We're finally here.
Tonight is our 1st HHN and there was a tornado watch, thunder & lightening and rain. Lots of rain. Water taxes stopped running. It's suppose to continue raining, lightly as each hour passes.
We're going to eat here at 5pm then head in.
Oh no! I forgot you were going last night. We ended up going too.
I thought it was an amazing night.
We were there for stay and scream and lined up in the Hill House line at 5. First of all there was a problem scanning my pass and they tried to tell me it had expired on Wednesday Oct 27. I was like...uh...it's an ultimate fear pass. Pretty sure it doesn't expire the Wednesday before Halloween. The TM argued with me a bit and finally another TM came over and told her to scan it again. Let me in just fine, was most likely a problem with her equipment.
The line began to move at 5:30 and we were inside the house at 5:51. It was a pretty good run through and as we left we noticed there was absolutely no one in line for Hill House. On the way out we also saw Beetlejuice was empty. It hadn't been the plan to do Beetlejuice last night but we hopped in line at 6:03 and and basically walked right in and were inside by 6:09 (it's a long walk back there).
We noticed that Hill House still had an extremely short line but we decided to move on.
We stopped by the sandwich tent to get a brisket and grilled cheese. There was no one in line and we got our food and ate while walking. The sandwiches were very greasy, but good for that type of food.
Next up was Wicked Growth. We walked right up, I had a moment of panic because Lil' Boo the pumpkin was gone. Then I spotted him way up higher towards the right of the arch. I wonder if they thought people might try to steal him so they put him up higher.
We were in Wicked Growth by 6:28 and were next walking into Puppet Theater at 6:35.
Wicked Growth and Puppet Theater are in my top 3 houses so we decided to do Wicked Growth again.
We were walking inside at 6:46. I wanted a selfie with Lil' Boo (like I don't already have 20) and this was the first attempt.
Uh yeah he's up high now. Take 2:
At 6:56 we were entering Puppet Theater for our second go round there:
See? Slightly darker.
We were headed to the next house in my top 3: Case Files. The skies were looking a bit threatening at this point but it never did rain.
Walking through Gorewood at a bit past 7.
Then Hacktion:
In line for Case Files at 7:10. This was our longest wait so far. We didn't make it in until 7:25. The standby was really short but the Express was massive so we moved incredibly slowly.
Next up Tooth Fairy had a 10 minute posted wait time so we headed there.
In line at 7:30 and I believe it took somewhere around 15.
Walked through Crypt TV:
We wanted to see if we could squeeze into the 8 pm Nightmare Fuel show but when we got there they said it had been canceled.
Continue in next post because I'm out of picture room.
