5% chance success rate.
They do have unspecified limited allotments saved for the parks, but i've heard it's a crapshoot.
If it's sold out online, and you've already tried calling and asking someone over the phone, i'd make an effort to get there super early and ask guest services before the park even opens that day - even if you're NOT going to USF or IoA that morning.
