Just wanted to thank Metro for his mapped out plan on how to tackle the houses. I went last night and it worked out great! My experience will be brief since I'm mobile. Showed up at Finnegans by 4:15 and it was standing room only. No matter as long as I had a beer I was fine not having a table. They let us out at 5:45. Followed Metros advice for the order of the houses, only flaw was that US let everyone in the gates at 6, not 6:30. I was able to knock out 4 houses by 8 and that was without EP. Longest wait of the night for us was 110 minutes for WD. Another long wait time seemed to be Cabin in the Woods. Lucky for me that took 20 minutes because we knocked it out early. For Hell week it wasn't at all that bad.
Thanks for the advice here!
