Does anyone think there will be a cheaper offer for just 1 night?

Doubt it.

One day tickets anywhere rarely have a discount and with HHN they know they can sell them.

I hope there is going to another house that matches or exceeds the excitement of Stranger Things. I say that because, if Stranger Things is this years premier house, the wait times and crowds are going to be insane.

That said, I do believe US has something else up their sleeve.

schumigirl, The only single day discounts that I can recall was an AP discount and maybe a FL Res discount, but it wasn't very much. Am I right?


I am SO excited for this year. Last year was my first. I know my teens will REALLY want to come this year with a Stranger Things house. They wanted to last year, but I wasn't sure since I hadn't been before. The will be 14 and 16 this fall.
So, with 4 of us, we will probably only do one night or if we did two it would have to be Friday and Saturday, so the BOGO won't help us. Maybe the RIP tour.

Yes! And I hope they do too! And I'm wondering what will fill the gap left by Bill and Ted's. (Though B&T was the only thing that I decided was a bit much for my kiddos just now.)

Maybe the RIP tour.

We've done the RIP tour twice- I thought it was well worth the cost. Once I figured out what EP would be for four of us and all that you get with the tour I purchased that. You see ALL houses, have a VIP area where you have pre HHN appetizers (cash bar)- and available all evening as well. Also, there are VIP stops with a private bar. VIP access to some rides as well. And a tour guide- very knowledgeable. They tell you the story to each house.

Oh that's great to know! Thanks!

I totally agree. For years we only purchased EP. Last year we decided that we would try the RIP tour. It was worth every penny!

We go two to three nights.

1st night is the non-private RIP tour. You get a great look at the whole HHN scene. We love the RIP tour, totally worth it as the above posters mentioned.
2nd-3rd night we get the EP's and hit our favorite houses again, hang out at Diagon Alley, hit some rides, get some food and drinks and people watch!

This is my plan. I think I'll only do 2 nights though. Halloween night- RIP. Then the Friday after maybe get an EP if I want to redo several houses (if not, just get there early and redo the few I want to do), and just hang out and do whatever.

My first trip and it's a solo one, so if anyone is going Halloween night or 11/2, let me know, maybe we can meet up.

Can't wait to do the RIP tour again. I have never felt so great about dropping that much cash. During a hot muggy Florida night and when you see lines going forever and you go straight in its worth every penny. I do not have too many sitter options so I only can afford to go one night, RIP is the way to go for sure.

There is a new Halloween movie coming out in October, starring Jamie Lee Curtis, set in the original location. I expect to see a return of Michael Myers and a Halloween themed house again.

We will be there the same time - and planning on the RIP tour Halloween night Then I think we will go on Friday. We really wanted to go on Saturday too.

Okay HHN experts. My kiddos are 28, 26, 13 and one month shy of 12. All are huge fans of Stranger Things!!! So everybody is super excited including the 11 yr old. The material on the website says not suggested for those under 13. Thoughts on the almost 12 yr old Stranger Things fan???? Be kind , looking for advice from those that have been. We have never been to one.

 

[macraven]

Google some of the videos others put up over the past few years

Have him watch them with you and you’ll have an idea if hhn is too intense for him

If he says it’s too scary, think twice before you buy tickets
There are no refunds on the hhn tickets if you go and leave the park right away

Some youngsters can handle the event and some are not ready yet

 

[meryll83]

Is there chance for any second visits to houses after the RIP tour? Or does it fill your whole evening?

Our tour took up the entire time, so we did not have time to do the houses again. Ours started at 7:30pm - and took us until around 1am I think.

We went last year with our son, who was 11, and our niece, who was 14. They both looooooved it!!! We did watch a ton of videos ahead of time. They were never terrified. We did the RIP tour - so they did all 9 houses with no problems. My son has autism, so we were super nervous about trying this. But he absolutely loves all things scary lol!!! The kids had a blast taking selfies with some of the scareactors too.

We have already booked a trip to go again this year. We are all massive Stranger Things fan!!! Here's a clip from our RIP tour from last HHN:

After reading this thread (and last years) Im having some strong feelings of FOMO...

I do not watch horror movies (cant sleep after) - and I'd not ashamed to say Im afraid of the dark. So Im pretty sure HHN is not for me. But.......

 

[Robo56]

Yeah!!!!!! Keisha started the Official HHN 2018 sticky.......let the momentum begin for HHN 2018.
